Tidy Your Home in 30 Minutes or Less

If you only have 30 minutes to make a dent in a large-scale mess, you need to have a strategy.

According to Joanna Wirick of Joanna Organize, simplifying your decluttering process can be as easy as following the "five things" method. This straightforward approach divides your space into five categories: trash, dishes, things with a place, and things without a place.

By tackling each category individually, you'll find decluttering much less overwhelming.

Paper products can quickly make a room look messy. Fortunately, they're easy to manage.

Here's a simple trick:

1. Set a timer for 15 minutes.
2. Walk through your home with a grocery bag.
3. Collect and recycle any paper.

For papers you need to keep designate a specific area in your house. You can use corkboards, filing cabinets, or a mix of storage to organize and make important paperwork easy to find.

By following these steps, you'll be able to keep your home clutter-free and organized.

Even the cleanest home can look messy with an untidy sofa or wrinkled rug. A quick reset can make a big difference.

Here's what you can do in just a few minutes to make your room look fresh:

1. Fluff your pillows.
2. Fold throw blankets neatly.
3. Put remotes back in their place.

Toys can quickly clutter your home.

A 30-minute cleaning session can make a big difference. Instead of simply tossing toys into a box, try organizing them by color. This will make your storage look neater and more visually appealing. If you prefer a less cluttered look, consider using non-see-through storage containers like wicker or seagrass baskets.

Taming toy chaos is an easy way to tidy up your home.

Kitchen countertops can easily become cluttered.

Start by putting away appliances you don't use daily, like air fryers or standing mixers. Also, tuck away spices and condiments to reduce visual clutter. If you need easy access to vinegar or oils, consider using bins or Lazy Susans.

A quick cleaning session can make a big difference.

Group cleaning items for specific rooms together in bins.

A professional organizer, Meg Markland, recommends storing cleaning products in lightweight bins. This makes it easier to grab what you need and start cleaning. You can also use this method for other niches like vacuum attachments, plant care, or garden supplies.

The goal of this is to streamline your cleaning processes.
