Reduce Clutter In Your Home With These Quick Organizing Ideas

Do you want to reduce clutter in your house in less than 10 minutes? It is much easier than you may think. Ok, now you need to have a laundry basket or a similar type of container on hand. Something that is lightweight, has handles and large enough to hold a bunch of stuff. I also find it handy to take along a small bag for trash, that you may encounter along the way..

Begin by rotating clockwise throughout the room, picking up any item that is out of place and put it in the bin. You are not going through any of the items at this stage in the process. You will have enough time to go through things, in a bit. Right now, you just need to remove any items that do not belong in that particular room of the house.

This will get rid of about 90% of the clutter, and take only about a minute or two. Just by doing this, you will notice an instant improvement in the appearance of the room. Plus, if you get an unexpected visitor, you could easily stash the basket in a closet (only until your company is gone).

Then, take a few minutes to put away all the items that belong in that room. It is necessary for everything to have its place in the room. It is difficult to put things back, if you have no specific home for the items. For example, any clean clothes should be put in the dresser or closet. Jewelry needs to be put back in the jewelry chest.

Keep any soiled clothing in the bottom of the basket. Bring the basket with you from room to room and put things back where they should be. Make your last stop be the laundry room, where you can toss the dirty clothes in the washing machine. Quick, simple and easy.

Now with that being said, these tips are not meant to take the place of a proper cleaning. Obviously, you must always take sufficient time to clean and sanitize all surfaces in your house. Otherwise, a messy room will be the least of your worries (ugh...critters galore). This is just meant to give you a quick way to declutter your home, in between your usual thorough cleaning routine.
