As human beings, we always seem to be accumulating more and more stuff. No matter what we do, there always seems to be some useless item in our home that we don’t know how it ever got there in the first place. Don’t let the mountain of growing things in your home be a common source of stress. Clear out unnecessary items and feel free in your home again. 

Guardian Homes, a home builder in Idaho Falls, helped us come up with this list of things you can go through right now to declutter your home.

1. Socks with no matches
2. Unwatched DVDs
3. Dried out markers and pens
4. Condiments leftover from your takeout adventures
5. Food storage containers with no lid
6. Clothing that doesn’t fit
7. Chipped dishes - like plates, cups, bowls, and mugs
8. Expired food
9. Old magazines
10. Old paint
11. Power cords with no home
12. Expired medications
13. Expired makeup
