What To Declutter
As you prepare to tidy up your home, keep these two principles in mind:

- The value of items is reflected in their usefulness. Moreover, a valuable item must be in the right place at the right time.

Kitchen
Small appliances that are rarely used (juicer/bread machine/soy milk machine/yoghurt machine/waterproof steamer) -> low-frequency use can be integrated into a multi-function machine. Or it can be easily implemented through other methods. For example, a special equipment for a water-proof steamer can be implemented by adding a bracket to the pot. For example, a yogurt machine can be implemented through a rice cooker, unless the frequency of use is very high and will be used at the same time.
