Did you know that March saw National de-clutter week?Open any lifestyle magazine these days and there is likely to be an article extolling the virtues of a de- cluttered home and if you think carefully it makes a lot of sense. You have probably heard of the maxim that you should have nothing in your home which isn´t beautiful or useful and it is a good place to start, whilst accepting that one person´s beautiful is another’s ugly.

Looking at you home with a really critical eye can help you decide which items are neither beautiful or useful and help you to clear that clutter. The resulting space can transform your rooms and make them look much much bigger.

Kitchens and bathrooms in particular seem to be prone to attracting muddle and long unused items, littering the surfaces and cupboards. Children´s bedrooms too are often full of forgotten and unused items.

The waste extends beyond the house though. Lofts, garden sheds and garages all seem to act as magnets for things which just might ¨come in handy one day¨ but which in reality rarely do more than gather dust. It would be interesting to know how many cars nationwide don´t live in the garage because there is no room for them!.

Sometimes , of course, we are living with items which we haven´ got rid of because they are too heavy or bulky: maybe old furniture, beds or electrical appliances.

No excuse…waste collection and rubbish removal firms in Brighton will collect from home for you and no job is too small or too big for their attention. You can be sure as well that if you dispose of your rubbish in this way it will help the environment as the best firms boast recycling rates of up to 90%.

So, no excuse and you don´t have to wait until next March for the next de -clutter week, get started now with a spring clean to beat all spring cleans , that extends from house to garden, shed to garage and loft.
