Welcome to day 22 of our month-long cleaning challenge! Today's task is to tackle that one area in our homes that always seems to collect clutter. Start by clearing out anything that doesn't belong there, creating two piles for items to throw out or donate and things that need a new home. Once the space is cleared, consider storage solutions or bins to help with organization. Don't forget to give the area a deep clean, and think about ways to prevent it from becoming a catch-all spot in the future, such as creating a "landing zone" near your entrance. Remember, a clutter-free home leads to a happier living environment. Keep up the great work on this challenge!

This week, we're focusing on the bedroom, our sanctuary for rest and relaxation. Dust off your nightstands, wipe down your doors and walls, and tackle those pesky cobwebs. Don't forget to give your bedding a good wash to eliminate bed bugs and dust mites, and flip or rotate your mattress. Clean your windows, blinds, curtains, and furniture, and consider shampooing your carpets. You've made it to the last stretch, so enjoy a clean and cozy bedroom—you've earned it!

Having an organized closet is crucial to an efficient and stress-free laundry routine, and it all begins with decluttering, cleaning, and organizing. Always involve the people who own the clothes in this process, and don't forget the often-neglected areas of your closet. Declutter the clothes you don't wear and store those which are out of season or don't fit you currently. Finally, organize everything systematically, which can be accomplished with hangers, organizers, and storage containers. By following these tips, you will have an organized and clutter-free closet in no time!

In this blog post, we learn how to declutter and organize our home offices. The first step is to set aside dedicated time, at least one to two hours, to focus on the task. Then, we start with a clean slate by removing everything from our desk, shelves, and drawers. This allows us to sort and categorize our items effectively. We should organize our supplies into three categories - keep, recycle, and donate. Once sorted, we can invest in stylish storage and organizers to keep everything in its place. Finally, to maintain the organization long-term, we should spend a few minutes each day reorganizing our office. By following these steps, our home office space will be clean, inspiring, and efficient.

In this blog post, we explore the importance of creating a welcoming space for houseguests, even if you don't have a dedicated guest room. Begin by ensuring the sleeping area is clean and comfortable, whether it's a guestroom or an air mattress or couch. Provide extra pillows, blankets, and offer additional comforts such as a sleeping mask or earplugs. Next, clean and stock the bathroom your guests will be using with fresh towels and toiletries. In the communal areas, create a warm atmosphere with candles or diffusing Young Living essential oils, and make sure there is comfortable seating available. Lastly, communicate with your guests beforehand to inform them of sleeping arrangements, amenities, and any house rules. By taking these steps, you can make your guests feel at home and provide them with a memorable and comfortable experience in your home.
