How to Completely Declutter Your Home
Clutter becomes annoying as it piles up. When it gets to the point when you simply cannot handle it, you will need to declutter your home. The process of completely decluttering your home doesn’t have to be difficult. There are some steps and tips you can use to make the process much easier.4 Steps for Decluttering Your Entire House
Step #1 – Set Your Decluttering Goals
Map out the rooms in your home and discover where the worst spots for clutter are found. This will help you set your goals for each area and decide where to start first. You might want to set completion dates for each room or phase of your decluttering to keep yourself on track. It can also be a good idea to push yourself a bit to help keep you motivated.Step #2 – Design a System for Sorting
You will likely have some things that need to be tossed in the trash, but other things might be worth selling or keeping. As you go through your home, you should consider having piles for the following:- Items to Keep
- Junk for the Trash
- Things to put in Storage
- Stuff to Sell
- Things to Donate to Charity
Step #3 – Split Up Your Trash Items
Not everything you plan to throw away will be able to be disposed of the same way. Some things, such as plastics, papers, and glass can be recycled, while other things have to be thrown out properly. Make sure you look into how to dispose of toxic things, such as paint and cleaning chemicals. Some things cannot be tossed out with the trash or even put into a dumpster rental. If you have old electronics, an EcoATM can be a good way to recycle them. You can also donate some things on Freecycle or another website to let someone else use them. Even old bottles or something you don’t think can be donated can help someone looking for those materials.Step #4 – Sell Things
Anything in good shape can be sold. You can sell things in multiple ways, such as:- On eBay – If you have smaller, easily shippable items, you can sell them on eBay.
- On Craigslist/Facebook Marketplace – Anything larger you would rather someone pick up, such as furniture, can be sold on Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace.
- Have a Garage Sale – You can sell all kinds of things in a garage sale, such as household items, kitchen items, holiday decor, and other items.
- Sell to a Pawn Shop – Collectibles, tools, guns, and some other items can be sold to a local pawn shop if they are in good condition.
4 Tips to Make Home Decluttering Easier
1. One Room at a Time
Decluttering your entire home starts with one room at a time. You cannot look at it as an entire project you have to tackle all at once. Instead, tackle one room at a time to ensure you can stay sane as you do a complete decluttering of your home.2. Rent a Dumpster
When you completely declutter your home, it’s a good idea to rent a small dumpster. You might end up tossing out so many things it takes multiple trash pickups to get rid of them all. Some things you get rid of might be too big or made of material that the regular trash pick-up won’t take. With a dumpster rental, you can toss most things out without worry. Toxic things cannot go in dumpster rentals, but most other materials can easily be tossed out. Plus, if you choose Waste Removal USA, you get 14 days to declutter with your dumpster rental.3. Track What You Use
One of the tricks you can do to track what you use is flip all your clothing hangers the opposite way. Then, when you wear something, flip them the right way. This will show you what you haven’t worn since the last time you went through your closet. You can also do this with DVDs or CDs by flipping them around. Then, you know what you have used and what you haven’t used.4. Sell or Donate Anything in Good Shape
When something is still in good shape and still works well, sell or donate it. Things in good shape don’t belong in the trash. Take the time to separate them out and let someone else get use out of them. Whether you choose to sell or donate is up to you, but don’t let things go to waste that are still in working condition. Completely decluttering your home is a big job. Take the time to lay out a plan and rent a dumpster for all the trash.
