My house continues to repeatedly turn into a chaotic mess!! So YESSSS MAKE MORE DECLUTTERING VIDEO'S!!! I'm especially interrested in tips on how to build a decluttering routine for the whole house
Definitely more decluttering videos! I've been a pack rat since i was a kid! I've gotten better, but the clutter totally makes keeping a house more difficult. I love your channel!
Thanks for the Video clip! Sorry for chiming in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you ever tried - Mahorrla Control Clutter Method (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for decluttering your home minus the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my good mate called Gray finally got cool results with it.
Great Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you researched - Mahorrla Control Clutter Method (probably on Google)? It is an awesome exclusive guide for decluttering your home minus the normal expense. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my mate got excellent results with it
I'm not sure but ,if anyone else wants to discover declutter my life try Skyarza Declutter Expert Star (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my friend got cool success with it.
Half of cleaning is tidying and organizing and frankly, it's a lot harder to clean a space when it's cluttered and disorganized. So this week I'm going to give you 5 great ways to cut the clutter!
Hey Melissa, I love your videos. I'd love to see some videos on the Konmari method of decluttering! I have been working my way through it for a month or 2 and it has literally changed my life!
I wouldn't mind seeing this either because I do NOT like her method! Especially when it comes to books. I think she is ridiculous!! I am sure Melissa that you can come up with a medium/reasonable path that does not require those of us who actually read books to get rid of them. Although technically I can say they all bring me joy. :)
+Mary Gillmarten if they all bring you joy then you are allowed to keep every single one! There are no rules except to keep things that bring you joy or make your life easier.
+Mary Gillmarten ... Occasionally there are magazines with only one or two articles you are interested in and the rest is not important. So for those times, take what you need and don't keep what's not important. That's the whole point of decluttering. It's not about getting rid of an ENTIRE book that you love. I'm sure Melissa didn't imply that.
I've thought of doing this but haven't got around to doing it yet... Should start doing it, my PC content is much more orderly than my home, I'm sure I will find everything much more easily (whereas, papers and magazines I keep are almost impossible for me to find aftwerwards).
Kudos for the Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you considered - Mahorrla Control Clutter Method (should be on google have a look)? It is a great exclusive guide for decluttering your home minus the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate after many years got amazing results with it.
Clutter for me happens essentially when I am super busy and stressed (as I've already done the first big declutter... it still comes back from time to time), so it's those moments that I find it really overwhelming to de-clutter. But I found a tip online that's helped me so much! When you don't have time for the "big de-clutter", do the "little at time de-clutter", i.e. when you go from one room to the other and you know certain items belong in the other, take those items (no more than 5!) and put them in their proper place when you get to the other room. That way it's a multitask sort of de-cluttering and takes only about a minute extra. It's definitely saved me from feeling overwhelmed on those stressful days, so it's probably my biggest tip for de-cluttering 'cus I know I'm not alone in this.
Hi Melissa! I appreciate your smile, positive videos and enthusiasm! Motivation on decluttering is why I turn to you! I have filled my home up for 30 years with new crafts, towels, sheets, collections and more! I also have the items that have been precious to my Mother ! At 92 strong all of her items are precious to me! I am working with your suggestions with all of these items! I now have a family "joke" going on that all of these items are Family Heirlooms! I say to my two daughters, daughter-in-law, son, two son-in-laws, 5 grandchildren! I start with " I have something special for you" and one son-in law says in his funny voice " I have saved this for 30 years for you". Everyone laughs so much! I wanted to suggest a video for you, a way to save/store/give away Family heirlooms!
Kudos for the Video clip! Apologies for butting in, I would love your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Mahorrla Control Clutter Method (do a google search)? It is a great one off guide for decluttering your home minus the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my old buddy Taylor finally got astronomical results with it.
I have just begun going through stuff again that came to my house when we moved my dad in. My parents have been married for 75 years and all THEIR memorabilia is now in MY HOUSE. I appreciate the videos that actually show me the kinds of things others are handling in their decluttering process. It validates some of the decisions I am making. So, thanks!!
Help with decluttering my brick-a-brack and knick-knacks. I have some pretty nice, antiquey pieces with lotsa memories to them, sooooo chucking them hurts, especially when I enjoy seeing m-o-s-t of them. Yes, please, bring on these decluttering videos. They are inspiring! THANK YOU
Yes, more decluttering videos, please.😀 Question: Have you ever thought about using a microfiber mop on walls or cabinets for us short people or even the more "mature" people who might have health conditions such as balance issues or arthritis issues that can prevent climbing a ladder to clean? If you have done a video on this, please let us know. Thank you for this video!!! 😀❤️
You don’t know how much I appreciate you teaching all these house cleaning tips and habits for free. I am 60 years old and retired, I teased myself learning these so late! I think it is hard when I worked. Thank you for your youtube show, and I am going to introduce to my daughter. You are excellent!
Happy Belated Birthday Melissa. I say coo-pon. I use a binder and plastic sleeves for receipes too! Definitely need more de-cluttering videos. Thank you Melissa and Chad. I love your videos!
There are videos such as this one, where I have either heard of the idea or already done it but even if that is the case, I really enjoy hearing what Melissa has to say on a given subject. I also like the different videos Clean My Space comes up with rather than just only "how to clean".
The decluttering videos are helpful.... I would love suggestions for a kids room and playroom. It's soooo hard to get them to give up toys, especially stuffed animals.
For kids that have a lot of toys, when they go for a sleepover at a friends house or something like that you often can get rid of a bunch of old toys and they'll never even notice. That is what my friend does with her son, granted he's 3 and doesn't keep track of all his toys. So this may not work for an older child. ^__^v Older kids, sometimes you can convince them to get rid of x amount of toys to get 1 new special toy or movie/ice cream/zoo/ect... Hope I helped! Now, I'd love to see a video about this too!! She always comes up with great methods! Gonna do the hanger idea now actually!!
When I was 4 I just can't throw stuff away, I'm 12 now and gave a lot of my stuffed animals to the daughter of a friend! I'm happy she's happy with it! ( please tell me my grammar mistakes I'm not English but Dutch and just 12)
My friend puts toys in a box, and puts it in the garage, dated, and if no one has asked for anything in the box within a certain number of months, it goes to the charity shop.
YES YES YES PLZ for more declutter videos. Jewelry and such accessories - next video. The off the shelf organizerd are useless. Thank you guys! Belated Happy Birthday Melissa.
6/16/19.....I had decided this weekend would be PAPER DECLUTTER time.....So went thru older/saved newspaper sections yesterday (Sat). Today is coupons/3 address books from the last 40 yrs/cut out mag & newspaper articles/old bank statements/business letters/ scraps of paper/business cards/Christmas & birthday cards/recipes. MOST will go into recycle bin but a few will end up in shredding pile. It's 10:30am & I have a fresh cup of coffee + timer set for 45 min.... then 15 min break....then another 45 min of declutter & so goes this Sun. Wish me good luck!
What a surprise, we recently remodeled our bathroom and I picked the same white tile for my shower that you have in your kitchen. Do you love it? I do! I love the way it sparkles and I find it easy to keep clean.
More decluttering videos, PLEEEEEASE!! I'm trying to do a little bit every day but I feel like that guy rolling the stone uphill. I have a one-in-two-out rule with clothes, so I am making some progress there but I still have way too much of everything. Any declutter video will help me. I'm drowning in the stuff.
4:21 Coupon should sound like soup, group, troupe, and coupe (or coupé), not cupid. Both versions, kü- and kyü-, are acceptable, but the first version is more prevalent.
Yes Yes Yes to more decluttering videos! Decluttering is the first step to cleaning or organizing, in our consumerist culture, we all, and I mean all need to get rid of tons of stuff that accumulates, before we can even begin to organize anything. People get decluttering and organizing confused. People get organizing and cleaning confused. SO yes, please do more decluttering videos. We all need to learn and to be reminded that it's a healthy habit to declutter on a regular basis!
your channel is awesome! I've had people try to help me organize.. Never could get the hang of it. Your videos are awesome!!! I've declutteered and my place is so much easier to manage and keep clean! Thank you!
Happy belated birthday! I'm all for more decluttering videos! Maybe some tips on how to keep bookshelves clutter free? (I'm a book lover and don't believ in the concept of ownin too many books, but the clutter is real!). And maybe tips on a clutter free move, meaning how to make sure you don't move the clutter along with the items you really want and need?
We've got a local book circle, we pass books around each other as were done with them and pop our initials on the inner cover so we know who's had n who's not. Once they're done and if no one wants to keep it they go to a charity store (usually where we get them too) but it means you get to read stuff you wouldn't pick up and it only costs a little if you add another in, which if you have a collection you don't mind letting fly for a while will barely cost anything for a long time.
I know for me when I have to move one apt. to another I start everything a month in advance maybe 2 months go room by room get rid of stuff, sell or plan just give away or donate unused items or items that are bad condition.This has helped me tremendously with my moving experience last year.
I bought your Clean My Space book. So thorough! After folding my clothes the KonMari method (with a few tweeks for my bigger cube baskets), doing the Spark Joy! categories, organizing with A-Z Storage Solutions, all I have left to do is to figure out how to put wall cabinets on my bedroom wall so I can place my big D-ring fitness notebooks there (above my desk). I need to buy my daughter the Clean My Space book also since it has short and long versions of touchups and charts in the back. Thanks for your simple organic cleaning recipes; I needed those. My daughter has homemade recipes for almost everything.
Koo-pon. Nice tips on cycling things out of a bin or way of hanging for figuring out what you use. Your home looks very nice! I need to declutter inherited items, and would love to see more decluttering videos.
Uggg I been there I secretly threw away few things she didn't know I got rid of. Eventually she relized it was gone she asked if knew what happened I was like Im not sure what happened.
This was great, thanks, been searching for "get rid clutter control tips" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Vanonnor Tenhloe Equalizer - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my mate got great success with it.
Please make a video where you are actually decluttering a space, even if you have to go to someones house. We already know everything you are saying. Watching it would be more helpful. :0)
I loved the tips you gave about the closset decluttering, the problem I have is there are some things i just cant part with! The tip about clipping recipes and putting them in a binder, that i'm definetly going to adopt! Thanks!
I have papers and books and folders from my recent college endeavor. What do I keep? What do I toss. I tried to pare it down to reference type items, but oy vey! So much stuff!
Yes!! Do more de cluttering vids! Very encouraging and motivating, going to kitchen NOW TO work on a drawer . I need help with hubs sock/ undie/ tshirt drawers, he does not want to get rid of any till there are completely falling apart.
Every time I go to the nail or hair salon, I bring my old magazines. The owners appreciate it and so do the customers. I always use permanent marker to black out my address, for safety reasons.
These are great Mel! I usually put things into a box, when it is full I close and write the date on the box, then I put the box in storage if I have not opened that box in months or a year I simply throw out the box. NOTE do not open the box or go through it, cause you will find reasons to keep it. Just throw it out still closed. I am going to try the hanger trick right now ... bye and thanks.
Melissa I wish you helped me lol. I have some school things, I did throw away a lot of stuff recently, but I recently decided that I don't want to become the major that I studied at college anymore, but I feel like my mind might change in the future. So should I save those old textbooks and notes? Help! Lol. And I've been dieting since March and lost weight, but I do have some clothing that I am not sure if I want to keep or throw out cause I will fit into them soon. Should I still keep it just incase?
And Yes to more Decluttering videos please!! Bathroom version, maybe even a cleaning out your garage? If people are interested in that? :) thank you as always Melissa and Chad!!!
I used to keep my old textbooks and notes in the basement, and love looking into them once in a while. And don't underestimate their value, maybe you'll have a kid/nephew/poor child that would find them useful when studying too
I've seen that trick with putting your clothes hangers backwards and replacing them forwards as you wear an item. But what can you do about the clothes in drawers?
Fold your clothes inside out. When you wash them, put them in the drawers right side out. At the end of the season, the still inside out items get donated.
I fold my clothes vertically (filing method) and always put my washed clothes at the front. The least worn clothes end up at the back and can be passed on.
Inspirational and helpful! Do you have a video on decluttering when preparing to move? After raising a family for nearly 15 years we have been decluttering and prepping to get the house ready for two years! And I still look around and wonder when we are going to be ready.
Yes to more declutter videos!! I am trying to work thru an entire house of semi-hoarding and too many of one type of item (if that makes sense) like 12 jackets, all good quality but would like help paring down and only having a couple. I get overwhelmed and give up :( Thank you for all the very useful information! I have recently discovered your channel and have subscribed.
This is glorious, I've been looking for "reducing clutter in your home" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Vanonnor Tenhloe Equalizer - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my neighbour got cool results with it.
Nice video content! Forgive me for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you ever tried - Mahorrla Control Clutter Method (google it)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for decluttering your home without the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my buddy after a lifetime of fighting got great results with it.
I like the idea of mail bins and the kitchen drawer.ugh....I have had such a hard time decluttering these things. And its ku-pons. thanks for this wonderful video. i love watching your video
I was going to ask the same thing and add that ALWAYS remember for brunettes, eyebrows are 2 shades LIGHTER than hair color, NOT the same or darker than hair color!!
+(Jen) for some people it doesn't look good or they have naturally dark eyebrows that are darker or the same color as their hair. I have eyebrows that are darker than my hair so filling them in a lighter color doesn't match
I am a new "Clean My Space" follower, and I must say that I love your videos. I binge-watch them.... Yep. It really helps my family stay straight to follow your tips (there are 7 of us). I love your homemade cleaning products! I recently made my own laundry and dishwashing detergent, they make me happy! Cleaning with natural ingredients really gives me peace of mind that I'm not positing my children.
Perfect timing on this video. We are about to have a good purge of the house. Would love videos on decluttering kids rooms and play rooms as we always watch one of your videos with the kids so they can see what we want to do when we are about to start a cleaning project. Love love love your channel
I have a huge clutter issue, so I am watching these cleaning video's every morning when I get up to sort of build up my mental muscle for actually starting to clean. I'm sure many other people have this same issue, and it's defiantly holding me back from inviting my friends and family over to my house, and I really want to show off the new kitchen remodel, but won't because I am embarrassed about the disorganization and clutter. I know what I would think if I went over to their house and it looked like mine, so this is particularly important to me. Thanks, I would like to see more videos on focusing on the benefits of decluttering like being able to finaly have that BBQ i've been want to have.
Ack, no to "Q" pons! Ain't no Q up in there! COO-pons! I need help decluttering all of the things. With regards to ad mail, we've implemented a system of keeping a small recycling bin near the mailbox. I sort through the mail and discard unwanted paper outside, so it never makes its way inside!
When your husband goes to work , smash a back window THEN . just throw it all the stuff away or whatever and when your husband comes home just say we've been burgled 😏😏 😁😁
Love decluttering videos! Makes people feel so inspire to change their own spaces and also brings hope that you can one day finally organize your own home.
I'm struggling to declutter my 6yr old's "toy area" half of my livingroom 😒 lol she has bookcases, bins and draws but nothing actually lives where it's meant to, oh and her soft toy/teddy obsession is becoming ridiculous ☺️💟xx
I heard a tip: don't have more than you want to pick up all at once. I like that. Otherwise, try putting half of it in bins and swapping it once a month.
this video was awesome and helpful! I have a couple of toddlers and when it comes to decluttering, the house is full of tons of small objects on the floor and the surfaces, and I don't have enough time to sort and put them away every day
Social media would be a happier place without the negative remarks towards eachother's makeup and personal assets. I think she looks gorgeous now and also back in the day, I love dark brows, I love her cleaning tips and I love positivity, I'm sure anyone does. If you want to give advice about serious things (which doesn't include make up), do it personally and not in public, and do it with kindness and soft words. Lastly, make-up is all about personal preferences, if you see something you don't like, that's fine, if other people say you for yourself wear too little or too much make-up, don't listen to them, do what makes you happy, because that's all that matters. I follow many channels and I just don't understand why this is happening everywhere. More love, less hate, let a girl live :)
You really had some good ideas. You're very easy to relate to. Why would anyone give you a thumbs down? You no doubt possess many fine attributes, but you're especially good at cleaning up a mess, decluttering and organizing. We should send you to Washington. How good are you with swamps?
I love your videos. I have to watch them before I start cleaning it gives me a ton of motivation! Ive just started to make my own cleaning products because of your videos!
+Amanda McCain You're in luck because we just released our Car Cleaning Video! Watch it at this link and let us know what you think! bit.ly/CarCleaningVideo
Yes please! More decluttering. What we need most decluttering help is probably garage. With 4 kids we have many hand-me-downs that we just can't get rid of, boxes of half-saved things, things we want to donate but can't - the goodwill won't take (for example a recliner?) etc. Though we have the mail buildup, the clothes buildup, and books we just can't get rid of too. Also though we do a 'sweep' of our kids toys, there always seems to be more. ;)
Joshua Sabatino - I wasn't bitching about it. I was letting you know what a neckline was. The original commenter wasn't being rude. She just stated the shirt was distracting. She even called her pretty. I doubt Melissa needs you defending her and telling and old lady she's a bitch and to stfu. Grow up!
I really enjoy your videos and YEESS for more decluttering videos please! We live in a space where we don't have enough space for all the items (especially in the kitchen grrr) and I'm having such a hard time keeping the house tidy with all this mess
Q-PON or COOPON ? You only have to look at the origin of the word. For any non-American, your Q-PON pronunciation would be incorrect and sounds distinctly wierd. Since it comes from the French '"couper" meaning to cut, it's correct pronunciation is 'coopon' (as you write it). Sorry for the pedantry !
Your videos are great! It also helps motivate me to clean and know what to do. I need more declutter ideas for art supplies and bathroom small one ideas.
Should we make more decluttering videos?
Yesssss
Yes please do
Yes
Yes .3.
Full car cleaning video...
My house continues to repeatedly turn into a chaotic mess!! So YESSSS MAKE MORE DECLUTTERING VIDEO'S!!! I'm especially interrested in tips on how to build a decluttering routine for the whole house

Half of cleaning is tidying and organizing and frankly, it's a lot harder to clean a space when it's cluttered and disorganized. So this week I'm going to give you 5 great ways to cut the clutter!

+Mary Gillmarten if they all bring you joy then you are allowed to keep every single one! There are no rules except to keep things that bring you joy or make your life easier.
+Rachel you are completely right! Keep anything that makes you absolutely happy and makes you creative!!
+Mary Gillmarten ... Occasionally there are magazines with only one or two articles you are interested in and the rest is not important. So for those times, take what you need and don't keep what's not important. That's the whole point of decluttering. It's not about getting rid of an ENTIRE book that you love. I'm sure Melissa didn't imply that.
OKAY that binder idea for magazine pages is so brilliant. I need to start doing that.
Me too! It's hard for me to get rid of magazines, I don't know why lol.
Same here. As soon as I get my hands on a binder, I will definitely do this. Good bye magazines : )
I have a scanner on my phone so I scan and create files on my PC. Less paper.
I've thought of doing this but haven't got around to doing it yet... Should start doing it, my PC content is much more orderly than my home, I'm sure I will find everything much more easily (whereas, papers and magazines I keep are almost impossible for me to find aftwerwards).

I appreciate the videos that actually show me the kinds of things others are handling in their decluttering process. It validates some of the decisions I am making. So, thanks!!
My whole house needs de-cluttered and I'm going to do so after work & lunch this afternoon and try to keep the momentum going all weekend.

I soooooo need to declutering my closet. Thanks for sharing!
More decluttering videos? YESSS! Thanks so much for these ideas.

Today is coupons/3 address books from the last 40 yrs/cut out mag & newspaper articles/old bank statements/business letters/
scraps of paper/business cards/Christmas & birthday cards/recipes.
MOST will go into recycle bin but a few will end up in shredding pile.
It's 10:30am & I have a fresh cup of coffee + timer set for 45 min....
then 15 min break....then another 45 min of declutter & so goes this Sun.

"Sorry about the mess but we live here" that is the greatest sign you have xD
What a surprise, we recently remodeled our bathroom and I picked the same white tile for my shower that you have in your kitchen. Do you love it? I do! I love the way it sparkles and I find it easy to keep clean.
More decluttering videos, PLEEEEEASE!! I'm trying to do a little bit every day but I feel like that guy rolling the stone uphill. I have a one-in-two-out rule with clothes, so I am making some progress there but I still have way too much of everything. Any declutter video will help me. I'm drowning in the stuff.
Your tips are changing my life! You are very inspiring and I am really enjoying the positive changes - they are now habits!
4:21 Coupon should sound like soup, group, troupe, and coupe (or coupé), not cupid. Both versions, kü- and kyü-, are acceptable, but the first version is more prevalent.
Thanks! Spoken like a linguist!
Yes Yes Yes to more decluttering videos!
Decluttering is the first step to cleaning or organizing, in our consumerist culture, we all, and I mean all need to get rid of tons of stuff that accumulates, before we can even begin to organize anything. People get decluttering and organizing confused. People get organizing and cleaning confused. SO yes, please do more decluttering videos. We all need to learn and to be reminded that it's a healthy habit to declutter on a regular basis!
I say "Q"-pons. My husband makes fun of me all the time! Lol. I love decluttering videos! Keep them coming!
I say q pons too. I just cant say coo pons. Lol. My mouth and brain wont let me
your channel is awesome! I've had people try to help me organize.. Never could get the hang of it. Your videos are awesome!!! I've declutteered and my place is so much easier to manage and keep clean! Thank you!
How to declutter files of paperwork! Also easiest way to sell items online. Great job! Happy Birthday!!!!
This 10000x
Yes. Definitely more decluttering videos please.
Happy belated birthday!
I'm all for more decluttering videos! Maybe some tips on how to keep bookshelves clutter free? (I'm a book lover and don't believ in the concept of ownin too many books, but the clutter is real!). And maybe tips on a clutter free move, meaning how to make sure you don't move the clutter along with the items you really want and need?
Lots of people will be moving in August for school, that's a great idea!
you are a genius!!!! i'm getting ready to move to a very small cottage and i need all the help i can get!!!!
We've got a local book circle, we pass books around each other as were done with them and pop our initials on the inner cover so we know who's had n who's not. Once they're done and if no one wants to keep it they go to a charity store (usually where we get them too) but it means you get to read stuff you wouldn't pick up and it only costs a little if you add another in, which if you have a collection you don't mind letting fly for a while will barely cost anything for a long time.
+Rozanna Park That is a great idea! Thank you for posting it!
I know for me when I have to move one apt. to another I start everything a month in advance maybe 2 months go room by room get rid of stuff, sell or plan just give away or donate unused items or items that are bad condition.This has helped me tremendously with my moving experience last year.
I bought your Clean My Space book. So thorough! After folding my clothes the KonMari method (with a few tweeks for my bigger cube baskets), doing the Spark Joy! categories, organizing with A-Z Storage Solutions, all I have left to do is to figure out how to put wall cabinets on my bedroom wall so I can place my big D-ring fitness notebooks there (above my desk). I need to buy my daughter the Clean My Space book also since it has short and long versions of touchups and charts in the back. Thanks for your simple organic cleaning recipes; I needed those. My daughter has homemade recipes for almost everything.
I like the idea with the two declttering baskets
Koo-pon. Nice tips on cycling things out of a bin or way of hanging for figuring out what you use.
Your home looks very nice!
I need to declutter inherited items, and would love to see more decluttering videos.
What do you need help with decluttering?
My closet🤗
I know you made a video about it already but I followed it and my closet is still a mess so maybe like how to store stuff in your closet😊
Can you show how to de clutter a dresser?
What do you do with the stuff that you declutter? Do you sell them or donate them? How to sell or donate them
toiletries/bathroom/beauty products
Yes please! More decluttering videos! Pantry, bathroom and kids rooms.
easier said then done, when you live with your mom and she doesn't want to get rid of ANYTHING.
So true
So true
My husband never tidies his stuff and won’t let me touch anything...
Uggg I been there I secretly threw away few things she didn't know I got rid of. Eventually she relized it was gone she asked if knew what happened I was like Im not sure what happened.
Time to get your own place?
Yes, more decluttering videos! Are you guys not doing a spring cleaning series this year? It's always one of my favorites that I look forward to.
Where to store the vacuum cleaner ?? Btw, i love ur videos!!
This was great, thanks, been searching for "get rid clutter control tips" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Vanonnor Tenhloe Equalizer - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my mate got great success with it.
Absolutely! I love that you're honest about clutter being damaging to YOUR MIND!!!
Please make a video where you are actually decluttering a space, even if you have to go to someones house. We already know everything you are saying. Watching it would be more helpful. :0)
She just likes talking
Yeah no kidding. What a complete waste of time
I loved the tips you gave about the closset decluttering, the problem I have is there are some things i just cant part with! The tip about clipping recipes and putting them in a binder, that i'm definetly going to adopt! Thanks!
I have papers and books and folders from my recent college endeavor. What do I keep? What do I toss. I tried to pare it down to reference type items, but oy vey! So much stuff!
Yes!! Do more de cluttering vids! Very encouraging and motivating, going to kitchen NOW TO work on a drawer . I need help with hubs sock/ undie/ tshirt drawers, he does not want to get rid of any till there are completely falling apart.
Could you please do decluttering your bedroom that would be so helpful!
Well done. I like how you got to the point at the start of the video. For an 8 minute video there was a lot of good, useful information.
Every time I go to the nail or hair salon, I bring my old magazines. The owners appreciate it and so do the customers. I always use permanent marker to black out my address, for safety reasons.
Oooooh. You’re SO close to 2 million subscribers! Yay! You totally deserve it. You’re the best!
These are great Mel! I usually put things into a box, when it is full I close and write the date on the box, then I put the box in storage if I have not opened that box in months or a year I simply throw out the box. NOTE do not open the box or go through it, cause you will find reasons to keep it. Just throw it out still closed. I am going to try the hanger trick right now ... bye and thanks.
Oh and I say Koopon
I like what you said about having a regularly used strategy for dealing with specific items.
Melissa I wish you helped me lol. I have some school things, I did throw away a lot of stuff recently, but I recently decided that I don't want to become the major that I studied at college anymore, but I feel like my mind might change in the future. So should I save those old textbooks and notes? Help! Lol. And I've been dieting since March and lost weight, but I do have some clothing that I am not sure if I want to keep or throw out cause I will fit into them soon. Should I still keep it just incase?
And Yes to more Decluttering videos please!! Bathroom version, maybe even a cleaning out your garage? If people are interested in that? :) thank you as always Melissa and Chad!!!
I would get rid of most of the notes and textbooks, especially if the info can be found online (hello Wikipedia)
I used to keep my old textbooks and notes in the basement, and love looking into them once in a while. And don't underestimate their value, maybe you'll have a kid/nephew/poor child that would find them useful when studying too
Ana Maria you have to consider if the information will be relevant by that time though.
Sarah Studt Thank you for your help! :) that is true. Ana Maria Thank you for the suggestion :)
Help decluttering bathroom drawers. I enjoy the decluttering videos and they have helped me get 4-13 gallon bags to the Salvation Army. Thank you👍🏻
I've seen that trick with putting your clothes hangers backwards and replacing them forwards as you wear an item. But what can you do about the clothes in drawers?
You can use the same trick she used for decluttering her utensil drawer
Fold your clothes inside out. When you wash them, put them in the drawers right side out. At the end of the season, the still inside out items get donated.
+Kathleen Fair, Ooooo, I LOVE that! I was wondering the same thing!
I fold my clothes vertically (filing method) and always put my washed clothes at the front. The least worn clothes end up at the back and can be passed on.
Inspirational and helpful! Do you have a video on decluttering when preparing to move? After raising a family for nearly 15 years we have been decluttering and prepping to get the house ready for two years! And I still look around and wonder when we are going to be ready.
how do you enjoy cleaning? Any tips?
my adult life is just cleaning 😢😢😢😢😢😢
Yes to more declutter videos!! I am trying to work thru an entire house of semi-hoarding and too many of one type of item (if that makes sense) like 12 jackets, all good quality but would like help paring down and only having a couple. I get overwhelmed and give up :( Thank you for all the very useful information! I have recently discovered your channel and have subscribed.
BEST THING TO DO IS DO NOT BUY THINGS YOU DONT NEED!
This is glorious, I've been looking for "reducing clutter in your home" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Vanonnor Tenhloe Equalizer - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some interesting things about it and my neighbour got cool results with it.
True it helps me to think twice about what Im buying.
Like a shredder
Nice video content! Forgive me for chiming in, I would love your opinion. Have you ever tried - Mahorrla Control Clutter Method (google it)? It is a smashing exclusive guide for decluttering your home without the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my buddy after a lifetime of fighting got great results with it.
My idea of clutter is having too many bins at home.
I like the idea of mail bins and the kitchen drawer.ugh....I have had such a hard time decluttering these things.
And its ku-pons.
thanks for this wonderful video.
i love watching your video
MORE de-cluttering. I say cue-pon. Thanks for doing this. I appreciate it.
thank u melissa..i have diff views in life due to declutfering..more power!! ur such a big help
Unrelated question but where did you get that cute top? :D
Express!!!
I was going to ask the same thing and add that ALWAYS remember for brunettes, eyebrows are 2 shades LIGHTER than hair color, NOT the same or darker than hair color!!
+(Jen) what?
My brows are naturally darker than my natural hair color and I look just fine...
+(Jen) for some people it doesn't look good or they have naturally dark eyebrows that are darker or the same color as their hair. I have eyebrows that are darker than my hair so filling them in a lighter color doesn't match
I am a new "Clean My Space" follower, and I must say that I love your videos. I binge-watch them.... Yep. It really helps my family stay straight to follow your tips (there are 7 of us). I love your homemade cleaning products! I recently made my own laundry and dishwashing detergent, they make me happy! Cleaning with natural ingredients really gives me peace of mind that I'm not positing my children.
a few more organize videos would be great!
Perfect timing on this video. We are about to have a good purge of the house. Would love videos on decluttering kids rooms and play rooms as we always watch one of your videos with the kids so they can see what we want to do when we are about to start a cleaning project. Love love love your channel
Koo-pon not Qu-pon. Good video!
I say Kuponger
I say Qu pons
Definitely coo-pon
we say Koo-puhn (like '
Depends what part of the country/world you live in.
I have a huge clutter issue, so I am watching these cleaning video's every morning when I get up to sort of build up my mental muscle for actually starting to clean. I'm sure many other people have this same issue, and it's defiantly holding me back from inviting my friends and family over to my house, and I really want to show off the new kitchen remodel, but won't because I am embarrassed about the disorganization and clutter. I know what I would think if I went over to their house and it looked like mine, so this is particularly important to me. Thanks, I would like to see more videos on focusing on the benefits of decluttering like being able to finaly have that BBQ i've been want to have.
Ack, no to "Q" pons! Ain't no Q up in there! COO-pons! I need help decluttering all of the things.
With regards to ad mail, we've implemented a system of keeping a small recycling bin near the mailbox. I sort through the mail and discard unwanted paper outside, so it never makes its way inside!
It depends where you live in England we say Q pons
aurian fleeson where in England? I have loads of family there, and not one of 'em says "Q".
+duncandy up north generally
aurian fleeson Sounds about right....all of my relatives are from London proper, but some have moved no further north than Lincolnshire.
+aurian fleeson im lit from the north of england and ive never heard anyone say qpon
Yes please. More decluttering videos. I just found your channel and am loving it. How about decluttering bookshelves? Thank you so much!
Youre really motivating :DD
Thanks Joey! :D
yes, indeed!
I love Declutter videos as they help motivate me. What about decluttering the garage/shed, kids room, and medicine cabinet
my house looks like a dumping site. I need help. my husband will not throw anything away
claire hill same here.. did u solve the prob? I am still confused and clueless
Plz let me know if u find any solution
A suggestion...hide items for a while. If he doesn't need or ask for them then throw them away.
When your husband goes to work , smash a back window THEN . just throw it all the stuff away or whatever and when your husband comes home just say we've been burgled 😏😏 😁😁
Go watch A Hoarder's Heart. She's so good at helping people with hoarding disorder.
Love decluttering videos! Makes people feel so inspire to change their own spaces and also brings hope that you can one day finally organize your own home.
I'm struggling to declutter my 6yr old's "toy area" half of my livingroom 😒 lol she has bookcases, bins and draws but nothing actually lives where it's meant to, oh and her soft toy/teddy obsession is becoming ridiculous ☺️💟xx
I heard a tip: don't have more than you want to pick up all at once. I like that. Otherwise, try putting half of it in bins and swapping it once a month.
this video was awesome and helpful!
I have a couple of toddlers and when it comes to decluttering, the house is full of tons of small objects on the floor and the surfaces, and I don't have enough time to sort and put them away every day
your makeup looked so damn perfect back in the old days... now you look like you have watched too many makeup vids here on youtube
May I humbly add that who ever does your makeup...your eyebrows are way too dark !!! You are a beauty though, whished I had your hair !!!
Social media would be a happier place without the negative remarks towards eachother's makeup and personal assets. I think she looks gorgeous now and also back in the day, I love dark brows, I love her cleaning tips and I love positivity, I'm sure anyone does. If you want to give advice about serious things (which doesn't include make up), do it personally and not in public, and do it with kindness and soft words. Lastly, make-up is all about personal preferences, if you see something you don't like, that's fine, if other people say you for yourself wear too little or too much make-up, don't listen to them, do what makes you happy, because that's all that matters.
I follow many channels and I just don't understand why this is happening everywhere. More love, less hate, let a girl live :)
I do my makeup. And I don't touch my eyebrows. They are naturally black, and thick - and I like them. Thanks.
Thank you, well said.
I wonder if any of those people that comment about your looks actually take your cleaning advice and help the wives? lol
You really had some good ideas. You're very easy to relate to. Why would anyone give you a thumbs down? You no doubt possess many fine attributes, but you're especially good at cleaning up a mess, decluttering and organizing. We should send you to Washington. How good are you with swamps?
Do you leave those boxes there for your mail? Because... aesthetically it isn't very nice looking 😩
Whoyen Vu I think those boxes are very pretty. Way prettier than if she'd have just set the mail down right there.
P Webb irk I have same problem. I need go through it.
I liked the idea of the boxes. Although with me they would get full.
Love the 30 day bin and the tip for decluttering the kitchen utensils. And keep the decluttering coming. thanks D
Coo-pon, basement, yes.
I love your videos. I have to watch them before I start cleaning it gives me a ton of motivation! Ive just started to make my own cleaning products because of your videos!
I'm an Uber driver. How can I declutter and organize my car?
+Amanda McCain You're in luck because we just released our Car Cleaning Video! Watch it at this link and let us know what you think! bit.ly/CarCleaningVideo
Amanda McCain get started
I love decluttering videos. ❤
I need help decluttering organization bins, tools, household repair materials, and expensive furniture.
It´s 04.11 what the actual fuck am i doing..
Learning to declutter - way to go Jonathan :)
Happy, Happy to you my Queen of Clean!! Bless you & yours. That be kitty & Chad. And more, I guess. Have a good one.
I need a maid lol.
Yes please! More decluttering. What we need most decluttering help is probably garage. With 4 kids we have many hand-me-downs that we just can't get rid of, boxes of half-saved things, things we want to donate but can't - the goodwill won't take (for example a recliner?) etc. Though we have the mail buildup, the clothes buildup, and books we just can't get rid of too. Also though we do a 'sweep' of our kids toys, there always seems to be more. ;)
Good info but background music is distracting.
Yes, more de-cluttering videos! thanks for the tips (Magazines, etc.) Sooooo useful! thank you, "Clean my space" Lynn Eyland, Halifax, Nova Scotia!
q-pons
Friggin Freegan coo-pins sounds more fun to say lol
love your decluttering videos. I'm trying to figure out what to get rid of out my house right now. It's a new year and I want to have a new start!
Turkey baster ????? Go vegan- problem solved.. :-)
I use one of these in the garage. I'm a mechanic. :-D
yes more declutter videos please! how do you declutter outdoor supplies?
A tip from an old lady. That busy neckline takes the focus away from your pretty face
That's funny, I was thinking the same thing, it's very distracting. Great video though.
No it doesn't.
So what? It's a video about decluttering, not fashion or beauty.
Joshua Sabatino - she was talking about the neckline of her shirt. Not her actual neck so it is something she change if she would want to.
Joshua Sabatino - I wasn't bitching about it. I was letting you know what a neckline was. The original commenter wasn't being rude. She just stated the shirt was distracting. She even called her pretty. I doubt Melissa needs you defending her and telling and old lady she's a bitch and to stfu. Grow up!
I really enjoy your videos and YEESS for more decluttering videos please! We live in a space where we don't have enough space for all the items (especially in the kitchen grrr) and I'm having such a hard time keeping the house tidy with all this mess
Q-PON or COOPON ? You only have to look at the origin of the word.
For any non-American, your Q-PON pronunciation would be incorrect and sounds distinctly wierd. Since it comes from the French '"couper" meaning to cut, it's correct pronunciation is 'coopon' (as you write it). Sorry for the pedantry !
I LOVE the decluttering videos. More, more, more please. Thanks for doing what you do so well.
I have clutter everywhere!! However, I have been meaning to use the kitchen drawer method for quite a while, but will definitely give a try tomorrow.
Your videos are great! It also helps motivate me to clean and know what to do. I need more declutter ideas for art supplies and bathroom small one ideas.
