DECLUTTERING MY ENTIRE HOUSE! decluttering, organizing and cleaning | whole house declutter 2024

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

I love videos like this. They always get my booty up and moving. I recently just donated 99% of my closet to a local women's shelter who help pregnant and abused women. It felt so good to get rid of things that I could no longer wear.

[@LaurenMidgley]

Oh that is a great idea!! Maybe I’ll do that instead of goodwill!

[@shortypShortyp]

Hi Lauren! You did another great job decluttering! I feel like I have to constantly declutter my closet because it depends on my mood or how attached to clothes I get so I find it helpful to keep going back to it here and there and I always end up decluttering something. Hope you are having a great week!

[@Practicalmamam1234]

Great video! My maiden name is Midgley, I almost never see it anywhere!

[@iamamnesia]

LOVE this idea. i think ill do that next time i donate instead of savers

[@marjorieorallo3495]

@LaureenMidgley are you already throwing your old clothes?? You can also send it here in the Philippines

[@RaeC5280]

A tip that helps me is to remember - the memory is not stored in the item. You won't forget the honeymoon if you get rid of the dress. And you have a way better souvenir than a dress you won't wear again - your husband!

[@anumkhan286]

😂😂😂

[@AbigailMillerLSW]

Yes, yes, yes!!! Also, if you want to keep the clothing because of memories (and you don't wear it), just keep in with other special things instead of with your daily clothes. A memory box (youtube: The Minimal Mom, memory box) is great for this or crafting with the fabric. It is hard to get dressed fast and efficiently when the closet is full of things you can't wear today.

[@MellyMel1984]

As soon as you ate chocolate chips and forgot what you went downstairs for, I knew we could 100% be friends, and I needed to follow you. 😂❤

[@melissabinder7225]

I was gonna say the same. I do it on the daily.

[@brandydupont9119]

Same!!!

[@Noelle1973]

I loved you laying down the closet rules and then immediately breaking them, easier 26:38 said than done. So funny you going downstairs for trash bags and getting a chocolate snack forgetting what you had gone for in the first place😂hysterical. You are the cutest and one of my fav to watch❤

[@stephaniesperkoski8539]

Getting rid of clothes does not get get rid of the memories. Take a picture and then get rid of the clothing item. If it's not bringing you joy and not used or worn regularly, then it needs to go. You know how good decluttering makes you feel. Its like a breath of fresh air and a weight has been lifted. ❤

[@KatrinaB2906]

"My husband bought wire hangers into the marriage" this cracked me up, like he bought some horrible trait in 😂

[@tx_s]

My husband did the same thing. Nope - out they went. 🤣

[@labradorite8256]

They are horrible, there's something spiky and unpleasant about them and they tangle and look messy. A marriage doesn't need that in it 😂

[@stephanieswinsonmays8986]

I struggle letting go of clothes (especially tshirts) too because of sentimental value! But a few years ago I took my huge hoard of tshirts that I never wear and cut out the back or the pocket or just whatever and did a scrapbook of sorts. Would glue the shirt scraps to cardstock and add other mementos/photos from the concert or vacation on top. It turned out so cute (it sits on my coffee table & ppl love flipping thru it when they come over!) plus was able to declutter my closet & finally do something with printed photos that were just in a box

[@LaurenMidgley]

Oh my goodness that is SUCH a good idea! Thank you for sharing!!

[@carolynoquinn4573]

You could get those black or pink velvet hangers! They look so pretty and are uniform, and the clothes don't fall off!

[@LaurenMidgley]

Yes! I need to get something a bit more uniform!

[@labradorite8256]

​@LaurenMidgley I'm a velvet hanger convert. I loved my wooden hangers, still have a few for heavier pieces, but they sit so much easier in the wardrobe on velvet.

[@rowanford8141]

feel like you would benefit from a memory bin. put the clothes you dont wear that are mementos, like the baptism dress and the honey moon dress and put them in a bin. that way you are wading through them when getting dressed

[@LaurenMidgley]

Oh that’s a great idea!😃

[@AdamDixonSR]

My sister and I used to say "No wire hangers!" all the time growing up (though we did indeed have wire hangers!) and I think I never actually saw the entire movie that the quote is from! I had a pair of pants that I kept for YEARS just because I thought they were gorgeous lol! They were too small and I had no shirt to go with them, but they. were. GORGEOUS!! I finally said, someone else can find a shirt to go with these and will love them just as much as you do. ANd I let them go...FINALLY!

[@joannebernard293]

I'm back!! Oh how I missed you Lauren!! You're so funny in this video I love it! You remind me of me with the closet clean out. Haha! I'm catching up on your videos.

[@mxo1386]

I genuinely enjoy watching your videos! The realest KZbinr!!

[@SimplyEnjoyingLife]

Great job with you closet! It feels so good to get rid of stuff. I find it a little addicting and once I get started I just want to go through the whole house. 😂

[@J.O.Y.andArt]

Wow your closet looks amazing!!! Everything else looks great too!❤❤❤

[@IngridEstrada-jv7mj]

Lauren you made me laugh at the beginning of video. 😂 I love your personality you’re quite funny. Love your videos!

[@SherrieLee63]

First time watching , thank you!

[@Peggy-]

Great job, Lauren! The closet looks great. If you have any extra wicker baskets, you could put your toilet paper & other things in them & put them on that wire shelf in your closet.

[@stephaniealaia769]

I love decluttering videos, they’re so satisfying to watch. Especially the before and after a. And it’s so funny in the beginning of you’re video how you said with your clothes bc I say that too but then also get like this is sentimental I need it 😅 have a great week, Lauren! 💜

[@elenascrolling]

blessed with over 26 minutes of you cleaning and talking - love it!

[@LaurenMidgley]

Yay!! Im so happy! It definitely was a chatty one!😀

[@dorisochoa116]

I really enjoy watching these videos, they give me so much motivation 😊

[@angeljuarez93]

Thank you for the motivation 😊 you always bring smiles and laughter when I’m watching. You did a great job getting rid of things.

[@YJHS123]

Lauren your videos and your confidence is growing by God's grace... again I see a Lauren who is full of life and love... love watching your videos

[@barbarapratt5682]

Hey Lauren! Love your declutterring videos! I am strictly a nothing on top of the fridge person. To me it’s the first sign of a cluttered home!

[@psyche-soma-sol]

My favorite video ever. This is exactly how it looks when I try to declutter lol!!! The closer hesitation withi the first two mins for the Selena shirt is ME lol!

[@LaurenMidgley]

Ahh yay!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!!!😀

[@cathypreaster1210]

You’re so funny - “ my husband brought wire hangers into the marriage” - I’ve never heard anyone say that before! Cracked Me Up 😸

[@angelabrockman7816]

Love your sweet laughter from the Salty Dog Hilton Head memory. Was it Mommy Dearest? Nice job. Looks good. Very motivating. 👍❤

[@bombayluver6735]

Love these Love seeing a normal person and normal home

[@andreaharper2380]

I recently got rid of an old band tee as well because it had holes and I think way too small. I held on to it for decades and now it was finally time to get rid of old items as I am in a totally different chapter of my life with a 4.5 yr old in my 50s...lol

[@CathyColegrove-u5e]

Wow! Awesome closet cleanout-2 donate bags! I so need to do that!

[@j.christian6801]

Lauren - this was great! Loved it- thanks!

[@LaurenMidgley]

Yay!! I’m so glad!! Thank you for commenting!!😁🩷

[@lucychampigny1944]

Hi Lauren !!,Great video! You are just to funny!.😂 Love the video as always .Bless you and your beautiful family. 🙏🏼xoxo 🌻

[@genniejefferson6588]

Closet looks great. You got rid of a lot. You’re just so pleasant to watch, home is beautiful.

[@hannahathome970]

Omg this is what I need to do in my closet. Just not overthink each piece and toss it, but I'll always spend too much time deciding 😂 thanks for the motivation ❤

[@amelyefafard985]

You can use a scrapper for the stickers on the side of the fridge! You can wet the stickers with hot water and dish soap and then you scrappe it! I swear it will be gone in 2 minutes!

[@deedexter3807]

Hi Lauren, so glad you are feeling better. Keep up the great work. ❤

[@LaurenMidgley]

I am feeling soo much better, I’m glad you can tell a difference ☺️

[@vickimckenney6173]

Ty for the motivation & inspiration to keep going with decluttering!!! I was on a roll & quit & gotta get back to it!!! ❤

[@clarissadcastro3724]

Looks soo good! Great motivation.

[@09mlucas]

Hi, Lauren... My name is Misty & I live in Alabama. I have recently started watching your videos. I really enjoy them. I went ahead & joined today...I look forward to your next video. Thank you for all that you do to get a video out for us to see...

[@donna8264]

This video was so satisfying! Great job…now you’ve motivated me to do the same!!!

[@LaurenMidgley]

Woohoo!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!😃😀🩷

[@instagamrr]

Lmao, that’s hilarious about your tall husband hiding things in tall places 😂 i would have never thought of that

[@patriciawhite9668]

Love your videos. Have a great rest of your day ❤

[@LaurenMidgley]

Thank you so much!! I hope you are having a great week so far!!❤️

[@starrysloth8018]

omg the 1st 3mins sooo relatable!

[@dianneperry2903]

I can't stand to rush. That sould take me about 5 hours to do cause, I want to take my time, look through everything and declutter, vacuum and clean the floor, baseboards. I always count the items I'm donating to make my brain think I've done something good. 🤣😂 You need to get the velvet hangers. They make so much more room hanging your clothes.

[@pamkoss1342]

Excellent work!!! You made me laugh with the first shirt you pulled out to decide whether to donate or keep. Selena would be proud!

[@likeargamanflaming940]

"Noooo morrrrre wirrre HANGERSSSSSS!" Excellent movie! 😂

[@bobbijonichols5651]

Lauren just found you on KZbin today. Subscribed & I'll be catching up on all I've missed. Have a great day!/

[@knowlesfamily8946]

You definitely need to make a memory tshirt quilt!

[@tyreesetjjoyner1995]

Good work, Lauren. You still got it. Your house looks tidy up

[@jasminhuber7573]

Thanks for sharing its so motivation to me 💜👍🏽 i love the realistic ones 💜🌺

[@leticiateakle]

My PJs are old tshirts that are from concerts and i love it because it then had a purpose and i am always reminded

[@Mimiandmomof4]

Love all your videos!!!! ❤❤❤

[@yeung44]

The closet will definitely look way organized if you change all the hangers the same, like the basic slim, velvet one sell in Amazon. 😊 BTW, you did amazing!

[@ThatsTravelUSA]

Who knew this could be soooo therapeutic!!

[@wendyinegbenedo1307]

I love the functional use idea by your front door. You use the items there so keeping them in that area is perfect. I love the corn starch idea as dry shampoo. I am doing to try it as well. The dry shampoos have had many recalls from chemicals that are dangerous, and the chemicals make my head itch. ❤❤❤❤❤Corn starch is much safer.

[@tx_s]

The closet was a great transformation! I have some decor on the top of my fridge which keeps stuff being put up there. 😉

[@katieh200]

Hi Lauren ,you could use the second drawer on you hall sideboard for your emergency stuff torch ect 😁

[@catherinealex1679]

T shirts you love can be made into quilts.

[@ashotofsherry]

Hi. I liked your video. Your closet looks so good. It will look even better if you have all your hangars the same; it looks like you have enough white hangars to do that. I did and couldn't believe how much better it looks. We don't use wire hangars either. Thanks for sharing!

[@caitlinsampson269]

Good video! Thanks ❤

[@stephaniesperkoski8539]

I don't have a fancy closet with fancy hangers or organization, but I do use all white plastic hangers, and it makes it look more cohesive and organized. 😊

[@stephaniepozoulakis]

The closet looks so good! Proud of you! I have to ask- find any silverware? 😂😂

[@ashleysnedegar3268]

Great video!

[@tdelli3675]

I go downstairs for stuff and eat then come up empty handed like 5 times a day lol

[@MrsMomma615]

I can’t believe you got rid of Snoopy Christmas! Classic 😂

[@HappyLife-nf7wb]

Just choose all the white hangers and use them. Other colors can go. So it looks neat and tidy.

[@magorzatakozak8942]

Hangers in one colour would be nice

[@NdeK-ul6vj]

Good evening, a drawer containing trays in different sizes keeps the drawer tidy. Putting things back loose in a drawer; make it a mess again after a few days.

[@mariawhetstone7558]

If something brings you a memory like baptism dress there maybe pictures of you wearing it then you could give it up get matching hangers if possible ❤

[@ericalewis1084]

This is my first time watching and commenting. I don't keep much on the top of my fridge either but a friend of mine is staying here and most of his protein powder jugs are there crowding the space.

[@LaurenMidgley]

I hope you enjoyed it!! And what is with guys and putting their protein powders on the fridge!! Lol

[@Poje007]

U need to get all matching hangers it would look so much neater!😊

[@mjs.2000]

Great job 👏

[@mrs.sarah.gates.23]

I had some quilts made with sentimental clothing items! 🙂

[@brendaechols5929]

I just cannot part with my Duran Duran concert shirts 😫..

[@ashleyboudville7086]

If you have a photo of you in the outfit then the memory is preserved of the item better than seeing the item on a hanger in your closet. That helps me at least with decluttering sentimental clothing x

[@OSUmOmx2]

Oh yes top of the fridge woahs! Lol

[@DeloresKennedy-gf4wn]

Great Job 👍

[@holly1761]

Did you like the book? No One Will Miss Her is on my tbr. I like when you include your reads

[@karenacox8932]

Will be watching. I’ve had a lot of company and need some motivation 😬

[@LaurenMidgley]

Yay!! I hope it makes you feel motivated!😀

[@mariaserra8402]

Hi great work got rid of a lot of stuff

[@vanialoureiro7481]

To donate clothes in Europe you need to wash and fold them. It's written everywhere where you can put them away 😊

[@МаргаритаШарко-г5п]

Good video

[@sarahrking]

Oh boyyyy, I need to do this in my closet! Can you come visit me with iced coffees 😂 Hahaha

[@Lakewaveboat]

I became widowed unexpectedly when i was 27 (im 30 now) KEEP your sentimental clothes. Get a container specifically for sentimental clothes. You can have blankets and things made out of them once you get enough. If it’s a good memory, it’s not clutter ❤️ if it’s just a random clothing item or a bad memory then it’s clutter.

[@maryannnewman7863]

Enjoyed you video

[@jnnfr715]

Oh good, I’m not the only one who gets distracted by chocolate chips!

[@viviansoares334]

Você é extremamente divertida ❤😂 Um abraço do Brasil.

[@theamytivillehorror]

I love the “whoops” and placing things back in. 😂

[@jamiephillips9009]

Memory bins 😊

[@karenrechsteiner7100]

Question…. Since you hang most of your tshirts, what do you have in drawers? I fold all mine up and my closet is all dress clothes, skirts, dresses and blouses. All my shorts and tops are in drawers.

[@LaurenMidgley]

I keep my leggings, jeans, shorts, workout sets, sweats and undergarments in my dresser :)

[@ginaa4436]

Lauren, My mom was a young girl in Italy during the depression and WW2. Fabric was scarce and she got married in a tan dress because white wasn’t available. She instilled in me how we should hold on to things, especially clothes, because “you just never know”. I do get rid of things, but probably not as much as I should. “Mommie Dearest”😬😂

[@annw1395]

Good job! I strongly recommend keeping your wallet out of sight. If you want it in your entryway, put it in one of the top drawers. Still very easy and accessible, and much safer. It's good to store things where you use them, like you are doing with that hairbrush and the sun screens. But do you dry shampoo your hair in the foyer? If not, I'd move the cornstarch to wherever you would do the dry shampoo. I love that blue and white vase on your entryway table.

[@arielgiroux]

Omg I recently got rid of the exact same Selena Gomez tee😭 Held onto it for the same reason but I started to take pictures of stuff I wanna remember or put them aside in a memory bin if I really can’t part with it!

[@tessahack8185]

Decluttering my closet is on my to do list, but it’ll have to wait until next week. We just got back from Gulf Shores and my baby boy is turning 1 so we’re doing his party this weekend bc my husband will be gone on his actual birthday (he works on a boat).

[@mariawhetstone7558]

Get bins clear if possible for top and lower part of closet ❤

[@lisast123]

I like to declutter.. but l just dont have stuff 😂

[@licensednailtech]

“What if I lost 20 lbs and I was invited too….” Where do we come up with these scenarios and why do we keep the clothes we still wouldn’t wear if that day came 😂😂😂😂😂 so real!!! Let me throw out some clothes now lmfao

[@LaurenMidgley]

lol!! I swear I always think “what if I get invited to a costume party where I need ___”?! Have I EVER been invited to a costume party?.. no 🤪

[@lucyroberts2800]

You could have a memory box with items or take a photo of the items the things are not memories as you pick them up you already have the memory .i changed all my hangers to grey and black velvet hangers my husband has the plastic ones no metal hangers in our house .

[@caracampbell1715]

You are so funny, Lauren! “My husband brought wire hangers into the marriage” like it’s some terrible evil, and “she’s on her last leg”! Girl, that shirt didn’t even have a leg left! 😆 How about a pretty basket to put the TP in?

[@LaurenMidgley]

Hahaha I don’t know what that shirt had over me but she overstayed her welcome😆 and that’s a great idea! I think I should get a few large baskets for up on the shelves! I feel like there’s so much extra space but I’m not sure what to do with it!

[@caracampbell1715]

@@LaurenMidgley yes, I was thinking you should get several to put up there. They’re just so darn expensive!

[@vrnpvl]

hi if you struggle with sentimental items and keep them because "you will forget the memories", take a photo and make an album full of sentimental things

[@janicemouhot5420]

No wire hangers!! Joan Crawford character in Mommy Dearest . Say it all the time. Lol

[@LaurenMidgley]

Yes!! 😆 my mom used to always say that!
