From decluttering closets to organizing the bathroom, there’s always a long-delayed project just waiting to be crossed off your spring cleaning checklist. For most of us, this list starts and ends with the mountain of clutter that has accumulated since our last “spring cleanup.”
If you don’t know where to start, we’re here to help! Keep reading for three of our favorite ways to declutter.
#1: Go All In
Not sure where to start with that crowded closet? The best way to declutter is to identify exactly how much clutter exists in the first place. Take everything (and we mean EVERYTHING) out of the closet, and take stock of the empty space.
This is the perfect time to add storage space, like installing a new closet organizer or double hang rod to add more hanging storage in a cramped closet.
#2: Be Honest
If there are items you use every month, give them a prominent home and make sure to keep them there. For items you aren’t sure about, place them in a large bin and set a monthly reminder on your calendar.
If the items in the bin haven’t been used or even thought about in the month, it’s safe to say they can go. Are some of them sentimental? Here’s our tips on how to ease the pain of letting them go.
#3: Think Square
No matter how disciplined your purge, there will always be some clutter left behind. Don’t worry! It happens to all of us. Stackable Storage and Cube Organizers are the perfect solution to any remaining hard-to-part with items.
