The New Year is all about turning over a new leaf and taking charge of your life, getting organized and taking on new challenges. And that can mean finally tackling your home’s clutter! If your belongings have been taking over your home for years or you’d like to clear out before you move, here are some key items you should be getting rid of when you declutter your home to help you live your best life! Our cash for houses agency in Dallas can also sell your home in 24 hours.
#1 – Old linen and sheets
They’re not so old that you should be throwing them away, but they’re just no longer suitable for your home – and yet they’re always lurking in your cupboards just incase. By all means, keep a couple of old towels for when you wash the dogs, but let go of all the rest. Any linen and towels that are in good condition can either be sold or donated to organizations that need them, and the rest can be donated to pet shelters or cut up for cleaning rags.
#2 – Old VCR tapes, CDs, DVDs, and cassettes
Today, all things are digital, so it’s time to get rid of dusty cassettes and CDs that are taking up space in your home. Any home videos on VCRs can be digitized and stored in the cloud, where they will be safe, easily accessible, and won’t degrade in quality over time. Old DVDs can be donated to senior homes and charity shops, and everything else can go in the trash.
#3 – Old paper reading material
Books that aren’t precious to you, old bills, newspapers, and outdated magazines are a common type of home clutter that builds up surprisingly quickly! Again, all they really do is collect dust – and they can become attractive material for mice and other pests too. You’ll be amazed at how much space and openness you can create when you clear out your shelves, coffee tables, desk, and drawers. Most of it can be recycled too!
#4 – Single-task appliances and kitchenware
Storage and countertop space is a premium in kitchens, and it’s easy to clutter this space up with ultra-specific appliances and kitchen items. Instead, clear these into the donation box and buy items that can do general duty. For example, an instant pot can make yogurt, work as a pressure cooker, and cook rice, so you don’t need a rice cooker, yogurt maker, and pressure cooker too. Decluttering your kitchen not only makes meal prep easier, it makes your kitchen easier to use and more stress-free too.
#5 – Broken and unused toys
Kids and adults today have so much stuff, and a lot of it becomes clutter quickly. Kids outgrow their toys, change their preferences, or they get broken through normal wear-and-tear. Adults also pick up hobbies and interests that change over time, yet the equipment lurks in our garages and cupboards for decades. Many of these items can sell quite well secondhand on online marketplaces, giving you cash to go towards other projects. The rest can be donated, recycled, or put in the trash as needed.
When you declutter your home, you’ll be amazed at the effect it has on your life and wellbeing. So much of our unused stuff becomes a burden on our lives and a reminder of our past, a source of everyday stress, and visual distraction. Decluttering is a wonderful way to make your home feel fresh and renewed for the year ahead!
