This week we chat about decluttering and organising your Laundry. Do you have a large laundry or a small one? Is your laundry also a storage room?
Learn about what Kirsty & Amy keep in their laundries and how they use the different cupboards and their washing process.
(Please note: Ironing is THE ONE thing in Farrugia home that Simon doesn't do - he can do it and do it well, but it is one thing that Kirsty would choose to do ;-))
From their years of experience, Kirsty & Amy share their experiences around decluttering and organising your laundry.
Today you also have the chance to sign up to receive the BONUS SECRET EPISODE that Kirsty & Amy recorded for their Art of Decluttering friends. Visit www.theartofdecluttering.com.au to subscribe and listen.

Where do you dump your keys, wallet and handbag when you come home after a day out? Do you have somewhere to hang bags and leave muddy boots?

Have you ever given much thought to how you organise your fridge? What containers go where and which food types are stored in which compartments.
Fridges can be a breeding ground for mould and spoilt food if not properly cleaned and kept organised. An organised fridge can both save you money at the supermarket and reduce the wasted food you throw out.
