I tried “Swedish death cleaning” and it worked 😱 (my organizing secret!)

by Filed Under: Advice & Vlogs, Cleaning, Organization Leave a Comment

Hey guys! A couple years ago I made a video where I “Swedish death” cleaned my husband Charlie’s closet…and it actually worked! I fell in love with the method. It works with all your possessions, from big to little. Even your sentimental clutter. So come clean and declutter with me. I feel like we could all use that in 2021. My last video on how to organize your home using Dollar Tree products landed on the YouTube trending page, and so many of you asked in the comments how to declutter and simplify your life to get organized. You said you felt overwhelmed, so I made this honest video about how I Swedish death cleaned my home to declutter and live more minimally. I wouldn’t say I’m a minimalist, but living lighter has freed up so much more time to spend with family. Zero regrets! Thank you for letting me be so honest here and for watching!
