The season of Spring represents a time of rebirth. Consequently, many of us get the urge to clean and organize our homes during this time of year. A big part of spring cleaning however is organizing your closets, garage and other storage areas. Below are a few ideas and tips to help you become successful in this endeavor.
1. Recruit a friend. You can get lots more done with the help of a friend. Clean and organize your home this weekend and do theirs the following weekend. There is nothing like teamwork!
2. Before starting the clean-up, be sure to have multiple supplies on hand. This includes hangers, garbage bags and storage containers.
3. Be prepared to get rid of unwanted or unused items. When cleaning out closets, be sure to put unwanted clothes in garbage bags as you go along.
4. Take items to Goodwill or charities immediately. As you clean, take bags to the car or truck, or move items to the garage in preparation for donation. This way you can keep track of your progress.
5. Store items that you rarely use on top shelves or in the attic.
6. Don’t waste space. Store clothing or bedding under the bed in storage bags.
7. Use stackable storage bins for organizing things like craft materials, jewelry, bolts or electronic items such as phone chargers.
8. Don’t forget to organize your kitchen drawers and cupboards. Throw out broken dishes or appliances that no longer work. Toss out canned goods that have already expired.
9. Clean out your medicine cabinet. Get rid of prescription drugs that have expired.
10. Store away heavy blankets, winter coats, boots and other seasonal items in an attic or basement. Put all these things in one place for quick recovery once the winter season rolls around again.
Have fun organizing your home and get the entire family involved. Reward yourself after you are done with a movie, dessert or other treat.
