I live in a council house & my decluttering hack is so good I’m kicking myself for not knowing it earlier…it saves hours
A SAVVY woman has shared her super simple decluttering hack.
So if sorting out your wardrobe has been on your to-do-list for weeks, you’ll need to listen up.
Decluttering is a job that many of us will put off for as long as possible, but according to Celene Francis, it doesn’t have to take hours.
Thanks to her quick and easy trick, throwing away old clothes that you don’t wear has never been so simple.
26-year-old Celene Francis, a single mother who lives in a two-bedroom council house in Rotherham, took to social media to share her decluttering tip - leaving many open-mouthed.
In the short video, we saw the young woman looking inside her wardrobe, as she said: “So you know when you come across a life hack and you kick yourself for not doing it for years?

“Well, today is that day, because I came across a life hack today that is brilliant.”
Celene then revealed that her hanger trick makes decluttering super straightforward, as she added: “So what you do - at the beginning of the year, you turn all your hangers backwards.
“And then as you wear things, you put them back in the wardrobe normally.
“Then at the end of the year, everything that is still backwards gets donated.
“Then turn them back around and start again.
“It is so simple and would have saved me absolutely hours when decluttering my wardrobe.”
Throughout the clip, we saw Celene put her jumpers into her wardrobe - with some of the hangers placed in backwards.
Then, at the end of the video, Celene put those jumpers that were on hangers backwards in a pile, to be removed from her home.
