If your home feels cluttered, you’re not alone. Between busy work schedules, kids, pets, and everyday life in St. Louis, clutter can build up quickly. The good news? Decluttering doesn’t have to be stressful.
At Cleaning Plus St. Louis, we’ve helped countless homeowners refresh their spaces. Here are simple, practical tips to help you declutter your home — without feeling overwhelmed.
1. Start Small and Stay Focused
Instead of tackling your entire home in one weekend, start with one small area:
-
One drawer
-
One closet shelf
-
One bathroom cabinet
Completing small tasks builds momentum and keeps you motivated.
2. Use the Three-Box Method
Grab three boxes or bins labeled:
-
Keep
-
Donate
-
Trash
As you go through items, make quick decisions. If you haven’t used it in a year, it’s likely time to let it go.
3. Follow the “One In, One Out” Rule
For every new item you bring into your home, remove one old item. This keeps clutter from creeping back in.
4. Clear Flat Surfaces First
Countertops, coffee tables, and kitchen islands collect clutter quickly. Clearing these areas instantly makes your home feel cleaner and more open.
5. Schedule a Professional Deep Cleaning
Once you declutter, a professional cleaning can truly reset your home. Cleaning Plus St. Louis provides thorough, detailed cleanings that make your refreshed space feel brand new.
