How to Declutter Using Our FREE Purging Guide
Here at GoCleanCo we have a saying: “You can’t clean what you can’t see”. And what it means is that it’s harder to clean when you have to work around piles of clutter. Moving the piles from one place to another adds so much time to your cleaning. So our best advice is to declutter and purge before you deep clean.
However, not everyone knows the best methods of purging. So we’ve come up with a process (and PDF) to make it doable and stress-free.
Get the free PDF here.

First, it’s important to take it one room, and one area at a time. If you attempt to purge your whole house all at once, you will become overwhelmed, give up, and leave your space worse off than when you started. The purging guide has a thorough checklist of spaces in your home with common items that you can get rid of while decluttering. We’ve included tips and tricks to help you to be effective in your purging efforts.
Second, you need a decision-making process. We’ve developed a flow chart to help you along the way. If it isn’t clear whether you should keep an item or not, ask yourself the questions in the flow chart to help you decide.

We’ve included this flow chart in our free Purging Guide.
Using the flow chart and checklist, make your way through your home, deciding which items to keep, store, donate or toss.
Once you decide to get rid of something, DON’T LOOK BACK. And purge regularly because sometimes things don’t hold the same meaning as they did 6 months ago. Or you might find that you still haven’t used an item that you were waffling over 3 months ago.
Be ruthless. You can do this.

Sneaky surprise clean for my Mom for Mother’s Day! She deserved this so much, she has scrubbed a lot of houses with me over the years. Many of you may not know this but my Mom has tagged along and helped with cleaning and training the team since day one. She knows the entire team inside and out and we all love to call her “Mom”. She taught me how to clean, how to run a business and most importantly, how to stand on my own two feet. Then I took everything she taught me and turned it into ✨ THIS ✨

I used Mr. Clean undiluted, sprayed it on and let it sit for about ten minutes, scrubbed and wiped it off well to rinse. Letting your cleaning products sit is part of the process, they do a lot of the heavy lifting for you. I think many of us get discouraged with cleaning products because we spray and wipe immediately with minimal results…dirt and grease needs time to soften and break down before you can remove it. However, there is always a little bit (or a lot) of elbow grease required, nothing in life is free 🙃

Recipe:
1 gallon of hot water in a bucket
1 teaspoon of powered tide laundry detergent
Microfibre cloth or a ripped up old towel—you need a cloth with texture to get into the grooves of the paint but do not scrub too hard or scrape because you’ll chip the paint.
Wipe the walls down and let it soften the boogers/food/dog slobber, then repeat. The hot water will help soften the crud, the tide will lift the dirt.
No need to rinse.
