Best tip is once you have de-cluttered every time you buy a new item get rid of an old one. So if I buy 2 new tops, I look for 2 old ones to get rid of 😁 X

Lesley Johnson yep! One in one out rule!
If you're wondering what to do with old sheets and towels that are past giving to Goodwill, call your local animal shelter. They will most likely be able to put them to good use.

Thank you Veronica and Jessica, I phoned my local shelter this morning and they will take my old sheets. I'm glad to have found a good use for them!

Yes! and my next door gas station is always so glad to get my old stained dishcloths and towels, too. I do keep two extra bath towels that are old and ratty to use if the bathtub or toilet overflow, and I use one of them under the ironing board when I spray the ironing.
Im loving this 30 days challenge! Little by little my house is feeling so much better! Thank you for being an inspiration!
I also fold bottom sheets that way. I spat my coffee out when you did that. Legend
I remember those early videos when you showed how you were going from overwhelming clutter to being organized. I think the best thing about these ongoing videos is that decluttering is a habit. I know I need to practice letting go of things. So any time I have a chance to practice that behavior is a good thing for me, regardless of how little I'm actually letting go of. I need the practice!!

I swear I decluttered a year ago and kept just 2 sets per bed. I swear just 2, one for on, one for off. I cleaned again recently and found more sets....where did they come from? You are so right it has to be a habit.

Two children with stomach flu at the same time taught me a new rule: for each occupied bed - one on the bed, one in the wash and one just in case!!

Karen E I remember when two of mine were sick like that at the same time, it was awful! In that instance they just slept on towels and were too sick to care. Poor chickies!
It is three sheet sets. According to my grandmother it's one on the bed one in the hamper and one in the cupboard. I fold mine and put them inside the pillow cases to keep them neat and organized. Love your videos no matter what your talking about it always gets me motivated to clean and organize my home. Thank you!!
This REALLY motivates me. I assumed you had marathon decluttering sessions when your house was at its messiest, and did 15 minute decluttering later. You did 15 minute sessions from the beginning?! That makes me feel it is possible! Thank you!
Honey, I will never judge anyone for how much or how little they declutter. On some of the challenge, like the freezer, it was already done for me, so I focused on something else. Also, I have areas where I don't get rid of that much, and others where I take out full garbage bags, like the garbage bag of junk I threw out from my kids' room this weekend. Thanks for challenging all of us to do this with you! Love and hugs and blessings❣
I absolutely love how honest and real you are in these videos. 💕
Thank you. Every day my home looks better and the fam is loving it.
You have inspired me, today is day six of cleaning and purging. Let me say my hubby loves you. He hates clutter and is so happy I started watching you. I was a clutter bug also and woman you are funny. I don't find many people funny, but every video I'm laughing. Very much enjoying going through the older videos.
Only keep two sheet sets for each bed and work very well one goes to wash the other one to bed.
I hit the like button before I even start watching the video..because I know it's going to be good...I love you clutter bug
Rapunzel...your hair is gorgeous!
Oh my goodness! I love how you fold your sheets! LOL! Not only are you getting your decluttering points across, but you're keeping our interest with humor! :-D
Been loving this series and although all the areas that you have covered so far I did recently, I've gone back, just in case. Also tackled major paper clutter and my attic. So, Thank you for the motivation. Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁
So nice to know I'm not the only one who "folds" their sheets this way!
Oh man that sheet folding technique is awesome. I have tried watching many videos and can never get them to look the same. Thanks for doing these videos, super inspiring!
Decluttering never ends. You have to keep doing it regularly. You are so inspirational ❤️❤️
Cannot get enough of these videos! I am super motivated to get de-cluttering!! Going to be sad when October is over 😂

I LOVE THE WAY YOU FOLD YOUR SHEETS, just like me! who has time to fold them in that method they show on YT! lol!
I have two sets for my bed and two for my son's. I thought I needed more, you just made me feel great for having the right amount of sheets. Thank you!!!
I keep 2 sets of sheets for each bed. That’s all I really need. I did a big haul off in the spring and it sure makes you feel better. Have a great day 👍
I never really understood the multiple sheet sets. Well, one extra for kids I understand in case they're sick. Whenever I wash my bedset it just goes right back on a couple hours later. I like that mindset! It's definitely good for a habit! I've been doing a major declutter over the past couple months (and I already live fairly simply) and have been following along with you. My sister keeps saying "You have nothing to get rid of!" but I still keep finding things that I don't need/want. It's an ongoing process.

Rebecca I thought I am the only one who put back the same washed sheets after few hours. I don't keep extras. And I have no kids yet.

Some people (like me) don’t use/have dryers, which means you can’t rely on the fact that your sheets will be dry in a couple of hours - so a spare is needed

Emma I can understand that! I just feel like most people I know (particularly my family) have so many extras that they never use, even when they wash their regular set.

There's always that day when you go down to the laundry room and the machine is broken. It's nice to have a spare set to use. There's always that night when you throw up in bed or start your period unexpectedly or any other gross thing. It's nice to have a spare set then too.
I take old towels and make them into rags. I love taking sheet sets and putting them inside coordinating pillow cases. Saves so much space.
"This is how you fold a bottom sheet" 😂😂😂 You literally make my day Cass! Thank you for lifting my spirits by making me nearly pee my pants from laughing!
Lol, "I know there's a right way to fold a bottom sheet, (whispers) I don't care". 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you!!!
Tucking everything into a pillow case is such an amazing idea.. the number of times I can’t find the matching pillowcase is too many to mention! going to steal that one for sure! ❤️
Cas, gotta be honest, I'm falling behind. Im still in the kitchen. Enjoying this so much!
You won’t find a more ‘real’ person on KZread: you lady are a Godsend: I absolutely love the fact that you don’t fold it! Thanks for keeping it so real so relatable and helping those of us that were completely OVERWHELMED until we found you: I tell everyone about you! 💞
You are definitely right about a person needing extra pillowcases. 👍
So I always check to see if you have new videos up when I go to KZread. You are my #1 favorite! It has been like Christmas every morning to have this series! YAY! On the topic of linens, we just redecorated my daughter's room and we replaced her twin comforter. The old one had a few stains on it, so I didn't feel I could sell them or give them to Goodwill, so I took it into The Humane Society. I thought the lady was going to jump over the counter, she was so excited to get such a large cloth item. She said sometimes they get larger dogs and animals and they don't have beds large enough for them, so this was perfect! They also love shoe boxes.....so linens and shoe boxes are great for our furry friends! :)
I was fairly decluttered to begin with. i’m going through this program and I have already taken a load of stuff to Goodwill and it feels great! Thank you Cass 😘😘
I have just done our bathroom and purged about 30 items it now looks so much more functional now. Linens are later in the week as i just bought 2 more bed sheets so i can get rid of the old ones as i wont be using them! I going through the whole house and i have gave my self 2 weeks as then its the youngest birthday so toys need sorting and then the eldest is having his tonsils out so i want a clean house thats easy to keep on top of
I like having set amount of space or set amount of number for things to keep things manageable. I have 2 sets of sheets ..1 set I am using and 1 clean set under my bed in the clear plastic bag that it came in . My mom has probably 20 sets that are new and old and take up the entire linen closet. I no longer want to live with things ... just the ones I love or need.
That is EXACTLY how I fold my sheets as well!!! You are a breath of fresh air. My day is better when I start by watching one of your videos. You are hilarious!
Your folding technique makes me so very happy 😁😁😁
We love you, Cas! Thanks for leading us through this 30-Day Process!
Loved this video - empty drawers are the love of my life too! :)
This series is so helpful and motivating. When I first started watching you it jump started my decluttering. My linen closet wasn’t terrible but tonight I completely reorganized it and was able to pull items that were being stored in other rooms. Thank you for your daily dose of motivation! 💕🎉
My dad is a Marine so I can fold towels and sheets like a professional!😂 When I put my fitted sheet on my bed, there are no wrinkles and you could bounce a quarter on it! Apparently I'm OCD about it because it drives me crazy when I watch KZread videos and the sheets are all wrinkled! Thanks dad! 😂
Hahah cracked up when you started to fold and then quickly jumbled up the sheets!! And usually it’s 1 sheet on the bed, 1 in the laundry, and 1 in storage! :)
Haha love your technique. We fold the top and bottom sheet and pop it all in the pillowcase. This is husband proof!!
My dad (the only one that can use the sewing machine) turned top sheets to bottoms by sewing the elastic.....i love it
Winter sheets, Christmas sheets, and 2 sets for the rest of the year is my limit so I am caught up on this challenge today. I store my sheets in the bottom drawer of the drier! In their pillow cases
This group has been good for my motivation . Thank you.
You crack me up! I fold my sheets the same way...and then stuff them in a pillowcase. Lol
Oh how I love you videos, Cass! So excited that there's a new one every day for a month!! You are amazing!
I love how you fold sheets. That’s how I do it too, and you’ve just validated me. Thanks! 😘
I love this series! This one was the most hilarious so far! Thanks!
Hands down, my favourite video of yours 🤣🤣🤣
I love you Cass, you're so real. Glad I have you in my life now and wish I would have found you earlier.
Thank you!! Your little speech at the end was what I needed to hear! I love watching you and knew I should be doing this right along with you, but had no motivation. Tomorrow I will begin with day one work my way through the videos and the list. Thank you for being such an inspiration!!💖💟😀
LMFAO @ "folding" the sheets 😂Love you! Thanks for keeping it real, because you know 99.99% of us "fold" this way. The other 0.01% are lying 🤥
Love these videos!! I am a "little" behind ... soooo today, being trash pick up day, I spent 15 minutes and wiped and decluttered the fridge door. Just imagine if I do that every trash pickup day this month, a shelf at a time. I also did under the kitchen sink AND the bathroom sink (last week), because I wanted to use organizers under the bathroom sink under the kitchen sink ... it looks great, and it feels great.
I love storing the sheets inside the pillowcase. Thank you for the tip!
Loving this challenge...loving the inspiration!
we have so much in common with the linens! I parted with all the top sheets and all the extras. one to wash, one to wear. one extra blanket for each bed. i fold pillow cases, but a big nooo on the sheets, lol. And, I declutter one little chunk at a time. the approach works so great!
I love how you have rando messy areas too!! My hubs and I just switched closets last night. I literally open the door and throw my clothes in then shut the door and run!
Thanks for another inspirational & funny video! That Martha Stewart comment cracked me ☮️
Every bed in my home is a queen-sized bed. Yay! So I have lots of sets. My washer will do 2 sets at a time and that is what i prefer.
Love your videos and your stories! Thanks for the inspiration to de- clutter!! Slow process for me but making progress!
I love that you don't fold fitted sheets! REBEL! ❤ you're the best!

I love your videos!!!!❤ You crack me up as I learn!!!
I just adore you. Thank you for all you do.
Bahahahahhaha I love how you fold your sheets. I do the same. I hate folding sheets so I just roll them or half A do it and put them in the matching pillow case. Not to mention I don't like the top sheet either. My husband and actually have our own blankets because I move alot and will leave in without a blanket lol.
Thanks for sharing. I keep my linen drawer like you, rolled up in s pillow case lol, who really has time to argue with those things 😊
I love your sheet folding 😂😂😂 That’s how I do it as well. Who has time for that?! Lol 👍🏻✨💖
I love you so much, I’m so glad I found you!!!
I just got such a chuckle out of this video!! You are hilarious!!
I will still fold my fitted sheets, but I'm stealing your technique for keeping the sets together =D Putting them in a pillow case is very clever!
You're so funny.😂 I wish I could come to your house and fold your sheets.😄 I love to fold lol.
God I love you Cas! You crack me up! I’ve been enjoying allllll of your videos! I wanna be your best friend! LOL!
Thanks for keeping it real!❤
I love how you fold a bottom sheet, I do the same thing! You are hilarious, thank you for making me laugh!
Died laughing 🤣 I just love how she fold sheets, same girl
Awesome! For sheets...my rule is only two per bed! One to wash...one to wear...that's all you need!
Love the inspiration! I have so much baking stuff that I'm not using. I want to start a baking business but my kids are too little so I'm going to let go of some stuff! Thanks for the videos!!
I love sheets and have too many I only have three sets, now. My daughter got rid of all my stuff, she only Brought one of my sets so I bought more. But I usually was and put right back on. Wish I had your linen Closet.💕👍😃
Very inspirational, thank you
I love the fold
This is going to be a good project for me today.
That is exactly how I fold sheets.Life is too short.
haha that made me laugh because that's exactly how I fold my bedding hahaha I love you your great xx
Linen folding champ 2017! lolol Also: Where is the story at the end of the video? I feel cheated. Also: Is it bad that I have a single extra sheet set for when I have company? The rest I wash once a week by simply stripping the beds. And we don't use top sheets at all. The beds are bare until laundry is done 😐 The End.

I'm the same way. I wash the bedding once a week and just put the same sheets on. We have extras since my husband sometimes have to take a couple pairs with him when he gets deployed, but that is it.
thank you for the inspiration... see you again tomorrow..
So gotta purge linen!!
I'd love to see a deep cleaning series like this one after this one 🤗❤️
Hey, I love this!!! LOL, my kids only use the fitted sheet as well, no top sheet ...... and.... I fold the fitted sheet exactly like you do!!!
You are so real love videos . U are hilarious and down to earth. Love it all.
Folding fitted sheets , ain't nobody got time for that lol
I thought I decluttered my house. So when I saw this series pop up, I was like “yeah yeah, ive already decluttered utinsels. I already got rid of Tupperware. I already xyz”. Then I watched the videos and went back to each area an OH MY GOODNESS!! I got rid of sooooooo much more stuff!! I realized I was holding on to things just because they e always taken up that space so I was kind of immune to it actually being clutter. I had 6 paring knives. They came in a set for $1 at Walmart and they’ve always lived in my cutlery drawer. Now wait a minute....when would I ever need to use 6 paring knives all at the same time??? Never!!! Lol. I kept 2.
One set for each bed and one extra for a makeshift bed if needed.. strip, wash and remake a bed in the same day.. now thats decluttering :-)
I love how you fold the fitted sheet! Lol. Thats how my husband folds my clothes if he does the laundry because all my clothes are basically jersey fabric, lol. In his defense, I actually dont fold my clothes but roll them to put then in the drawers, lol.
Love your folding skills. 😂
