Have you ever had it strike you suddenly that your house needs an EMERGENCY DECLUTTERING before your company arrives? Life can get crazy sometimes, and NOW is that time for you. Your home is a complete DISASTER, and you can just picture your guests raising their eyebrows at the mess. What would your mother-in-law say? Or your MOTHER, for that matter? What are you going to do with all the clutter in your home that looks so ugly? You have no choice but to do an emergency decluttering. Here are tips that should save your sanity and assist you with your emergency decluttering!
- Walk around the house and look for obvious and not-so-obvious GARBAGE! Get rid of doubles of things, and also packaging or boxes that you think that you will need IF you move "one day". Be brutal and get rid of broken items that you have been holding onto for "sentimental reasons". You will not miss them.
- Fill up a box with items for charity, and then drop it off before you change your mind!
- Box up excess photo frames for an emergency decluttering of your shelves and table-tops.. Even if you are planning to bring them out again once your visitors leave, doing so will give a much less cluttered look to your rooms.
- Remove everything from the floor of one room, wash the floor, and once you're done, only put back the things that really belong there.
- Recycle your old catalogue pile. Now-a-days, almost everything is available on the internet.
- Make use of decorative box sets. These are available everywhere these days and are very handy as they appear both attractive and orderly where-ever you place them, and they can conceal a great deal of random "stuff".
- Search through the bathroom and pack at LEAST a shoebox with hair-products, medications, make-up, and lotions that are past expiry date and toss them into the garbage.
- If you really need more storage space purchase a pantry cupboard with doors and set it along a wall. These make great closets, and you can fit (or hide) a LOT of items on their shelves. Close the doors and you will be amazed at the way you get rid of clutter fast!
