Sometimes our home feels like a small museum of unused objects: full drawers, crammed shelves and closets that are true hiding places for forgotten items. The truth is that we create collections without realizing it.
There are cables that no longer have corresponding devices, clothes that don't fit us and even that vase that doesn't match anything in the room. What many people may not know is that accumulated clutter can affect our well-being without us realizing it.

Therefore, we decided to bring you seven items that may be asking to be released from your home. Check out what they are now!
You know that pile of paperwork you keep in your kitchen or office drawer? Instruction manuals for devices you no longer own take up space and accumulate dust. Take a look at this paperwork and feel the relief of throwing away what is no longer useful. Many of these manuals are available online anyway!
Who doesn't have a drawer full of old cables and chargers that look like a nest of snakes? If you don't know what device they belong to or if they're using obsolete technology (hello, flip phone charger!), it might be time to get rid of them. In addition to freeing up space, you avoid the frustration of never finding the right cable when you need it most.
Safety comes first! Expired medicines can not only lose their effectiveness, but also harm your health. Do a thorough review of your medicine cabinet and check for those that are past their expiration date. Many pharmacies have collection points for safe disposal. Therefore, do not dispose of them in the general trash.
It is common to find a variety of cleaning products under the sink, many half empty or almost empty. If you haven't used them in months (or years!), maybe it's time to say goodbye. Remember to check the correct way to dispose of them, as many contain chemical substances that should not be thrown away carelessly.
Whether due to emotional attachment or the thought of “what if I need it”, we tend to accumulate beauty products that we don’t use. Makeup, creams, and other personal care items have expiration dates. If you don't remember when you bought them, or if the smell and texture are different, it's time to throw them away.
It can be difficult to let go of clothes, especially if we associate memories with them. However, pieces that no longer fit, are worn out, or that you haven't used in over a year deserve to find a new home. Donate what is in good condition and recycle what is not. Your mind and your closet will thank you!
