25 Things That Shouldn't Be in a Modern Woman's Home

We don't judge anyone — we just remind you of the things it's time to get rid of.

1. Dusty Bed Skirt

Ruffles around the bed's edge used to hide things, but now you breathe in dust every night. It's time to get rid of old accumulations.

2. Gray Towels

Use towels for a maximum of three days, then wash them with vinegar. If they have yellowed or faded, replace them without regret.

3. Uncomfortable Shoes

It's hard to throw away favorite shoes, but if you can't walk in them, keeping them is unnecessary.

4. Shoes with Unpleasant Odor

Old sneakers or slippers with a smell contain bacteria that can transfer to other shoes.

5. Souvenir Mugs and Glasses

Keep only those that you use or that evoke pleasant memories. The rest are unnecessary.

6. Ill-Fitting Bras

Stretchy bands and straps that fall down or don't support the breasts need to be removed.

7. Tight Jeans That Don't Fit

If a pair has been lying around for more than five years and doesn't fit, it's time to get rid of it.

8. Lonely Socks

There's no need to keep lost socks for years — it's easier to buy new ones.

9. Old Awards

Trophies and certificates from children who are now adults are better removed to make space for new achievements.

10. Old Discs

If you don't listen to CDs, the collection can be put away.

11. Old Gardening Gloves

Too dirty and worn gloves increase the risk of infection; replace them with new ones.

12. Expired Spices

Ground spices last 2–3 years, while whole pepper and others last up to 4 years.

13. Wire Hangers

They snag on clothes and stretch delicate items. It's better to replace them with plastic or wooden ones.

14. Old Cosmetics

Concealers and liquid foundations — up to six months, mascara and eyeliners — every 3 months, lipstick and gloss — up to 2 years.

15. Business Cards and Notebooks

With the advent of smartphones, there's no longer a need to keep paper contacts.

16. Broken Umbrellas

It's obvious that they are unnecessary.

17. Old Containers

If containers smell or are covered in sticky dust, replace them with new ones.

18. Old Buttons

If you don't plan on crafting, extra buttons just take up space.

19. Old Dolls

If they scare you or evoke unpleasant emotions, put them away.

20. Hobby Supplies You Don't Use

There's no need to store materials for abandoned projects.

21. Books You Won't Reread

If you didn't like a book, it's better to get rid of it.

22. Stained and Torn Home T-Shirts

Even at home, you should wear clean and comfortable clothes.

23. Old Hair Ties

Replace them with plastic spirals to prevent hair from tangling and splitting.

24. Children's Drawings

Keep only a few significant works, not every little sketch.

25. Dried Bouquets

Flowers that have wilted shouldn't be kept longer than necessary.
