If you dont use it, lose it.

Its fair to say we all have too much stuff.
Either way, it all adds up to a big mess.

So, here are seven duplicates you might declutter right now without any regrets.
Sometimes duplicates make sense.
Towels
We all need towels but lots of us have too many.
Many homeowners like to refresh their bath towels every year, especially if they’rewhite, Forst explains.
This becomes a problem when they don’t purge the old ones.
Andrieu and Forst typically recommend having two towels per family member and two extra sets for guests.
Instead of tossing out old towels, try donating them to your local animal shelter.
Old hand towels can also make good cleaning rags.
Bedding
Sheets and duvets dont last forever.
Recycle your extras or donate them to your local animal shelter.
Some clients like to hang on to the old one, just in case the new one breaks.
Baking Supplies
Sometimes it makes sense to have multiple kitchen tools.
However, she was a baker and would often cook two things at once.
So this made sense for her.
Mugs
Most people dont need more than a few coffee mugs.
So why do you have 20?
So, go ahead and throw out or donate your old mugs.
Turn the bottles upside down or cut them open and finish what you have before purchasing replacements.
