Cleaning up

If you constantly find yourself struggling to find the space or time to put things away, then Tidying Up With Marie Kondo is the show for you. In this eight-part US reality series, organising expert Marie Kondo (above) ventures into people’s abodes (with a translator) and helps them sort out their homes, room by room. She shows what’s worth keeping and what’s not. There are also some tips on the best way to fold your clothes. Those in need of assistance here include a stressed-out couple with two young children and a widow who needs guidance on what to do with her late husband’s possessions. Kondo hails from Japan and is a decluttering pro. She shot to publishing fame with her self-help book The Life-Changing Magic Of Tidying Up. Even if you don’t agree with her methods you may find yourself wondering why you are still keeping all those shirts you haven’t worn in three years. Streams on Netflix.
