Getting rid of a few things is enough to significantly transform your home.
The Japanese believe that regularly getting rid of unnecessary things helps keep not only the house, but also the mind, clean and tidy.
Waste paper
Over the course of a week, you can accumulate a pile of newspapers, leaflets, receipts, boxes and other waste paper that should be sent for recycling rather than stored at home.
Little things all over the apartment
It's worth walking around your home and collecting useless little things: buttons, used batteries, parts from broken toys, etc.
Sponges for washing dishes
This item deserves special attention. Doctors recommend changing sponges for washing dishes every 7 days. Otherwise, their further use may become dangerous to health.
Withered flowers
If all the tricks for extending the "life" of a bouquet have been used up and the flowers have really turned into hay, it's time to get rid of this unattractive sight. The Japanese get rid of the bouquet after a week, because they believe that wilted plants attract negativity into the house.
Cosmetic bottles
Some housewives have a habit of leaving empty bottles of shampoo or shower gel. It seems that they can supposedly come in handy in the future or they just don’t get around to throwing them away. Therefore, once a week it is worth conducting an audit of all such products. In the process, they get rid of expired cosmetics and hygiene products, throw away empty bottles.
