5 Tips to Declutter Your Benton City Home Daily

Benton City Woman Decluttering Her HomeAs a renter, a cluttered home can be a source of headache and irritation. Yet the method of decluttering a home is like a never-ending battle with your stuff. Instead of just moving things around, experts suggest applying a few specific strategies to help you declutter your home a little bit every day. In fact, by obeying these five simple suggestions, you can remove clutter from your Benton City home eventually.

1.  Start Small

Attempting to declutter the whole house at once is an effective way to get frustrated – and for nothing to change. Preferably, start small. Set aside 5 or 10 minutes every day and focus on removing clutter from a single area. You’ll start seeing a massive reduction in the amount of clutter in your house within a few days.

2.  Give Unused Items Away

Lots of us have unused items that occupy a lot of space in our homes and closets. Try choosing just one item to give away each day. That will add up to 365 items in a year. To determine which apparel to save and which you could donate, try this simple trick: turn all of your hangers in the reverse direction. As you wear each item, turn the hangers back the correct way. After a few months, gather up everything you haven’t worn and donate them.

3.  Use a Trash Bag

If you’re willing to try something new, you could try the trash bag approach. To use this approach, get a large trash bag and go around the house and start searching for things that you don’t use or need anymore. Fill the space in the bag as fast as you can, then donate the items or sell them.

4.  Create a Decluttering Checklist

Decluttering your home every day is a lot quicker if you have clearly defined tasks. Besides, you can keep an eye on your progress by checking everything as it gets accomplished. Using a checklist like this one, focus on decluttering a little bit at a time, for just a few minutes per day.

5.  Use the Box Method

Another option to declutter your house rapidly is to use the box method. Get several boxes and label them with terms like Keep, Give Away, Trash, or Re-Locate. Going to one room at a time, take each item in the room and place it into one of the boxes. Don’t stop until every single item is in a box. At that time, go through by donating, re-locating, or throwing away the items in the corresponding box. Another alternative option is to have baskets for every member of the household. When the baskets are loaded up, they have to put their things away in their proper place every day. In these ways, you can declutter your entire house one box or basket at a time.

No matter which decluttering tip you begin with, by using them, it is possible to get the clutter in your house under control and keep it to a minimum every day.
