Decluttering before a cleaning appointment helps maximize the effectiveness of the clean. A tidy environment allows cleaners to reach all surfaces and speeds up the process.
Practical Decluttering Tips
- Set Small Goals: Dedicate 15-30 minutes daily to declutter one room or area to avoid overwhelm.
- Sort & Donate: Use boxes or bins labeled “Keep,” “Donate,” and “Trash.” Be honest about what you really need and use.
- Create Storage Zones: Use baskets, bins, and shelving to group similar items—label containers to maintain organization.
- Clear Flat Surfaces: Remove excess items from countertops, desks, and tables to give cleaners access.
- Maintain Minimalism: Less clutter means less dust and easier cleaning. Adopt simple habits to keep clutter under control.
Benefits
A decluttered space not only looks better but allows for a deeper, more thorough clean—resulting in a more refreshing and comfortable home or workspace.
