  • Carboard Box

    Cardboard tends to absorb moisture from its surroundings, so storing it under the sink might make a mess. It might also ruin whatever is inside the box.
  • Electrical Appliances

    Moisture can cause damage to your electrical appliances and also create a hazard for you if you plug them in without drying.
  • Perishable Items

    Storing perishables under the sink would make them stale faster and increase the chances of you getting sick since the dampness can encourage bacterial growth.
  • Kitchen Cutlery

    Some types of cutlery are fragile and not supposed to be stored under the sink because of the plumbing pipes. These pipes rattle violently and can break the cutlery.
  • Wooden Items

    Wood tends to attract moisture and can degrade when exposed to moisture. It could lead to mold growth and compromise the quality of wooden items.
