Keep Your Phone Dry In The Bathroom
A phone within reach while you shower or brush your teeth is a small comfort that makes mornings easier. Here are two simple, no-drill ways to keep it safe from steam and splashes in a Maltese bathroom.
Turn a towel rail into a phone stand
Humid bathrooms and phones do not mix well, especially during Malta's long summer months when steam lingers after every shower. A neat trick solves this without any tools or wall damage. Slip the phone into a resealable plastic bag and press out the air so moisture stays locked out. Clip the bag onto a hanger, then hook the hanger over an existing towel rail or rod. The screen stays visible and usable straight through the plastic, so calls, messages and playlists remain within reach while hands are busy with soap and water.

A suction holder that moonlights as a phone perch
A small plastic toothbrush holder with a suction cup can take on a second job. Instead of holding a brush, it grips a phone upright against glass, a mirror or tiles, which suits compact bathrooms in flats and townhouses where shelf space is tight. The suction cup does the work, so there is no drilling and no marks left behind when it moves. A label can help if more than one person in the household wants their own spot, and the hollow shape of the holder tends to give music or podcasts a slightly fuller sound while playing.
