    Okay, so I’m getting rid of my mattress, most of my furniture, most of my electronics, etc.

    I think the idea behind this idea is good: If you’re trying to get rid of stuff, only keep things that you would expend a bit of effort for.

    However, I think they’re wildly underestimating how many items will be destroyed or irreversably ruined in some way by poop.

      They said when decluttering. Most of those things aren’t in question when you’re specifically decluttering. No one looks at their mess and thinks “maybe getting rid of my mattress, couch, phone and TV would make things cleaner”.

      I think it’s probably better to amend it to, “if it was covered in poop would you get rid of it and not replace it?”

        I’m too poor to replace the things that got covered, so this still doesn’t work.

      The one I’ve heard is, if you spilled a glass of red wine on it, how hard would you work to clean/fix it? It’s more in the vein of decluttering as opposed to replacing furniture. So obv your couch and TV are exceptions

      Maybe they’re coming from the other direction.

      Remember; they’re owned by and thus write for the famously depraved billionaire class.
