When clutter starts to pile up, getting rid of it can become a daunting task. But if your rental home is beginning to overflow with clutter, you need to tackle the problem head-on. The longer you delay, the more clutter will accumulate, making decluttering even more challenging!
Decluttering your entire house or apartment in one sitting won’t be sufficient. Instead, tackle tiny areas at a time. Although you have just 10 minutes each day, you can start to clear away unsightly clutter slowly. By doing so, you can declutter your way toward having the tidy and organized home you want.
Tackle One Room at a Time
One valuable approach to decluttering a rental home is to approach one room at a time. For example, many professional organizers recommend starting with just one room in your house to completely clear of clutter. One option is to make separate bins or boxes for goods that needing putting away, donating, or disposing. The next step is to arrange and place each piece of clutter in one of the bins.
When tossing out broken items or improperly placed objects, please use the “put away” bin. After that, sort the contents of each bin and either store them, get rid of them, or donate them to a local thrift shop. In this fashion, you can rapidly clear off counters, floors, and tabletops and quickly see visible improvement.
Keep it Short and Sweet
Another effective approach to decluttering is allotting just a few minutes at a time decluttering one single space, such as a drawer or cabinet. With this approach, you first give yourself a time limit, such as 10 minutes. At that time, you go over the drawer or cabinet, pulling everything out. Throw away broken or expired items or donate things you haven’t used in the past year.
It is always suggested that you go through your pantry and medicine cabinet at least once a year and remove any expired or unused items. Be sure to properly dispose of expired medications, as they cannot simply be thrown in the garbage. Countertops are another trouble spot that can be swiftly cleared of clutter in just a few minutes.
Once you’ve cleared the space, organize and replace the belongings you are storing there. Take this chance to create a system for that spice cabinet or group items in your pantry for quicker access. While organizing a closet could be a more substantial undertaking of more than 10 minutes, the identical systematic approach will also be effective. Just be sure to have plenty of boxes or bins handy to gather anything you decide you no longer want and put away clothing items as you go.
A Place for Everything
Keeping your rental home free of clutter will be much easier if everything you own has a proper place. As we amass more possessions, sometimes we accumulate items that don’t seem to belong anywhere in the house. But to keep clutter under control, discovering a permanent home for your things and returning items to their proper place after using them is vital.
If you have too many things for the available space, this could be a chance to downsize or simplify. Think about donating unused items to a charity or thrift store. On the other hand, if the weather is nice, you could sell some of your extra stuff online or hold a garage sale. Keep them neatly in clearly labeled plastic tubs or bins for anything you can’t stand to part with. In this method, you can keep your things and your home clean and organized.
