A way that I've kept my clothes limited: I never buy new hangers. If I have too many clothes for the hangers I currently own, I have to donate my least favorite thing to free one up. It's been working like an absolute charm. I used to have a massive clothes-hoarding problem until I started doing this. Highly recommend.

[@LaurieC0812]

That’s a great idea.

[@JW-pi2pp]

I do something similar, except I allow myself to buy hangers. Instead I have two racks in my closet. Shirts/pants all start on one side until they have been worn. Then I hang them back up on the other side. If I get down to a few items and I don't want to wear them they get removed. Then I start back over again. This keeps me wearing my clothes and prevents me from keeping things I won't wear.

[@thetherrannative]

@@JW-pi2pp That's genius! If I ever get a closet with two bars, I'm definitely incorporating that.

[@annakout]

Yes!!! I have 60 hangers and if I don’t have enough hangers for my clothes, something has to go! It’s such a great way to stay organized and not get so overwhelmed.

[@Chrissyhappy]

@@thetherrannativeyou can also turn the hangers round when you’ve worn something so at the end of say three months you can see which clothes haven’t been worn. I had to do it this way as I don’t have two rails either.😊

Growing up, about once a year Mom would tell us to put all unwanted things in the hallway, and we 4 kids would rummage through each others unwanted stuff to keep what we wanted. That done, we would tell Mom and she would collect what was left and donate it. She called it Garbage Give-away Day 😄

[@gwenellison5386]

This is brilliant. I wish I had thought of something like that when my kids were still at home.

[@DMinSFBay]

Our spare room got super cluttered like this! My husband’s an oncologist/professor, I’m a school principal, we have three kids under age 10, and a boatload of animals because I can’t say no to cute, furry things. We get so unbelievably busy, and sometimes we start just “sequestering” the things we can’t handle at the moment into the guest room. It’s a terrible habit, but it’s also about survival. It can happen to anyone! No one should judge people’s homes! Love what you do, man!

[@sarahholland2600]

​@@DMinSFBayI would schedule on my phone, a 10min a week to deal with it , before it builds up to overwhelm level. I have a friend that lets things build up: then it's too much & she gets stressed & leaves it & then it gets 10 times worse. 10mins regularly is do-able.

[@julielangton51]

​@DMinSFBay I grew up with the 1 room always being cluttered. It was a very small bedroom that was part of an extension that my parents had done to the house in the early 1980s. My Dad got sick of Mum's clutter in there, so he put in floor to ceiling industrial strength shelving along one wall. It's has a huge cupboard on another. My desk and return and bookcase made its way in there. He labelled everything, all things similar were together, just like his garage. And ever year or so he would go in and reorganise it coz mum was so lazy she knew he would do it. Dad died in February 2017, fast forward to now and there is crap everywhere. I moved back in with her last year as I couldn't afford to rent on my own any more. And the 3 rooms that are mine, lounge, bedroom and craft/study, my bedroom is the only room that doesn't have any of her stuff in it. It's not hoarding, it's just laziness. Dad did everything for her, and I refuse to.

[@melaniehutchinson5306]

Yes to family purge days! Life is so much easier with less stuff.

[@bonniepelletier9990]

A cleaning client of mine literally has toys in every room of their house! Even in the en suite shower and mom and dad’s room! They wanted a whole house clean every two weeks but I don’t have a long enough spot open to pick up all the toys and do a detailed cleaning. After asking repeatedly I finally had to tell the mom that I wouldn’t give them a spot unless they ( the parents ) put limits on where toys could be in the house and that there was no way I would clean the kids rooms until a purge was done for all 3 kids. I know! You said what to them?!?!?! I felt I had to help this poor mom gain control over their home and I’m fine in being the “bad guy!” Now the home only has toys in the kids rooms, the family room upstairs and in the basement family room. I don’t even see toys out on the deck anymore, just in the yard. These parents FINALLY have some space of their own and their home is not filled with clutter anymore! Mom has since thanked me for being honest with her and telling her what she needed to hear.

[@authenticallyamber99]

[@colleenpeck6347]

[@dsmith9796]

Well done you!!! I have a neighbor who cleans houses - she tells her clients that she cleans houses, not clutter, so they have to have the house picked up before her day to clean - she has plenty of clients so no worries if she drops one. You might suggest that this mom find The Minimal Mom, on KZbin - it might change her life even more for the better.

[@onecatshortofcrazy12]

Getting rid of excess clothes has been hard and rewarding. I started by realizing that I HATED switching out summer and winter clothes. It just wouldn’t get done. I would dig out some winter stuff, and then a few weeks later dig out some more, etc. next thing I knew I had clothes piled on the floor again because it wouldn’t all fit in the dressers and a had a mix of summer and winter clothing. So when I started purging I also designated drawers which ALSO limits how much I can keep. Anything too small is an automatic donate (because let’s face it I haven’t lost the weight in 20 years 😂). Anything with stains or holes is trash. I only kept a few for doing dirty work at home. I have two dressers, under the bed drawers, and a wardrobe (No closets in this house). There are specific drawers for tshirts, long sleeved shirts, dress pants, work pants, etc. The laundry has gotten SO much easier. I still have too much, but it’s more manageable

[@5thdimension954]

Good for you! I walk in circles in my bedroom. The rest of the house has been purged but my bedroom holds my wardrobe and this I find to be the hardest to unload.

[@onecatshortofcrazy12]

@@5thdimension954 it took me a long time

[@TarquinTheTall]

Wait...Australian here...what is the difference between a wardrobe and a closet?

[@LauraMacMillan-el2kc]

Not a thing, in *my* opinion. But: Some people say "closet" if it's built in; "wardrobe" if it's a piece of furniture you bring into the room afterwards.

[@Chrissyhappy]

@@onecatshortofcrazy12me too! I had so much and found it overwhelming. I did about eight passes in all. Got rid of about 90%. Took about four months. I am now down to about 20 pieces and I live in the UK 🇬🇧 so we have four seasons…often in one day 😂. It also caused me some anxiety while I was in the process but each pass got easier. I now feel like a weight has been lifted. It has. 16 trash bags to donate!

[@abbyag]

I have an almost 40 y/o kirby that was my aunt's and it is the best vacuum of all time. I haven't used one as good as it.

[@JariDawnchild]

We had a Kirby at mom's, thing worked like a dream until it finally just took a shit. By that point, repairing it would have cost as much as the machine itself and trading it in for a new one would have only covered half the price. :( Before the Kirby, mom would always have a Bissell, so naturally my rebellious ass went through two other brands (Shark, Dirt Devil) that had both taken a crap within a year of eachother. I went pouting back to a Bissell and aside from having to send that one back to the company for a free replacement (which I've had for the last six years), the only problems I've had with it were my own screwups. An example of a screwup was when I deep-cleaned the machine after moving into my current apartment I submerged the brush in water. Luckily I was still able to order a replacement from the company. 😁 The machine sounds like hell by now, but it still works great. My neighbor nicknamed it "the beast", so I don't vacuum too early in the day or too late at night anymore lol. ...aw crap...I hope they still manufacture belts for it when I eventually run through the 3 I've got put away...

I have hoarding tendencies and find it hard to get rid of things. The easiest way for me to start purging was I pulled everything from the closet. Keep, maybe donate trash piles. I went thru several times over a couple of months until I got down to a manageable number to keep. Now I go through a couple times a year and it's not as overwhelming for me. I do the same for everything else. Find what works for you!

I gather the clean clothes out of the dryer into my arms and take them straight to my bed, fold or hang them, and put them away immediately. Nothing ever sits in a laundry basket. Hands-on, a load of laundry takes less than 10 minutes. Letting it pile up does not actually save you any time. The busier you are, the more streamlined and organized you have to be.

[@buckeyedav1]

As I'm older I find it harder to do things I put my clean clothes in a large Aldi's grocery bag, carry it upstairs dump it all out on the bed, lay hangers beside them and immediately start hanging clothes in the closet this time of year is a little harder because of all the sleeveless shirts that have to be attached to the little hooks on the hangers eventually I want to buy some of those velvet lined clothes hangers that don't allow clothes to slip off the hangers and take up less space in the closet.

A less overwhelming method for clothes: pretend you are leaving the house for a two week trip, where you are doing everything you normally do, as though, say, you were getting your floors refinished. Pack for two weeks. When everyone is packed, throw away every other clothing item. Most people do laundry weekly, so that gives you enough extra. You automatically pack what fits, is in good repair, goes together and that you like. Saves putting mental effort into deciding if this one random sock sparks joy.

[@cowpokeone]

Perfect method!

I am the total opposite. I have OCD, and it drives me absolutely bananas sometimes. I keep my space in order and I let him have his space.

[@anitasims2392]

Do you evwr have the random thought 'Vacuum lines make me happy'?? Lol 😂 they make me happy because it usually means you are done with that room! And its just nice for it to be cleaned! Thank you for being real! 💯

[@mrsangerstein]

Working and listening to your commentary is great for my mental health, because “never spin kick your laundry to dry it” is just phenomenal advice to pass the day. Thank you for all you do 😂

[@tysmith4339]

You do so many things to show what a great person you are. To shout out other KZbin channels is just an amazing gesture. You’re not selfish trying to keep everything for yourself. I wish you nothing but continued success and happiness. Love your channel and work! ❤

Folding and hanging clothes immediately is so freeing. I just started doing that in the last year. What a difference it makes! Looking forward to that collaboration!

[@camille_la_chenille]

This video is quite relatable. This summer I tackled the decluttering of the basement where my parents have accumulated 23 years of family stuff for a lack of time to sort through old clothes and toys and old papers. Your videos made me look at the basement with a new eye and the grid method worked very well for what I already did by myself, a wardrobe and a bookshelf.

Mack, I’m not sure I have ever seen a comment thanking you for introducing us all to APC, but I am surely doing so now. This stuff is totally AMAZING! Cleans and shines everything with no streaks. I have been fighting with my stainless steel refrigerator for years and it’s spotless now! I’m a cleaning fool now! 😂

[@josephdaly2015]

I can imagine the sigh of relief this family will have when they walk in the door. Just having a reset done is amazing. Thanks for tip on not spin kicking the laundry, so much more cleaning. I finish my clothes in the dryer and fold straight away too. Hope you’re minding yourself. Taking your own advice can be difficult but make your bed. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 👏💪👍🙏💐🛏

Earliest I've been, glad to see how realistic the cleanings you've been doing has been

[@debby891]

I guess I never really thought about it as I have all four seasons of clothes in one dresser and maybe four nice dress outfits in the closet and two pair of shoes. I love to do this kind of cleaning as it’s more organizing and very rewarding because the end result is awesome. Great job folding Mac, Bonnie would be impressed😂. I remember my kids and grandkids having all the toys too and helping them to clean up. You’re right, it’s hard when you’re a busy family and I’m sure you made their day. I know I would have loved that when raising my kids and working two jobs. Great job❤ Subscribed to Fife Free Cleaning and they hit 1.4k today!

You have a point it takes many hours to manage a house and a family. Fascinating how most people do not understand this. Thank you for sharing, blessed you 💟

[@lisamichele9941]

Hi Mac! Glad to know someone else besides me doesn't like clean clothes to have wrinkles, but I dont iron. 😅 I will fold clothes out of the dryer also because if they are too wrinkled, its like I didnt even wash them. Best wishes and keep up the great work!

[@jordanlever7857]

Hi Mac! You are the best teacher on the planet. Definitely have learned a lot from you and it’s changed my life.

[@user-vy3tj3sm4o]

So nice of you to help clean this house and awesome job on folding the clothes

[@ashoalcraft4404]

29:32 The scrunchie on the dresser drawer knob slays me. I'm imagining that the socks put it there for the same reason my roommates and I put a scrunchy on the doorknob in college.

[@susieq2022]

Thanks for giving a shoutout to Midlife Stockman! I agree with you. He is so kind and hardworking. Thanks for all you do to help so many people as well! ❤

I had a file box of my favorite size 7 jeans that I had saved for 15 years & forgotten about. Got cancer, went down to a size 5, & when I was back to a size 12… I found them.

[@xxkitsunaxx187]

For me, when I make my bed, I always think to myself as it's the first accomplishment of the day and that makes me feel 10 times better and that I am ready for the day ahead of myself. But once again, loving the content as per usual ❤

Came over from Ben's Flawless Cleaning - Thank you for helping BEN all the help at Jim’s place!!

[@zerocasualteas]

Mack, I love the work you do! Thank you for these amazing videos & how you help others. I’m not a cleaning channel, but I now watch & support many cleaning channels thanks to you! 🎉

[@beckyshell4649]

Limiting what you have is the best way to keep clean and organized. I got rid of all of my dishes and glasses and bought some loose Correlle plates and bowls along with drinking glasses. It is so much nicer to put away dishes when they fit easily into the cabinets.

[@judithrussell2626]

You are an amazing gentleman. You a re a great healer for those who watch you.

[@LS-tw1ng]

I’m not autistic, although my daughter is, but I do suffer from anxiety from past trauma. Both she and I love to clean like this. It fulfills something in us. Put us together, and watch out! There are more of us out there than you think😉Keep up the great work🫶

[@theunsteadysteader]

I bout died when I seen the spilled pop can in the window ledge. I am telling myself you took care of that off camera. We all know that even tho house moose love pop, it is not good for them. 💜👍💜

[@MissPatsyLane]

What a great joy this family must have come home to! Nothing like a clean home to bring about some peace to a chaotic life! Bless you! ❤

[@janh.5797]

Great channel and video for us with ADHD ! The one thing I've done right is fold the clothes immediately after I pull them out of the dryer. The idea of putting all memorabilia from family who have already passed in one container was helpful. I struggle with filing paper and mail...I have very mixed stacks that need sorting, and I need to declutter my closet! Thank you for your help!

[@darkhorse8413]

I tell people this all the time. Just vacuum and it'll look great. No one seems to believe me though. Oh well, I know it's true. 😊

[@wolfe6220]

I made it on time! Woo hoo! You? Slightly crazy? 😅

[@Cburns8819]

Have you mentioned Transcend furniture gallery? I love her, she takes stuff she finds on the side of the road and transforms it into masterpieces. Plus, she also rescues rabbits. She’s pretty cool.

[@happydays59]

Love her too.
