5 Things You Need to Know about Swedish Death Cleaning

Be aware of the fact that to downsize your home will take some time. This new job of yours will not be accomplished any faster if you wait, but with a little practice and preparation, it will certainly be easier for you to make decisions about how to get rid of things. Trust me, the more time you spend going through your belongings, the easier it will be for you to decide what to keep and what not to. The more you work at it, the less time-consuming it will become.

Start by checking the basement or the attic or the cupboards by your front door. These areas are great places to temporarily get rid of your excess.

Good for you, because you will now realize that you will not miss anything if you throw it away.
