Quick Spring Cleaning Projects

The weather is turning warmer. Now is the time to lighten the feeling in your home. Surround yourself only with belongings that you use, love, and enjoy. Making more space for your belongings will make spring cleaning faster & easier. Here are a few project ideas:
1. Garage: Grab a garbage bag and do a quick purge. Fill the bag with belongings that you haven't used in the past year. Either toss the bag or donate, depending on the condition of the items.
2. Linen Closet: Remove sheets, blankets, and extra towels that you don't use. Donation centers always need linens.
3. Bathroom: Dispose of toiletries that you don't use.
4. Kitchen: Remove pots, serving platters, and dish towels that are used only for special occasions. Store these on a shelf in the basement or attic, with holiday decorations, or in another out-of the-way location. This will provide more room for items used routinely.
5. Pantry: Check expiration dates and dispose of any food that is past its prime.
6. Bookshelf: Remove tchotchkes that have collected. Donate any books that are no longer of interest to you.
Purging will not only make spring cleaning more efficient; it may also lighten your spirits! Happy spring!
