Tip #1: Create a staging area
– this spot will be a large, empty space where you can organize your junk into different piles (recycling, donation, garbage).Tip #2: Clean each room entirely, one by one
– seeing a finished product in one room will give you the motivation to keep spring cleaning your whole house.Tip #3: Work from the top down, inside out
– this prevents you from dragging dirt into previously cleaned areas. It also helps if you have two different colored garbage bags to keep garbage separate from recycling.Tip #4: Dispose of hazardous material safely
– Things like paint and chemicals should not be thrown out with your regular garbage, so check with your municipality to find out when their next toxic waste pickup date is.Tip #5: Turn old shirts into rags
– Any shirts that are too badly damaged to donate can be used as rags, which will also help you save on paper towels.Tip #6: Get rid of old boxes
– If you’ve got a storage space in your basement that is full of boxes you haven’t opened in over a year, think about getting rid of them.Tip #7: Go paperless
– Apply to online banking and billing to save paper, and then next year’s spring cleanup will be that much easier.“We’re often defined by the things we can’t get rid of,” so think of spring cleaning as a chance to clean not only your house, but your mind as well.
