0:00.0	In today's episode, I'm going to talk you through three quick five-minute tasks that will reduce the clutter in your home.
0:12.1	Hi, everyone. I'm Ronnie. And I'm Jessica. And you're listening to Clean with me.
0:17.7	The podcast where we walk you through cleaning your house.
0:24.8	The first thing you're going to do is grab a trash bag. Maybe you want to take out your kitchen
0:32.7	trash and reline it and carry that waste basket around but better yet just grab a trash bag that you can
0:41.8	carry with you through the house for the next four or five minutes okay and what you're going to do
0:53.0	is you're going to just fill that up with trash and right right now you may be saying, Ronnie, I don't have that much trash in my house. Trust me, you do, you just need to know where to look.

2:05.0	mine's on wheels, the clutter that ends up falling behind these pieces of furniture is unreal sometimes.
2:14.2	So I encourage you to look for surface trash plus move some stuff. Another place you can go when
2:24.8	just trying to fill a trash bag is your bathroom drawer, your makeup drawer. Okay? Let's face it, some of that stuff's expired, and I'm not a stickler.
2:38.1	I realize things like eye shadows and lipstick we can use for a while, but certain things like
2:45.9	foundation, you know, liquid foundation, concealer, mascara,
