While Swedish Death Cleaning offers numerous benefits, there are also potential drawbacks or criticisms associated with the method. Some individuals may find it challenging to part with sentimental items or belongings that hold significant memories, leading to emotional distress during the decluttering process. There is also a risk of becoming too focused on material possessions rather than addressing underlying emotional issues that may contribute to hoarding behavior. Critics argue that placing emphasis on preparing for one's death through cleaning can be morbid or unsettling for some people, potentially causing unnecessary anxiety about mortality.
