Ellen Martin, organizing consultant for TLC's "Hoarding: Buried Alive" series, shares 3 steps to help you de-clutter your life. Free your space and the mind will follow. Remember that getting organized is important to your overall health.
Step 1: Mold Prevention
Mold grows in the damp, cluttered areas of your home. It is overlooked as a cause of allergies and breathing problems because most people are unaware that mold is multiplying right under their own roof. One of the most common places that mold grows is under the kitchen sink, an often ignored storage space in many homes where a few drops of water can be the start of a very big problem. Don’t let mold creep up on you.
* De-clutter this space so you can get to the source of the problem.
* Organize the space so that you can see all of the surfaces. Use bins to facilitate cleaning under the sink. Instead of fumbling with the 10 or 20 cleaning products or kitchen appliances under your sink, sort them into a few bins that are easier to move and stack. Clear plastic bins, for example, are great for helping you keep an eye on mold.
