Library Cart Method: Organizing with Wheels
● Inspired by Apartment Therapy’s organizing challenge (Feb 3, 2025), this method suggests using a rolling cart to consolidate items before putting them away.
● Discover why this approach might work well in larger homes—and why a simple basket can sometimes be the better option for smaller spaces.

Flat Surface Scramble: A Smarter Decluttering Trick
● A quick decluttering tactic for those with limited space: set a timer, grab a basket, and clear flat surfaces room by room to keep your home organized.
● How this method avoids clutter hotspots and keeps your space tidy without adding more furniture.
Balloon Dusting Hack: Does It Really Work?
● Borrowed from House Outlook’s viral dusting trick (Sept 16, 2024), this offbeat method shows how a simple balloon can help lift dust from tricky surfaces, from keyboards to baseboards.
● Apartment Therapy also tested it, but does it really work? Julie and Janis put it to the test—with hilarious results!
● Perfect for a family activity or party game that turns cleaning into a playful challenge.
