Good storage of dry materials in sink cabinets.
If normally dry materials are wet, check for leaks or deteriorated caulking/grouting around the sink and countertop, and have a qualified plumber repair or replace any plumbing components or have the deteriorated caulking/ grouting repaired.
So where should you store such chemicals? A cabinet out of the reach of young children in the garage or at an exterior location is great, but if you must keep them inside, an upper hallway closet, the cabinet above the microwave oven, or the cabinet above the refrigerator make good interior locations.

As with all chemicals, however, make sure the cover is tightly closed and secured so that it doesn’t spill when you reach for it and accidentally knock it over or drop it. If you do have to keep chemicals in lower cabinets or drawers, make sure those cabinets and drawers have child-proof latches on them.
