Moving Soon? Start Fresh by Decluttering First

A new home is the perfect time for a fresh start – and that includes letting go of what no longer serves you. Here’s a quick cheat sheet to help you streamline before the big move:

👟 Shoes
Ditch anything uncomfortable, out of style, or damaged.

🧦 Worn-Out Basics
Toss stretched-out camis, pilled sweaters, and holey socks or underwear.

🔁 Unnecessary Duplicates
Do you really need three pizza cutters? Keep one, donate the rest—especially in categories like kitchen tools or small appliances.

🥫 Expired Pantry Goods & Toiletries
Don’t pack expired spices or stale snacks. Do a pantry sweep and bring only what you use.

🛏 Towels & Linens Past Their Prime
Edit your linen closet. Say goodbye to torn towels or mismatched sheets.

🔌 Outdated Tech & Cords
Toss that tangled mess of old chargers and remotes. Keep only what’s current and useful.

🎨 Unfinished Projects & Hobbies
Haven’t touched it in a year? Let it go. Move guilt-free.

🗃 Cheap Storage Bins
Flimsy, mismatched bins add clutter. Invest in better systems post-move.

🪑 Ill-Fitting Furniture
If it doesn’t fit your space or style, don’t pay to move it. Smaller, flexible pieces are more worth the trouble.

🧸 Things You’ve Outgrown
Donate baby gear, old toys, or dress-up clothes your family no longer uses.

🧩 Anything Broken
If it’s missing parts or doesn’t work—toss it. Only useful things deserve a spot in your new home.

Start your next chapter lighter, more organized, and with room to grow.
