The Ultimate March Declutter Challenge: 10 Spaces in 10 Days
March is that funny in-between month—too early for full-blown spring cleaning, but perfect for a fresh start. If your home is feeling a little heavy from winter buildup, now’s the time to reset—and we’ve got just the thing to help you do it.
Introducing the Mello Spaces March Declutter Challenge: 10 spaces, 10 days, 10 manageable wins that will leave your home (and your mind) feeling lighter.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about momentum. Tackle one small area each day, build confidence as you go, and make space for what matters most this season.
Here’s your 10-day plan:
Day 1: The Junk Drawer
Everyone has one. Toss dead batteries, broken pens, and anything you haven’t used in months. Use small containers to separate essentials like scissors, tape, and chargers.
Day 2: Your Purse or Diaper Bag
Empty it completely. Toss the crumbs, receipts, and extras. Restock only the essentials—bonus points for using a pouch system to keep things tidy.
Day 3: Your Nightstand
Clear off clutter, donate half-read books you’ve lost interest in, and keep only what supports your wind-down routine.
Day 4: Bathroom Products
Check expiration dates and toss anything unused or leaking. Group items by category—daily use, backup stock, or travel.
Day 5: Fridge + Freezer
Goodbye mystery leftovers and freezer-burned peas. Wipe shelves, group like-with-like, and create zones (like snacks, meal prep, or sauces).
Day 6: Entryway Drop Zone
Clear the floor, recycle old mail, and set up a system: hooks for bags, bins for shoes, trays for keys.
Day 7: Pantry or Snack Cabinet
Toss expired items and donate unopened extras you won’t eat. Use clear bins and labels for visibility and access.
Day 8: Your Car
Treat it like a tiny room. Remove trash, store just-the-essentials, and add a small basket for car snacks or wipes.
Day 9: Kids’ Toys or Books
Involve your kids! Donate what they’ve outgrown, rotate what stays, and use labeled bins to keep things sorted.
Day 10: That One Overflowing Shelf/Surface
You know the one. Today’s the day to tackle it. Clear it off, only put back what you love or need, and admire your work.
