Declutter Pool Toys & Supplies {15 Minute Mission}

Today's mission is to declutter pool toys, supplies and equipment.


I know what you're thinking -- if you don't actually have a pool of your own you may think this doesn't apply to you, and sure, it won't take you quite as long.

But if you and your family like to go to any pool, and have any toys or supplies you like to take with you when you go, this also applies to that scenario.

Often, with time, kids outgrown certain pool toys, or they get damaged or yucky and just need to be tossed or donated (obviously only donate something that would be usable by someone else, never things that should just be trashed!)

Toys to look through and consider decluttering include pool floats, noodles, rafts and other inflatables, water toys, and water sports equipment.

In this mission you should also declutter any items you take to the pool, such as goggles, floaties and life jackets, swimsuits and pool towels.

Specifically when it comes to pool towels make sure to get rid of any that are so ratty or have so many holes they just aren't worth using anymore. (You can also read the declutter towels and wash cloths mission article for more information about this.)

You can also get more tips on decluttering swimsuits and other sportswear and activewear in this article on the site.

Finally, if you've got your own pool, either an above ground or in ground variety, you've got even more pool supplies and equipment to deal with. This can include equipment and supplies for cleaning, dealing with and adjusting pool chemistry, and more.

Get rid of empty containers, equipment that is broken and not worth fixing, pool chemicals that you don't ever use or decided you don't like, etc.

What Types Of Pool Equipment & Toys Are You Decluttering?

Once you've done this mission I'd love to hear what you've decluttered.

You can send in your photos of what you've gotten rid of here, and the best photos will be featured here on the site.

In addition, even if you're not decluttering any of these items, it may be a good time to clean them as well. You can get more information about how to clean pool toys (and kiddie pools) here.

Are You Ready To Declutter Your Home?

I hope you are now inspired to declutter the stuff you use in and around your pool or while swimming.

When you begin to declutter the feeling you get is contagious, so if you're loving the results you're getting I would encourage you to keep going.

I've got a whole series of 15 minute decluttering missions (eventually 365 of them!) that you can do.

Just pick and choose the ones you want to do, that will make a big impact in your home. But if you want someone else to tell you the order you can also grab the 15 minute daily decluttering mission calendars and follow along as we all get our homes clutter free together!
