A messy apartment can spell disaster, especially if the space you're living in is small. The visual clutter can quickly add up over time, impacting your ability to actually live comfortably in your apartment as well as entertain guests. If clutter has become an issue in your apartment, we’ve got your back with these cleaning tips:

Don’t Be Afraid to Deep Clean

We suggest giving your home a deep clean seasonally to keep up with clutter. To do this successfully, set purge dates for your home throughout the year. Go room by room to assess the mess and donate, toss, or keep what you find. By deep cleaning each room, you can keep things organized and avoid messy pile ups around the home.

Say Goodbye to Paper

It’s the 21st century; paper is officially a thing of the past. If you haven’t already switched from paper billing to electronic, the time is now. Not only will this keep the messy mail mountain away, but it will help you stay organized!

Shop Smarter

The temptation to fall into trends and splurge on anything you find remotely suitable for your apartment can contribute to your clutter collection. Instead of going on a shopping spree, start shopping responsibly. When you spot something you love, think about where it can fit in your apartment and how you can use it. If you don’t have a purpose for it, take a picture of the item and add it to a wish list for later on.
