Have you ever had it strike you suddenly that your house needs an EMERGENCY DECLUTTERING before your company arrives? You wonder how in the WORLD it got so cluttered, so messy. Your house is a complete DISASTER, and you can just picture your guests raising their eyebrows at the mess. How can you save yourself from the embarassment? What can you do with all the untidiness in your home that looks so nasty? There is only one thing you can do: start an emergency decluttering. Here are several ideas designed to save your sanity and assist you with your emergency decluttering!
- Move about the house and look for not-so-obvious and obvious GARBAGE! Get rid of doubles of things, as well as boxes or packaging that you think that you'll need IF you move "someday". Be tough on yourself and throw out damaged things that you have been holding onto for "sentimental reasons". You will not miss them.
- Fill up a bag with things for a charitable organization, and drop it off before you change your mind!
- Pack up your surplus of knick-knacks for an emergency decluttering of your coffee tables and selves. Even if you are planning to bring them out again after your visitors leave, this will present a much less cluttered look to your house.
- Take everything off of the floor of one room, wash it, and then only put back the items that actually belong there.
- Throw your old catalogue pile into the recycle bin. You can always find what you need online.
- Get some of those pretty decorative box sets. These are available all over the place lately and are very useful as they appear both attractive and orderly where-ever you put them, plus they are able to conceal a large amount of random "items".
- Search through the bathroom and pack at LEAST a small box with make-up, lotions, and hair-products that are past expiry date and throw it out.
- If you really need more cupboard space pick up a pantry cupboard with doors and stick it in a spare bedroom. These make great emergency closets, and you can pack (or hide) a LOT of things on its shelves. Close the doors and you'll be pleasantly surprised at how quickly you declutter an area!
There are certain times when you need to get rid of clutter fast. Whether for emotional reasons such as your in-laws coming for a stay the day after tomorrow, or because you happen to be all of a sudden FED UP with being embarrassed about your disorganized house, these emergency decluttering ideas can allow you to clear the clutter for good... or at the very least conceal it nicely away for a quick fix!
