I’m a cleaning expert, my 30/30 rule will banish clutter from your home, it couldn’t be easier and will save you cash

Overflowing Closets: Clothes with the tags still on, fast fashion purchased for a single event, or seasonal items barely worn. Next time, instead of impulse-buying another jumper, use the waiting period to evaluate if you truly need it, and look through your wardrobe to see if you have something similar. If you do decide to purchase the item, you can adopt a one in, one out policy to prevent overspill. 

Electronics Doom Boxes: If you have boxes and draws filled with old gadgets and their accessories collecting dust rather than being used, you’re not alone. Many of us are unsure what to do with old phones, cameras and laptops and end up hoarding them. You might want to think about pausing purchasing more electronics until you have wiped and sold your old unused ones. 

Unused Décor: Items bought to be displayed but instead stored away in boxes or hidden from view are ultimately just wasted purchases. Any home décor accumulating in drawers or at the back of closets is a clear sign of previous overconsumption. 

Full Kitchen Counters: If your counters are taken up by trendy air fryers, sandwich presses, or smoothie makers that you never actually use, it means you have less space to use your kitchen for its intended purpose, cooking! The 30/30 rule could stop you from impulsively buying whatever the next viral kitchen gadget without thinking.

Children’s Rooms and Playrooms: We all want to treat our children. However, too many toys can be overwhelming and overstimulating for young children, leaving them without space to play with the toys they actually enjoy. You can teach good habits early on by helping them declutter by donating toys they have outgrown or no longer play with. In future, plan to treat your kids to days out and experiences rather than mountains of toys.
