Just because we have electronics all over our homes, doesn’t mean that they need to be disorganized or cluttered. Not only can excessive electronics lead to a messier home, it will make it that much harder to clean, as you will be maneuvering around more things, slowing down the whole cleaning process. 

Luckily, keeping your electronics organized and tidy is a pretty simple task! As the top Windsor CO house cleaning service, we are well versed in cleaning and organizing everything in a home. 

Keep reading to learn more about decluttering the electronics throughout your house, from your living room to your home office. 

How do I declutter and organize the electronics in my home?

Just like cleaning up digital clutter, dealing with electronics throughout your home will usually be an ongoing process. Whether you work from home, or just have a couple kids’ worth of electronics scattered about, you will likely be dealing with keeping your electronics organized on a regular basis. 

Luckily, dealing with cluttered electronics is actually a pretty easy cleaning task. Use the following steps to get your electronics reorganized and put away. 

• Take room by room inventory of all of the electronics that you have. Decide if you want to keep them, donate them, or throw them out or recycle. 
• Once you know what is being kept, you can start by replugging into the walls things that are constantly in use. Make sure to tuck the cords away for a cleaner appearance. These will typically include phone chargers by your bed or power strips in home offices. 
• For other miscellaneous loose electronics, such as remote controls, it is best to have  a designated spot for them in each room. This spot is ideally completely out of the way. For example, keeping a TV remote control in the living room in a storage ottoman. Not only will this keep things more organized, your room will look cleaner, and it will be easier to find what you are looking for. 
• Lastly, for seldom used electronics that you still want to keep, it is best to put them all together in a labeled bin or box. This can be stored away depending on your home layout, in a closet, garage or attic. This may include spare chargers, old tablets, and anything else that does not get used on a regular basis. It is amazing how much these extra electronics can clutter up a home!

How long does it take to declutter electronics?

While this question is always dependent on factors such as home size and how many people live in your house, it is a pretty easy task in the cleaning game, as it is not physical, and for most people can be done in under 15 minutes. If you have tons of electronics scattered throughout the home, it could take significantly more time. 

Once the decluttering is done, if you can be disciplined enough to keep at it, you shouldn’t have to spend much time dealing with this in the future. 

How can I speed up the process?

If you are pressed for time getting your home ready to be put on the market, time will be of the essence. Like anything in cleaning, the sure fire way to speed up the process is with consistency. If you know that you need the home decluttered for a showing or a dinner party, start tackling the decluttering early. Once you have done an initial decluttering, you can easily keep your home in good shape as long as you keep clutter and organization on your mind, so it doesn’t get away from you. 

Additionally, if you have other people who live in your home, let them in on the process and conversation. Alert them to how important it is to have a clean and clutter free environment to live in, and how it will take effort from everyone to help maintain that serene and calming living space.
