A CLEANING expert has shared the five things she would avoid having in her home.
The content creator explained that the trendy decor features are often just places for dust to gather.
In her video, TikTok user Amanda J Martin (@amandajmartin5) told viewers that she is trying to be more minimalistic.
For her first tip, the TikToker recommended steering clear of bookshelves in your home.
"I like to read a lot and I don’t have any books in my home, very few," Amanda said.
She explained: "I just go to the library, I know people might think that’s weird but it’s honestly way less clutter for me, way less to dust."
The professional cleaner revealed that she has an issue with all kinds of shelving.
"I just think shelving overall is just a place for things to sit that we hardly ever touch anyway," Amanda explained.
She continued: "So I would not want any type of shelving, that goes for open shelving too.
"I know it looks really pretty in the kitchen but for me personally, it’s just difficult to clean and the look of it is not worth it to me," she said.

For her next tip, Amanda suggested avoiding copper sinks or "anything copper for that matter."
The content creator explained: "It looks beautiful until it gets really dirty and gross.
"It’s just not appealing to me, it’s way too much maintenance, and not going in my house at all," she told her followers.
Amanda also revealed her condition when it comes to trash cans in the home.
Showing her viewers a picture of built-in trash cans, she said: "I just think it’s so nice to hide your trash, you don’t have to look at it, you just close it and it’s like it’s not even there."
Finally, the cleaning pro explained why she would never have "anything stone" in her home.
Showing an example of a stone wall, she said: "It is so hard to clean, I feel like it just attracts mold and I just won’t be having it in my house at all."
TikTok users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the advice.
"Less is more for me! And yes from one cleaning lady to the other! Less to dust!!" wrote one viewer.
