Getting ready for the Diwali party requires more than just preparation. You need to make sure that you declutter your home from the unnecessary things that are taking up space.
But, cleaning up can often feel overwhelming, especially if you do not follow a strict plan.
To help you achieve the cleaning task for your diwali celebrations, we have brought you 4 easy ways to declutter your home.
1. Divide your clutter into categories
When you start to clean up, the look of clutter at unexpected nooks and corners can be very intimidating. To sort this phase out, divide your clutter into different categories such as:
– Rubbish items that cannot be recycled or reused.
– Recyclable items.
– Items that need repair.
– Items you want to donate.
– Items that do not belong where they are kept.
With 4 different bags or bins, you can get your clutter sorted during the first step itself.
2. Unclutter your bathroom
One of the most underrated spaces for clutter in any home is the bathroom. It is common to find old shampoo and detergent bottles lying inside storage units in the bathroom and continue to be overlooked for years.
After categorizing your clutter, the next thing to do is clean your bathroom off of products that you do not use or have not used in ages.
3. Find your donation clothes
Diwali is an auspicious time in India and many families buy new clothes to celebrate festivities with friends and family. With new clothes coming in, it might be a good idea to go through your wardrobe and pick out the clothes that you have not worn in months, or even years.
Honestly ask yourself how likely are you to wear them again?
If you are not using them, you can always donate them to the less fortunate and help them with clothes in the upcoming winters.
4. Clean up your tea tables and nightstands
It is common for tea tables in the dining room and nightstands in the bedroom to have the most amount of junk. These may include books you have finished reading, journals you have stopped using, old newspapers, magazines, and even half-eaten snacks.
Clearing them up and adding some natural décor like planters (for the tea table), can really amplify the positive vibes of your home for Diwali.
