Tired of cleaning your home only to see it become cluttered again? A cleaning expert has a simple solution: declutter! @thecleanupcompany, a popular content creator on TikTok, explains that excessive clutter is the culprit behind your home’s struggle to stay tidy.
She advocates for a ‘massive declutter’ to make your home cleaner for longer. Her advice? Get rid of anything you don’t use regularly. She suggests using the ‘two-month rule’ – if you haven’t used it in the past two months, you likely don’t need it.
Beyond decluttering, she advises against overspending on unnecessary items that contribute to clutter. The more you buy, the more you’ll have to clean up. Instead of tackling the whole house at once, she recommends focusing on one room per day. Declutter and deep clean, taking your time to ensure a thorough job.
To make the process more efficient, she suggests gathering black bags for discarding items, a new bucket, fresh cloths, and a cleaning supplies haul from your favorite store. Having everything you need in one place can be motivating.
Turning up the music, opening the windows, and wearing comfortable clothes can also boost your cleaning spirit. If you need extra motivation, @thecleanupcompany suggests watching her videos for an extra kick!
She emphasizes that it’s impossible to clean everything in one day, so decluttering, deep cleaning, and taking your time are key. Be ruthless! You don’t need everything you have. Clutter is often the reason your home doesn’t feel as clean as you’d like, even after cleaning. It prevents your space from feeling tidy and organized.
