50 things you need to throw away

We all want a happy, clear mind and this starts at home. If you are living in messy, cluttered rooms this will have a negative impact on you and could slow you down.

I challenge you to chuck away items that are not needed. I have created a list below to give you some ideas of items that you no longer need you and will be surprised at how good this makes you feel.

Remember not all items need to be thrown in the bin.  Some can be taken to the charity shop or you can have a carboot sale so organise two boxes one for rubbish and one for charity/carboot.

I had a comment earlier that said, “Can we have cleaning please?” 🧽It made me look back through my page and honestly, around 90% of what I share is cleaning —mproducts, hacks, tips, and recommendations. But there’s so much more to me than just cleaning! 💗I love fashion, fitness, motivation, travel and just getting out and about living life. When I first started my journey on social media, I was literally the only person in the UK sharing cleaning content it was all so new and exciting! But now, let’s be honest, cleaning is everywhere and it can get a little repetitive and boring! So I’ve decided that the other 10% of my content will be a mix of lifestyle, fashion, and a bit more me. ✨I really hope that’s okay with you all still plenty of cleaning, just with a sprinkle more personality 💕#queenofclean #cleaningtips #cleaninghacks #lifestyle #motivation #fashion ...

This morning’s little laundry drama 🫣 A white T-shirt somehow snuck into the dark wash hiding inside a jumper! Totally my fault for not checking 😅 It came out looking dull and grey, but I wasn’t giving up…I washed it with aDr Beckmann Glowhite sachet on a 60 degree cycle and it’s come up so much better! ✨Always worth keeping a few of these sachets handy for those laundry mishaps! 👚💧#queenofclean #laundrytips #cleaningtips #glowwhite #laundryfails ...
