Share Your Quick Clean-up Success!

Make sure to add this project to your agenda and share it with someone who would enjoy it! Whether it's a family member who loves organization or a friend needing inspiration, spreading the joy of a tidy space goes a long way!

Select Your Target Area

Start small by choosing a space that can be cleaned quickly, like a nightstand, a single drawer, or a small counter area. Avoid overwhelming yourself with large or multiple areas. This focus on one small task ensures success and motivates future efforts.

Set a Timer

Set a timer for 15 minutes. This time frame ensures that you stay focused and work efficiently, transforming the task into a manageable project. You'll be surprised how much you can achieve in a short, dedicated burst of energy.

Gather Supplies

  • Microfiber cloth
  • Surface cleaner
  • Trash bag
  • Organizational containers, if needed

Having all your supplies on hand will keep the cleaning process seamless and prevent unnecessary interruptions.

Clear and Clean

Remove all items from the space and place them elsewhere temporarily. Wipe down surfaces with your cleaning spray and microfiber cloth, ensuring you get rid of dust and grime.

Sort and Declutter

Quickly categorize the items into keep, toss, and donate piles. Be decisive to maintain momentum and make sure each item deserves its spot in your target area.

Organize and Maintain

Return the 'keep' items to the space in an orderly manner, using containers if necessary to maintain organization. Consider how the organization can be sustained to reduce future clutter.
