🧺 5 Simple Tips to Start Decluttering Your Home

We all love the look of a fresh, clean home — but clutter can quickly undo that calm, organised feeling. Whether it’s overflowing drawers, ‘junk’ corners, or wardrobes you’re afraid to open, clutter doesn’t just take up space — it takes up headspace too.

At JG Cleaning Group, we believe that a clean home equals a clear mind. So here are 5 simple tips to help you start decluttering — and make your home feel lighter, fresher, and more “you”.

1. 📦 Start Small, Think Big

Decluttering your entire home can feel overwhelming. Start with just one drawer, shelf, or corner. Set a timer for 10–15 minutes and focus only on that area.
Small wins build momentum — and motivation.

Pro tip: Take a photo before and after to visually track your progress — it’s satisfying and keeps you going!

2. 🗂️ The “Keep / Donate / Bin” Rule

As you go through your items, sort them into three categories:

  • Keep (you use it regularly and love it)

  • Donate (someone else could use it more than you)

  • Bin (it's broken, expired, or adds no value)

If you’re unsure, ask yourself: Have I used this in the last year? Would I buy this again today?

3. 👚 Apply the “One In, One Out” Rule

For every new item you bring into your home — especially clothes, gadgets, or decor — try to let go of one.
This simple habit keeps clutter from creeping back in and makes you more intentional with future purchases.

4. 🧼 Clear Surfaces = Clear Mind

Flat surfaces attract clutter like magnets. Choose one room (your kitchen counters or bedside table, for example), and clear every item that doesn’t serve a daily purpose.
You’ll be amazed how much calmer the space feels instantly.

Bonus: when surfaces are clear, cleaning becomes quicker and more enjoyable — and we’re all about that!

5. 🗓️ Book a Clean to Finish It Off

Once you've decluttered, it’s the perfect time to bring in a JG Cleaning Group clean. We’ll:
