    Decluttering your entire home can feel like a black hole of a task, where you never see the end in sight. So sometimes it’s best to get it out of the way as quickly as possible–maybe even by the end of the day. 

    While organizing your whole space in 24 hours might seem impractical, certain tricks make it possible. It just requires some creativity and resourcefulness. 

    Ahead, we tapped two pro organizers for their top tips to declutter your entire home in one day—in a way that doesn’t feel daunting and that you might even enjoy. The satisfaction of a clean space at the end of it will certainly be worth it, at the very least.

    • MaryJo Monroe is the owner and professional organizer at reSPACEd.
    • Isabelle Wood is the founder and head organizer at Organizing Engineers.

    Focus On the Most Visible Spaces

    Decluttering an entire home in a day means you can’t get too nitpicky—so instead, it’s best to focus on bigger items in the most visible rooms of the home like your kitchen, living room, or bathroom.

    “This is not the time to sort through your family photos, memorabilia, old tax documents, or mismatched socks,” says MaryJo Monroe, owner and professional organizer at reSPACEd.

    Or Start with Stress-Inducing Spaces

    Another good starting point is to identify which areas are causing you the most stress. 

    “By prioritizing and decluttering these spaces, the relief of seeing progress will be rewarding and motivate you to keep going through the rest of your home,” says Isabelle Wood, founder and head organizer at Organizing Engineers.

    If you feel like the entire home is stressing you out, Wood suggests trying out the kitchen or entryway first. 

    “These rooms are used so often and also by various members of the household that once you declutter them, it will make a great positive impact on everyone’s daily life,” Wood explains

    Get Rid of No-Brainer Items

    Once you’ve decided where to declutter, it’s time to focus on what to declutter. For Wood, this means getting rid of the obvious, “no-brainer” items.

    “For example, trash, empty boxes and containers, packaging, and items that are expired, broken, or stained,” she elaborates. “Decluttering these objects won’t require a lot of decision-making on your part, which will make the process easier and faster.”

    Utilize Helping Hands

    Decluttering multiple rooms is no simple undertaking, so it’s best to delegate tasks to other household members or friends who can help you out.

    “One person can walk through the room with a bag for trash and a bag for recycling, grabbing those kinds of items in every room,” Monroe offers as an example.

    “Another person can walk through the room with a couple of laundry baskets: one for gathering up things that go upstairs (or downstairs) and another for gathering up things that stay on this floor, but live in another room,” she adds.

    Tip

    You run the risk of not being able to find items or having things accidentally thrown away when you get more people involved—so Monroe suggests discerning if efficiency or accuracy is more important to you. 

    Create Time Blocks (and Break Blocks)

    Allocate a certain amount of time to tackle each of your priority rooms, and then track those time slots as you go through the decluttering process. 

    “I recommend giving some extra time to work on the rooms that require more effort, like kitchens [and] big closets,” she adds. 

    You’ll also want to designate time to take breaks so you don’t burn out. 

    “We recommend setting a timer to go off every hour on the hour to remind everyone to sit down, eat a snack, drink water, [or] use the bathroom,” Monroe notes. “Like the saying goes: learn to take a break, not quit.”

    Sort Items by Category

    The Spruce / Leticia Almeida

    For items that need to live in your room rather than be thrown out, the tried and true trick of sorting them by category is always helpful.

    “Then, designate a home for each category near where they get used,” Monroe says. “For example, gaming equipment goes in a drawer by the TV. Craft projects can be individually packaged into gallon storage bags, stacked in a bin, and stored near the craft table. Pots and pans get stored next to the stove.”

    Leave Time at the End for Cleanup

    Decluttering may just seem like a game of putting things in place, but there’s bound to be certain tasks needed for a final tidy-up.

    So, Monroe recommends setting aside an hour at the end of your decluttering day to clean up.

    “This part is critical! During the last hour, take out the trash and recycling, put away the bins of things that live in another room, and load up donations in your car to take to a charity,” she suggests. “You might also use this time to post items to Buy Nothing or on an online selling platform.”

    Tip

    Transportation is important to consider, too.

    “It’s really helpful to have your car emptied out before you start decluttering, so there’s plenty of room to load up bags for donation,” Monroe says.

    Don’t Make Plans After

    When all is said and done, it’s unlikely you’ll have much energy post-clean-up. Instead, reward yourself with rest.

    “You will be very tired after an all-day decluttering sprint, so don’t plan to have people over or go out that evening,” Monroe says. “Plan to order in food.”
