If you like keeping a clean and tidy home, then you might sometimes find it difficult not to go overboard with your organizing efforts. While you may think that there is no such thing as cleaning too much, there are some items that are best left untouched. Here are some household items that you should never declutter.
Documents
While papers certainly cause a lot of clutter in bedroom and office drawers, be careful of what you throw out. Never get rid of important documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, social security cards, and passports. Instead, get a fireproof safe or filing system in place so that you can keep all of these papers organized without throwing anything out by accident.
Kitchen Supplies
If there are certain kitchen appliances that you haven’t used in a while, think before throwing them out. After all, some appliances such as barbeques, grills, and urns are only used on special occasions so you might not realize that you may need them in the future, even if you’re not sure when. After all, you don’t want to buy new appliances for no reason.
Sentimental Items
From photographs with your loved ones to meaningful gifts and greeting cards that you receive on special occasions, don’t throw out sentimental items as these cannot be replaced. Make sure to put these items in a special place to keep them safe and out of view, rather than throwing them out.
