How decluttering helps with cleaning
If your floor and surfaces are covered in clutter, you will have to move it every time you want to clean your home. This can be time-consuming and difficult, particularly if you need to shift around heavy objects.
If you don’t want to get to the surface underneath them, you might be missing dust and dirt. Not only is cleaning easier with less stuff in your way, you can more thoroughly clean your property, too.
Possessions also attract dust, and collect dirt and debris. The more stuff you have, the more you will need to clean. Your possessions can make the surfaces they sit on unclean, as well, so you have to clean more and for longer.

Invest in storage solutions
