Declutter Your House, Declutter Your Life: 21 Steps to a Tidier, More Organized Home

Declutter Your House, Declutter Your Life: 21 Steps to a Tidier, More Organized Home - Jeff Logan The title of the should be "Clean Your House, Clean Your Life." That is more the focus of this book.

While cleaning is important to decluttering there is more to it. The author seems more focused on simple counting the dust and germ clutter you have floating around. And while most of us have more of that in our home than we want, it is not what I expect in a book for clutter and being tidy so much.

We are told vacuum daily, even furniture. go through your house twice a daily and clean everything you touch, do laundry daily, etc. That last one really bugs me. While it does save on not needing laundry baskets it is a huge waste on water and energy. We are told don't eat on our couches, don't let pets on the bed, etc. All focused on cleanliness. Every click must have had the word CLEAN typed at least once.

So clean, clean, clean! And when you are done cleaning, clean some more! That is how I felt after reading this. I wanted tips on clutter. While getting the fur, dust bunnies and hidden crumbs out of the house is great and I am all for a cleaner home, that is not what I was looking for when I got this.

For those who get worked up about a couple pieces of hair or fur on the ground, go read this. For those who don't want to be cleaning a couple hours a day, look elsewhere on how to keep a tidier home. And for those of you who could use help living from living in a dirty home, are constantly getting colds, etc then this book might be helpful, even if it is on the extreme side.
