Declutter Your Home for A Simpler Cleaning Experience

While you might think that decluttering is a stressful and time-consuming exercise, you couldn’t be more wrong! What’s even better, is that it’s very fulfilling, and once you’ve done it, cleaning your home becomes a whole lot easier.

With these decluttering tips, you can simplify cleaning and make life easier all round:

Get Rid of Surface Clutter First

This is probably the easiest step in the decluttering process, and simply involves picking items off of surfaces, and either putting them where they belong, finding a cupboard or box for them to belong in, throwing them in the trash, or giving them away. Once you’ve cleared the majority of surfaces in your home, the place will automatically look and feel, tidier and cleaner.

Continue Throughout the Entire Home

This can be an express version if you’re pushed for time, but by simply moving through your home and identifying clutter that needs to go or be moved, you can make great strides towards a clutter free home.

Eliminate Floor Clutter

This can have the same impact as the previous steps, and will make vacuuming and mopping the floors, a cinch.

Find Suitable Homes for Everything

If you don’t have somewhere to put your clutter, think carefully as to whether that might be because you’ve got too much of it, or whether you simply haven’t been organized about where everything goes. Items that have a home, can go there and help you keep floors and surfaces free.

It helps if you can store your clutter out of sight, such as in baskets, boxes or closets.

Make Firm, Decisive Decisions About Your Clutter

If you don’t like something, haven’t used something for months (and aren’t likely to), or simply know that you have too much clutter, it’s important to try and make quick and decisive decisions about what stays, and what goes. Typically, you may have to be brutal if you’re ever to achieve a clutter-free home that makes your house cleaning easy.

Take Simple Steps, Such as Making Your Bed

Something as quick and simple as making your bed can help your bedroom feel tidier, and make you feel more inclined to keep it that way. Other small actions, such as tidying up cushions and putting toys and magazines away, can inspire you to clean, since doing so will be easier with less obstacles in the way, and less items to dust.

Decluttering doesn’t have to be a task that you dread, and when carried out with conviction and enthusiasm, it can be immensely satisfying. Most importantly of all, with less clutter, you’ll be able to clean your home more easily, and keep it that way for longer. For help cleaning once you’ve successfully decluttered your home, try hiring a professional cleaning company, whose services might just be cheaper than you think.
