Clearing Christmas Clutter

  3. Clearing Christmas Clutter

Christmas is over and your house may have that same over-stuffed feeling that you had after eating a big holiday meal. It’s time to give your space a clutter diet. Here’s the recipe:

Clean Up: Get gifts out of boxes. Break them down, making sure nothing ‘gifty’ is remaining. Put items away where they belong and take a hard look at the space they are being added to.

Pare Down: Use the 1 In 2 Out Rule. For every new toy or trinket, remove two! This is the best way to really reduce what you have.

Donate: Let the things you no longer need get into the hands of someone who does. Check out our list of Where to Donate Stuff.

Call Chaos To Order: Your expert organizer from Chaos To Order is here to help with any and all of the steps along the way on your clutter diet! Schedule an appointment now.
