Decluttering in the apartment will help to release house space and to create the cozy atmosphere of the house which will always lighten the mood. It will be much easier for you to carry out cleaning after you get rid of unnecessary stuff. And if you decide to sell things on the Internet – you will be able to earn on really necessary purchase.
1. If you have decided to be engaged in decluttering of your dwelling, you should not throw out everything that catches sight thoughtlessly. Do decluttering gradually, since the hall and finishing with the bedroom.
2. Sort all things which are at you on houses on three categories: - on emission; - to give (to sell, etc.); - to leave; Think up the place for each remained thing in the apartment.
3. It is not obligatory to throw out things. Some objects can be given, presented, carried in animals shelter, for example, old towels and rags. Also something can be handed over in processing or collection point for waste paper. The unnecessary clothes can be handed over in boarding school for teenagers or elderly people, and still it is accepted in churches and monasteries.
4. It is also possible to begin to separate stuff from the necessary objects of categories: clothes, footwear, kitchen utensils, etc. For example, today you sort all clothes from the hall, cabinets to the bedroom or the hall, mezzanines, and tomorrow you sort cosmetics which is stored in make-up bag and in bathroom locker.
5. Read one or several books on cleaning and the organization of storage. The most popular, for example: - Mari Kondo "Magic cleaning. The Japanese art of establishing order of the house and in life"; - Marla Sealy "School of the FlyLady. How to bring order to the house and to life"; - Erin Dolannd "Simplify to yourself life. How to bring order at work and at home". One-two evenings spent for reading a hundredfold will pay off in the future. You in detail learn from books how it is correct to organize space and things in the house so that cleaning took place quickly and easily, and the order remained much longer.
6. Remove everything from the house, than you do not use more than a year. If you do not use these things such long time, means it is quite possible to do without them.
7. Also get rid of not used duplicates. For example, if you have two kitchen hammers for breaking off of meat, keep only one copy.
8. Fold clothes which you have decided to leave compactly and separately on categories: - underwear; - outerwear; - sweaters, jackets; - trousers, etc. For each type of clothes allocate the shelf in cabinet or box. It is better to hang up clothes which are rumpled on coat hanger.
9. It is convenient to use organizers both in kitchen boxes, and in wardrobes. Use them to order things. It is possible both buy organizers, and to make them independently. For example, it is possible to use as organizer box from footwear. And still it is possible to decorate it or just to paste over with self-adhesive wall-paper for walls and furniture.
10. To motivate itself and to be inspired on cleaning of the apartment, it is possible to look at different transfers: - "Mad about purity"; - "Clear-out", etc.
