A few years back I was away for a while and came back to a nasty mouse infestation. When faced with the prospect of deep cleaning and sanitizing items, it made it WAY easier to get rid of stuff that I didn’t CRITICALLY need.
Anything important I put in the work, anything not got tossed. I was able to cut back significantly.
Also gave me an excuse to spend a bunch on storage - everything is now stored in clear sealed plastic bins with labels - and left me with enough trauma that I’m now quite vigilant about cleaning :P
I CAN CONFIRM THIS WORKS

Hey look it’s me with cockroaches! (It’s fun sharing walls with households that have cockroaches. Sharing is caring.)
I like simpler items with fewer parts now.
