Those aren't excuses, they're valid reasons that so many of us mamas experience 😊 you're doing awesome! 🙌
Thank you so much!!
Sick, pregnant and a new born are not excuses. something has to go on the back burner to survive. Seeing this made me glad I don't have a basement in this house. I used to hate cleaning them out, it's just a pit of deferred decisions. Now I have to use it or lose it, a basement only made me keep things for two years before I threw them out.
we are all learning these lessons FROM/WITH you! the time and energy this has taken from you is not worth repeating!
You totally CRUSHED this project!!! Such an inspiration! Now you can enjoy the summer without having to think of all that, and switching seasonal stuff will be much easier! I totally agree with you on the clear bins. I switched all mine to clear ones too because even though I labeled them, I still like seeing what’s inside 😊
Congratulations on putting your family back together. That is the most important thing.
What a monumental task! The outcome was amazing. You always motivate me to declutter and organize!
Sea glass ❤ I love it too!! Haha I’ve seen so many projects and little crafts made with it: Christmas trees, shapes like a butterfly or a crab on a flat surface, framed out, sun catchers….get crafty mamma and I hope those little pieces of glass remind you of some happy moments collecting them❤
Hi there, I use a kids camping tent , from Walmart, to hold my cat’s litter boxes, everything stays very confined and my cat seems to enjoy the privacy.
That’s actually a great idea
I love the phrase, "Building trash mountain!" I feel the same way when I declutter!
Another thought- you mentioned "freshening" the articles of clothing and/or covers from the basement which were musty or questionable to use for your family unless deemed clean and safe... What I do is use large wool dryer balls in the dryer, adding a combination of essential oils on them in order to make them aromatic. I also intend to repel possible insects if I am going to store the blanket, duvets, pillows, etc. so one of the oils is cedar (thanks, Aunt Myra). The other two oils are orange (my favorite) and clove (goes well with orange and balances the cedar's crispness)... Just an option as I know not everyone wants to go to this detail. However, I have had great success in pulling out items from storage only to find them fresh and ready-to-use. I do throw away what is not salvageable or in question. Good work for my household- a little planning goes a long way! Bye
Awesome!! I know how it makes you feel!! The great thing is that one day when you do move, it will be so much easier!🎉👏
That’s what I keep thinking!! I will be thanking myself for all of this 👏🏻
You go, Catherine!
I’ve been binge watching all of your videos the last few weeks because I have a newborn that won’t let me put her down. I so badly want to clean my house and especially my basement, so I’m living vicariously through you lol
Wanted to share a basement cleaning method used by my Great Aunt Myra: she swore by using a multi-purpose spray (often also antibacterial like for kitchens and bathrooms) in her basement. She added about 12 drops of cedar essential oil into the dispenser bottle (or eucalyptus or peppermint if out of cedar) and shook it hard to mix before each use. She claimed it not only removed dust but dirt, oils and whatever clings to these substances! The cedar helped her with insect issues as they (spiders, ants and maybe roaches?) don't like these strong smells and chemical makeup... It seemed to work pretty well and her basement always smelled great! Just a suggestion if you are interested... - Wonderful video, thank you for sharing it! Looking forward to more! Bye
I am a new subscriber and officially motivated to clean my garage.
Great job Catherine!
Thank you!!
That does look better. Woah Good Job!!!
Catherine, I woud get rid of that vaccume, once dropping go through the wind it can get into the motor, cleaning the filter isn't enouogh. A shop vac would have been better to use in the basement, you can pick one up for not too much money, the smaller one, great for water in the basement or picking up dirt, the bucket where they stuff goes can be cleaned out with detergent includig the hose. I would be concerned with the kids usinng your vaccum upstairs. What a great job you did! It is easy to keep up with now that it is organized!
Amazing declutter of your basement! It looks great. Very inspiring.
You did an amazing job!
Great job! It looks fantastic 😊
Hey Catherine, as always you've done an awesome job. Looks so very nice and organized ❤❤
Great job - really enjoyed this series; that area looks fabulous ❤
Thank you for inspiring me to get started in my garage. Love your videos
I think the vacuum cleaning/replacement items you mentioned should be enough, especially if it's old mouse material and nothing fresh 👍
Amazing job! I can’t believe you did all of that in one day by yourself. 😅
That was an enormous job! You can definitely see the amount you decluttered.
Catherine, GREAT series with amazing results!! 👍♥️
Wow! Well done!
Thank you so much!
Your basement looks amazing, excellent job! Would love to see more from your parents home if possible. :)
Hopefully I can film more there soon!!
Great job , your hard work paid off
Awesome declutter, what a difference. Keep that vacuum for sure, it’s a good one. Mice are very destructive, they chewed the soy covered wires in my car, it was horrible. Thanks for a great declutter❤❤❤
Where did you get the shelves in your basement? You’re doing an amazing job ❤️ Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend 🥰
We hang our guitars on the wall! So they double as decoration and are much less likely to be damaged then just having them on the shelves like you do now
That’s a good idea!
Great job,,, looks amazing, I am in the process of cleaning our garage,, and it is looking better
Great job on the basement!
Amazing 🤩
great job Catherine.
looking forward again to declutter of your parents home when you finish your basement.
My mom picked a few more spaces she’d like to work on soon!! I’m excited too!
Beautiful job 🎉
Excellent job!!
Girl! Let’s talk about mice. I had one get in the a/c unit in my car. And die. For the second time yesterday. And this morning it was as rank! So i feel your pain.
I have enjoyed your basement declutter so much ❤
A mechanic once told me to put mothballs under the hood of my car to keep mice out. Seems to be working.
Your basement looks great
Thank you so much!!
I just recently did a massive garage declutter and I went through an entire roll of 20 heavy duty bags! Just a quick question, what are those trash bags you used to declutter your garage? I might need them for my next declutter!
I use heavy duty contractor bags. They are huge, less likely to puncture, and reduce hubby's probability of looking in the bags to take things back out because he's second guessing items.
Contractor trash bags
Yes these were contractor bags!
Awesome job! ❤
Curious what aerosol cleaner that is. Hate to buy aerosols but I've been doing identical projects to you and it would be more pleasant to use.
Try cat litter made from recycled newspaper. No dust and better for kitties :)
Keep your Miele, as it is bagged w excellent filters.
I agree!!
Oh yes those kitties are getting those mice!
Great job! Just curious, why did you clean everything with wood polish?
Wow what trash bags do you use?
I would keep the brands/names of the paint and what rooms they are in for the next owner.
👏👏👏👏👏
You have had that vacuum for a long time keep it. It very nice you have a basement that you can storage season things. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just me, BUT I would make that a permanent BASEMENT vacuum. In my defense- I have a lung issue.
Those weren't excuses; they were valid reasons!
A shame about all the clothing and shoes that were left out in the open and got ruined. Now you've got plenty of bins to use to protect your things.
❤like you do with me and my friends
You didn’t keep some paint for touch up? Of course you don’t have to trash your vacuum, just clean it as you described. Please show us the basement again when you’ve taken all your trash away
No I didn’t! They’ve been sitting down there for years, they’re all separated and kinda chunky inside now haha I’d just grab a sample size if I needed a touch up at some point! And I will definitely share that!
@@CatherineElaine ok, I understand. The paint was actually trash then. You did really great in this episode, it must be so nice everytime you go down into the basement now 🙂
Cleaning the vacuum is sufficient. Don't throw it away. That would be silly
Guitars???
🇺🇸❤🤍💙🇺🇸
People keep too much stuff.. my parents won’t get rid of stuff in their basement its gross
You have to declutter even the house 😅
Do not keep bins and you will never fill them again they are tempting. Out of sight out of mind
Appreciate all the decluttering videos that are "trending" now, but doesn't anyone think to talk to the root of the issue, overconsumption? It's all so backwards to me still
Id get a new vacuum. Wear mask. Mouse stuff is dangerous
I find it weird to see people cleaning with kitchen paper. I always use rags and other cloths that can be washed.
Out of all this. What I’m happy about is that your family is back together. Thank the Lord. ❤
The basement looks wonderful Catherine. I know that you are glad to get that done. All your hard work will really be felt when you go to move and do not have to deal with it all then.
Great job!!!! those were not excuses but reasons...your health is way more important!!!!!! Love the way it all turned out!
👍 decluttering. Threw away more than kept
Sure did!!! Thank you for watching!
NOT EXCUSES!!! There are many Chapters in a Woman's life....now this is your Chapter, Rock On!
I'm in basement and garage declutter mode too! 😍
I have decluttered over 8000 items and there's still lots to go. It's scary how fast things can add up. I was a shopaholic who decluttered but it still got ahead of me. I realized I needed to stop all shopping that wasn't necessary until I got the home entirely decluttered.
I know how you feel!! It’s crazy how much we can collect over time without even really knowing we’re doing it. We’ve stopped buying the same way too!!
@@CatherineElaine Yep! It's so fast.
You did a great job Catherine. I know you’re planning to move, but think about adding Somme more lighting to your basement. We did it and it maid such a huge difference
I do enjoy watching your videos but it would be helpful if they had different titles, so it was easier to find part 1, part 2, etc. of a series. I think you are inspiring and do a great job with your videos and decluttering/cleaning.
I recently painted my basement and laundry area a gorgeous turquoise. It now brightens my spirit every time I go down there. I also put up a curtain rod and visually separated off all the storage. Just an idea but maybe find a color that brightens your spirits and paint your laundry basement. You will be amazed by the difference.
That was a big job but it looks fantastic!
Your basement looks sooo good. Great job girl!!! 🙌🫶
Ahh thank you!!
Your husband is killing me...lol.
I feel 2020 was the year of divorce. Everyone I knew, or watch on RUclips, and ME myself, all had our brush with divorce - either thinking about it, were about to go through with it, trial separation, or actually executed the divorce procedure. I myself was looking for a paralegal to do a no-contest divorce, but my husband and I ended up reconciling and stayed together.
One tip to eliminate that ‘cat dust’ is get them a covered litter box! You can make one cheap by cutting a hole in one of your bins ❤😊 the cats love the privacy too because it makes them feel safe :win win!
This was s really satisfying declutter. I counted up how many coats accumulated in this place over the years, not included blazers and cardigans and it was 71. I need to get so much better at discarding the unnecessary and stop being such a pack rat. It's crept up on me once I put down roots and stopped moving from rental to rental every few months. When I was young all my possessions fitted in a couple of car loads I never even had to hire movers. Now look at me! My entire home looks like your basement "before" pics
If you clean the vacuum, put the dirty hose in the bath tub rinse it out first then soak it in a disinfectant that will kill any bacteria. Really good video! My first time watching your channel.😊
Another great video! It was so satisfying to watch. You dont need to throw out your vacuum. Just change your filter & wipe the vacuum with a disinfectant, and you should be fine.
Don't get rid of your vacuum... replacing the filter and giving it a good cleaning is just fine.
You should get space saver bags that way it will save you even more space
Moving and loosing your mortgage rate sounds scary
I agree with you: just clean the vacuum and all will be fine. 🙂
Where did you get the racks I need some
It looks amazing!
Amazing!
Wonderful declutter !
Thank you!!
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi Catherine if you have a shop vac you can use that to clean out your basement or garage and then you won’t have to get rid of your vacuum. Just a suggestion. Loving the basement declutter videos.
We do have one! I wonder where it is haha
Great job
Way to go!
Yea
😍
Amazing job! Well done. 🤗
Thank you! 😊
