Do the Five-Minute Room Rescue
close [x]
It's really important to get rid of clutter if you want a clean house! But you don't have to spend hours on decluttering! Just set a timer for five minutes, grab three boxes—one giveaway box, one put-away box and one throwaway box—and head into your worst room. Then toss all the clutter into the appropriate boxes. Only keep what you absolutely love and toss the rest into the throwaway or giveaway piles. Then put away the box contents you're keeping and haul the rest of the stuff to the trash or a charity. And psst ... getting it into the box doesn't count, you have to finish the task!
And now for your chance to WIN an awesome bundle of Scrubbing Bubbles® cleaning products and a $250 American Express gift card, tell us: Do you collect clutter or are you good at throwing things out?

I am great at throwing things out but my kids are pack rats....I have to throw things away when they aren't home and I still feel bad about it but they keep every single piece of paper....it is crazy.

My motto is if you pick up as you go, you won't have to spend lots of time (a whole day or so) later just working on picking up things :)

I like to stay organized and throw things into the recycle bin right away.
