Decluttering - where to start

[weleasewoderick22]

I really need to de clutter every single room in my house ( terraced 2 bedroom) but don't know where to start.
Do you do one room at a time? Should I empty the whole room then bring stuff back in? What works best?

Sorry about all the questions, but I need real life advice rather than Marie Kondo etc

Many thanks.

Because they are made of plastic and don't biodegrade! Don't use wipes at all if you care a jot about the environment.

Ah ok (I thought they were slimy or something ! )

I have some microfibre and some cotton cloths (ones from Lakeland that are impregnated with something to repell odour)

I knew about wipes and non-flushing but its been years since I've ever bought them.

This thread is for me.
I started watching the Kondo programme on Netflix but it was so sickly and slow I couldn't get through an episode.

Inspired by another thread, re-posting here.
DC are now grown up but not completely moved out. One is at uni and one has a flat but hasn't taken everything. I don't like to get rid of their things without permission and they claim to want to keep everything. Though actually I've binned the bulk of the school books and I doubt they will ever notice.

I've got rid of hundreds of books. That made a good bit of space. As a family we like board games but they take up a whole sideboard on their own.
I have no loft but the garage roof space is boarded out with proper stairs so is just a store room.

In there is;
Out of season duvets for four beds.
Christmas stuff.
The baby photos (pre digital)
A box of baby memorabilia.
A few good toys like wooded Brio and lego for potential GC.
The computer graveyard. Old hard drives, disc, monitors, wires. So many wires.
DC old sports stuff cricket, skiing, etc.
Speakers and old electrical stuff no longer in use.

So most of this is unused and belongs to DH or DC.
I'm pretty ruthless with clothes that don't get worn but not so good with anything else, though DH would disagree.
Where should I start?
I'm never going to sell stuff so it's charity or bin.
I tried freecycle once but gave up after being let down by the first four people.

I couldn't get into the Netflix MarieKondo programme either .

I will watch Cluttered ( I'd watched the 'Hoarders' programmes on Ch5 and one where the Compulsive Cleaners went in. They were hardcore!)

I don't think my house is cluttered actually. It's all in cupboards or hidden away. It's still there though. We've lived here 30 years, would probably not have so much if we'd moved house.

Watching an episode of ‘How Clean is your House?’ on YouTube always gets me in the mood for organising/cleaning!
