I got rid of over 2,000 things, like well over 2,000 things this past weekend and found some

really surprisingly dirty spaces in my home using a new technique.

Hey, clutter bugs and welcome back to the clutter bug podcast. As you guys know, if you

listened to my last podcast, we bought a new house, which is super exciting, but it also means we

critically look at our homes like we would if we were selling our house, like we would if we were

envisioning looking at it from a buyer's perspective. And do we need to do this? No, but I think this

is a fun experiment that you can do even if you're not selling your house because I'm telling you,
