Clearing Clutter is a Cockroach Control Strategy

The costs of ignoring the clutter control formula are not only the dollars and cents you pay for storing your stuff. If you create an organized home by getting rid of clutter on a regular basis, the overall result is a healthier and more peaceful environment for you to create the life you want.

Clearing clutter also makes your home cleaner and less likely to be invaded by pests.

When you get rid of clutter you improve your life by improving your environment. Not just a fad for organized living, this process can increase your sense of well being through creating order in your space, and it will save you money too!

If you declutter now you could save yourself some real money.

If you are using your home for storing instead of living it is costing you! Just because you are not renting storage a space does not mean that the storage in your home is free!

Even if your home is paid for (congratulations!) you are still paying for the space, as there are annual taxes, insurance, heating and other costs associated with your dwelling.

How much can you save if you declutter now?

Step #1

Estimate the value of your home and divide it by the square footage of your house or apartment. This figure is the real dollar value of each square foot of your home.

Step #2

Take this figure from step #1 and multiply it by the number of square feet currently being used for storage. The resulting figure is the actual cost of storage in your home.

Here's how it works:

Based on an estimated monthly payment of $1500 (mortgage or rent) for a 1500 square foot house, this comes down to one dollar per square foot. Here is the cost of storage per month for some average size rooms.


Size of room or closet cost per month
2ft x 5ft (average reach in closet) $10
2ft x 8ft (large reach in closet) $16
9ft x 12ft (small bedroom) $108
12ft x 12ft (large bedroom) $144

This estimate is based only on the monthly mortgage payment. You would have to add in the cost of heating, annual taxes, repairs, and maintenance etc. to get the actual cost. When you add up all the square footage in your home that is used to store things you may not be using, it becomes clear that there is no such thing as free storage!

Declutter now and start using that valuable square footage in your home for organized living instead of disorganized storing. Practicing clutter control in your home creates a healthier environment and saves money too!
