Welcome to week 3 of THE CLUTTER CHALLENGE! I am so excited for you to join me!
How did week 2 go for you? Were you able to get a little or a lot of kitchen decluttering accomplished? For me, it felt really good to go through cupboards and drawers and pare down duplicates and to donate some rarely or never used items.
Are you ready for week 3 of The Clutter Challenge? Even if you didn’t finish everything up from last week or if you haven’t started, jump right into week 3 and follow the checklist. Each week, we’re working through different areas of our homes following the checklist. We’re starting this week in the bathroom(s). Keep reading for links to posts and tips for getting your bathroom(s) decluttered this week.
TIP: Clean your bathrooms using my bathroom speed cleaning process first and then get started with your decluttering.
You’ll find that there’s a specific order in the free printable list for the month. It’s important that you follow this order for decluttering your home but complete it in a way that makes sense for your schedule. Some recommendations: one task a day, set a timer for 10-15 minutes, or 2-3 tasks a day until completed. This order matters because it will take you through the house in a logical, sequential, and efficient way. If you haven’t grabbed the checklist yet, there’s a link down below 🙂
The goal for this week is to work on the Bathrooms Checklist and do one or two of these things every day this week.
BATHROOM(S)
- completely clear + clean bathroom counters
- bathroom cabinets – tackle all of them or just one or two
- bathroom drawers – tackle all of them or just one or two
- medicine cabinet – empty, get rid of expired items, and return items
- toiletries and makeup (see my tutorial when you click that link) – keep the best and get rid of anything you don’t use
- bath towels, hand towels, wash cloths – repurpose anything worn or with holes and keep the best
Every Monday for the month of January, I’ll post some tips for the week ahead right here on the blog (make sure you’re subscribing below). Read on for more, grab your checklist, and follow along! I’ll be posting daily as much as I can on Instagram Stories my personal progress with the hope that it inspires and helps you along the way too!

I love this challenge! All of my kitchen drawers are now clean and organized. It’s great. I couldn’t get to the cupboards, but maybe on the catch up week…And under my sink where I didn’t think I’d have much to do, it turns out I did, and it looks great now. Even my husband was wowed by the “junk drawer” redo. Onward to the bathrooms!
Hannah Says...
I love your clutter challenge. I also love the organizers for the drawers and the bins for the cabinet. I have one tiny bathroom in my home, so having it organized is a necessity for me keeping my sanity.
Laura Says...
Your bins are great! Where did you get them? Thank you so much for providing inspiration and practical instructions!

Love the organized bins and labels! Where did you find those bins? Also, the containers you use for cotton, Qtips, etc.. on the counter: are they acrylic or glass? Where did you find those? Thank you for all you do!
