The portal "schoener-wohnen.de" has broken down what "death cleaning" is all about. The trend is not only intended to help you declutter your apartment or house, but also your own life. The method goes back to Margareta Magnusson, who has also written a book on the subject, "The gentle Art of swedish death cleaning".
According to schoener-wohnen.de, the aim of this tidying method is to create order before death and make it easier for relatives to sort, store or dispose of things. Both large pieces of furniture and small documents can be considered when tidying up. Only the things that make you happy should be kept.
But it's not about throwing everything away. Instead, the furniture or accessories that have been sorted out can be given away to people who will be happy to receive them. The tidying routine also needs to be repeated from time to time. Contrary to what one might think, "death cleaning" is more of a trend among younger people than older people. "Although the name of the trend refers to the phase shortly before death, the basic principle is particularly popular with younger people," says schoener-wohnen.de author Laura Bähr.
