An organization expert named Tracy McCubbin, who goes by @tracymccubbin on social media, has gained a following of nearly 30k users on TikTok thanks to her videos that offer home cleaning advice and DIY tips.
She recently revealed an easy way to declutter your home in under five minutes – and viewers said they were guilty of hording the item.
“Coffee mugs,” she began.
“Every home I go into has at least twice as many coffee mugs than they actually use.”
Yes, she’s talking about that cupboard of yours that’s filled to the brim with ceramic mugs that have cheesy sayings printed on the front.
“We all have so many coffee mugs.
“It’s such an easy thing to declutter and it makes so much valuable space in your cupboards.”
Those tucked-away shelves can be used to hold spices, snacks, and anything else that has been forced to find room on the counter.

“Get rid of the mugs that are chipped, get rid of the ones that came from the corporate retreat.
“You know what you like, and you usually only use one or two every day. So, do a quick pass, get rid of the coffee mugs, and make some space in your cabinets.”
Many viewers were thankful for the tip:
“Agree and tell people to STOP GIVING MY MUGS AS GIFTS,” one person wrote.
“Coffee mugs and water bottles! Arghhh,” noted a second.
Others, however, joked that they were too precious to let go of:
“They are called a collection,” one wrote.
“Not gonna do it. Anything but my coffee mugs,” joked another.
