Over time, items tend to accumulate in the home .
We keep them for their sentimental value.
Like travel souvenirs and gifts from a loved one, for example.
But, there is also all the useless stuff that we keep for no good reason ! Which ones do you see?
These are the objects for which we say:"ç a may be useful one day! " or "it a doesn't take up much space ".
The problem is that over time, all these useless objects pile up...
As a result, our drawers, cupboards and cupboards are transformed into real bric-a-brac.
Help ! Fortunately, the chaos ends now .
Yes, the time has come to sort through all the useless objects cluttering your home!
Here are 30 things your house doesn't really need . Watch:
1. The agonizing collection of plastic bags under the sink.
2. Small jars of bland and outdated spices.
3. Mismatched or uncovered food boxes that take up a lot of your cupboards. Instead, replace them with these food boxes that stack easily.
4. Chipped cups, glasses and plates. Frankly, what's the point of keeping them?
5. All the knives you never use. Indeed, know that it only takes 3 good knives to cook.
6. Pods of soy sauce, ketchup and single-use utensils (chopsticks, paper napkins and plastic straws from your last Deliveroo order).
7. The old reusable mugs and cups from team building 2004 (you know, the ones you inherited from your old roommate).
8. "Specialized" cleaners. In fact, you can clean everything with just 1 homemade multi-purpose product.
9. The tote bags that you have too much. Even if you received them for free, don't keep more than 2 or 3 for shopping.
10. Stemmed glasses (classic glasses work great for drinking water, juice and wine).
Bonus:
- Foods from the freezer. If you see ice forming on food in your freezer, it's time to throw it out.
11. The dry cleaner's collection of metal hangers. Keep only the best hangers to hang your clothes and get rid of those that are not used.
12. Worn sheets. Get rid of flat sheets too, unless you really like that and you have time to waste? Otherwise, keep only the essentials:your fitted sheets and duvet covers. For the rest, know that there are plenty of ways to reuse your old bed sheets.
13. Old shoe boxes and the protective covers that come with them. There are tons of tips for storing your shoes.
14. All the books you've been reading for a long time. Donate them to an association, or give them to a friend who loves literature.
15. Clothes that are too worn or that no longer fit you. Sort through your clothes, and donate those you no longer wear to an association.
Bonus:
- Mismatched socks. Either say goodbye to them or give them a second life.
- Jewelry you never wear. If you no longer wear a piece of jewelry, it means it's time to part with it! With a bit of luck, you can even sell it in a specialty store.
16. The small samples of shampoo and shower gel you took from hotel rooms.
17. Frayed or rock-hard towels that will never regain their absorbency.
18. That ugly plastic shower shelf! Instead, replace it with a stylish teak stool, or this beautiful bathtub bridge.
19. Expired medicine, sunscreen and make-up. Yes, all these products also have their expiration date.
Bonus:
- The perfumes you never wear. Instead of wasting them, get rid of them or give them to someone who really wants them.
20. Dead plants that you failed to salvage and old empty flower pots.
21. DVDs you no longer watch. Donate them to an association or give them to friends.
22. Kitschy or tacky vases that come free with flower bouquets.
23. Trophies or other childhood trinkets that have no sentimental value to you.
24. The dead batteries that have been hanging around in your desk drawers for a long time.
25. The flyers that invade your mailbox. If you don't read these advertisements, put a STOP PUB sticker on your mailbox.
26. Old magazines you haven't read in years.
27. Cash receipts. Most stores no longer accept returns or exchanges after a certain period of time. So what's the point of keeping them? Nothing!
28. Old cables and chargers from devices you don't use, and also devices without a charger.
29. The half-empty paint cans. Or else, reuse them to give a trendy look to your furniture.
30. Big, bulky filing cabinets filled with old papers. Instead, scan your most important documents, or keep them in hard copy in transparent sleeves. For the rest, read our guide on how long to keep your important papers.
Bonus:
- Dried up markers &pens. Try this trick to revive dried out markers. Otherwise, why keep them?
