Tackling space organisation isn’t exactly a walk in the park, especially when life keeps us on our toes. But fear not, because there are some savvy tips that, if we stick to them, will keep our our living space in tip-top shape.
Allyson Cartwright, a pro in the art of space organisation, has been diving into this topic for ages. She’s got the lowdown on what items we need to bid adieu to ASAP to maintain a tidy space, even in those hidden nooks and crannies.
Space organisation tips
Now, she may use the term “throw away,” but don’t worry, she’s not advocating for a trash bonanza. It’s all about recycling or donating stuff if it’s still in good nick. So, what’s on the chopping block for our personal space organisation?
Empty gadget boxes
Let’s face it, that phone or tablet box is never making a comeback. Hang onto any important documents like warranties, then recycle those boxes. No need to clutter up drawers with stuff we’ll never use again.
Old bills
We’ve all got that stash of ancient bills, right? Well, it’s time to let them go. A document shredder will make recycling those old papers a breeze.
Metal hangers
Metal hangers are great for transporting clothes, but they’re not built for long-term closet residency. Plus, they tend to bend out of shape faster than you can say “organize.”
Plastic dry cleaner bags
Those plastic garment bags from the dry cleaner might seem like they’re keeping our clothes pristine, but they could be doing more harm than good. Cartwright suggests giving them the boot to prevent any colour fading.
Old socks and undies
Mismatched socks and worn-out undies have got to go. It’s pointless to hold on to them once they’re no longer in their prime. Besides, it’s always a good idea to refresh our underwear drawer regularly, so we should toss out any damaged goods without hesitation.
