Grab a bin. Or a laundry basket. Or a box. Something easy to hold and deep, that will fill plenty.
Going clockwise around the room, pick up everything that doesn't belong and throw it in the bin. This works great for toys, but clothing can get tossed in there, as well as makeup, jewelry, and anything that simply doesn't go there.
This will eliminate 90% of the work of DeCluttering Your Closet, and take few minutes, tops. Stash the bin in a closet for emergencies, family 'get togethers, or spend about 5 minutes putting things where they need to be in that room.
The toys that go in that room, put back in the toy chest. The jewelry gets put in the jewelry box. Leave the dirty laundry in the bin.
Are there things from other rooms in there? Great. Take the bin and go to those rooms, and put things back. Make your end stop by the laundry, and dump the rest of the clothing in the washing machine. Simple, easy, and hassle free.
If your child happens to be a teenager, or rambunctious boy, the room probably smells freshly of dirt, sweat, and dirty laundry. It happens.
To remedy this, take a dryer |
