Whenever we do a video about decluttering, inevitably the comment section fills up with comments which basically go something like: "Melissa, my place is a mess, I've never decluttered before and I'm freaking out and don't know where to start". It's a reality, decluttering can be stressful—I've been there!...
Everyone loves saving money. I don't like to generalize, but I've never heard someone say "nah, throw that money down the drain!". Yet, that's exactly what I was doing when I used to use too much product when cleaning, or when I didn't know how to take care of my...
Rarely, I'll get inspired to clean out an area in my home that really, truly needs it. My kitchen cupboards were the most recent benefactor of this inspiration; it was time to deal with the scattered spices, expired flour, useless gadgets and old teapots (and um, everything else).
I decided...
Not too long ago we put together an article looking at our top 10 rules for a cleaner home. We then asked all of our fans to tell us their number one rule for a cleaner home. We received a ton of responses, so much so that we decided to...
Creating Clean My Space videos really makes Chad and I think about everything that we do and everything that we let come into our house. We've been thinking a lot about clutter over the past couple of years, especially because we seem to be getting more and more "stuff" sent...
Do you get overwhelmed by the idea of decluttering? Do you find it difficult to purge personal belongings—even when you really want to clean up and organize? That's because, for some people, decluttering is more than just an organizational task—it can become an emotional one. I hear several common excuses for...
A while back, we created an article called 10 Things To Toss Today that was designed to help you get started on what can be a difficult decluttering journey. You guys ate that content up like it was a tasty bag of chips, so we decided to give you...
A few times a year, I'll walk into my bathroom and start to notice things that just don't belong anymore, which leads me to take an inventory of what's actually in my bathroom, and ultimately come up with a list of things I know I can (and should) toss...
Decluttering is one of those cleaning tasks that need to be done on a regular basis. If you don’t stay on top of clutter it can quickly grow and overwhelm even the most conscientious of us. One of the challenges with decluttering is that as homeowners we tend to...
Do you ever walk into your kitchen and just pass by a bunch of things, roll your eyes, and then rifle around and try to find what you really need? If this happens to you, it probably means that there are things in your kitchen that you need to...
With a new year comes the whole "new year, new you" theme that drives everyone a little crazy. We do all of this stuff in January, and then by February, it kind of falls apart. So, what I'd like to do is give you 10 rules for a cleaner...
We've been talking a lot about decluttering here at Clean My Space and most of our conversations center around decluttering our physical space - and you guys have been rocking that! One area that we haven't really touched on, which we know is a big one, is DIGITAL DECLUTTERING....
It's about time we wrapped up our spring cleaning series and because we wanted to go out with a bang - we have decided to tackle one of the most requested areas in my home ... my bedroom closet.
It's an area that we've just managed but haven't ever dedicated...
Chad and I have really put a focus on decluttering this year at the Clean My Space HQ. We've vowed to consciously reduce the amount of "stuff" we have around the house by being really critical of what bring in to our home. While this is great, we still...
In a world filled with exclusive email offers, BOGO sales, haul videos and monetized Instagram posts, it's easy to get wrapped up in buying things that you don't necessarily need. This is the reason behind, and the complete opposite of, a minimalist lifestyle. Now, to be clear, I'm not...
We're starting to see some of the more serious ramifications of excessive plastic use on the environment. It's not possible to eliminate all plastic from our lives but there are many ways that we can reduce the amount we bring into our homes, consume and ultimately that we are...
