Spring-Cleaning Should Start With ‘Chaos Decluttering’ if You’re Serious About Deep Cleaning

By Anna Baluch

It's the first day of spring, which means that deep cleaning before the warmer temperatures set in has become top of mind for most homeowners.

This year, however, you may want to consider a pivot from traditional tidying up to pursue a more trendy and perhaps rewarding method of cleaning: “chaos decluttering.”

“What people refer to as 'chaos decluttering' is really just full exposure. You take everything out of a space so you can see exactly what you have. It’s all out in front of you,” says Michelle Urban, professional organizer and founder at The Organized House in Portland, OR.
