10 tips to declutter your home
A cluttered house can affect your mental and physical health, and it can be challenging to figure out where to start when it comes to tidying up. However, it's essential to know that decluttering is not a one-time event, but rather a continuous effort to maintain a clean and organized home. Here are ten Clean Junkie tips to declutter your house and keep it that way.
Starting Small: It can be overwhelming to clean an entire house at once, so it's best to start with one area or room. You can then develop a system that works for you and move on to other areas later.
Utilizing Storage Space: Although it's tempting to keep everything out in the open, do the opposite. Invest in storage space such as shelves, cabinets, and drawers to keep items you don't use daily.
Give Away/Sell Unnecessary Items: donate, or sell items that are no longer needed. This can help you create more physical space to operate and keep your home better organized.
Get Rid of Duplicates: Keep only one of everything you need. There's no use in having two items that work the same function.
Share Responsibilities: You don't have to declutter on your own, find family members to help make the process easier.
Put Everything in Their Rightful Place: Assign a proper place for everything you have, and ensure you put everything back in its spot after use.
Use Labels: Make labeling a priority. Labeling can help you quickly identify what you need rather than searching.
Digitize Where Possible: If possible, switch to digital documents/files to declutter your physical workspace.
Make Cleaning a Habit: Regularly clean up and adjust items throughout the week to keep your items organized.
Avoid Accumulating Clutter Again: Once you've decluttered, make it a habit to avoid accumulating clutter in your space again. Purchase only the things that are essential.
Decluttering can seem like a daunting task, but it's vital to keep a clean and organized home. Whether through donations, storage space, or regular cleaning, find what works for you and make it a habit.
