"The new year brings a fresh start, and decluttering your home is a great way to reset. This is easier said than done, but knowing where to focus your attention makes the tedious and time-consuming process more manageable. That's why Business Insider asked two professional organizers what people should get rid of in their homes. Here's what they said. It's a good idea to toss old clothing that's not being worn."
"The end of the year is also a good time to purge the clothing that's taking up space in the closet. This can be especially important if you have growing kids. "For families with kids, clothing that kids have outgrown from previous seasons, such as summer clothes and back-to-school outfits, is good to declutter," Wahl told BI. She added that if you want to keep clothing for another child, doing so in an organized way is essential."
"They said the end of the year is a good time to get rid of old toys, clothes, and electronics. They also suggest sorting through holiday decorations before putting them away for the year. Let go of old sports equipment you're no longer using. Sports equipment can easily accumulate in basements and garages, especially when people hope to return to a once-loved hobby. However, Wahl said it's best to purge these items that are taking up extra space."
The new year provides an opportunity to reset the home through targeted decluttering. Focusing on specific categories makes the process more manageable. Discard old toys, unused electronics, and clothing that no longer fits or is not being worn. For families with children, remove outgrown seasonal clothes and school outfits; if keeping items for another child, store them in an organized way. Sort and pare down holiday decorations before putting them away to avoid storing excess. Clear basements and garages of unused sports equipment that accumulates when hobbies are abandoned.
