SPRING CLEAN and turn your TRASH INTO CASH No matter how junky you think an item is, consider this truth:
Someone somewhere will probably pay for it. One of the best parts of spring cleaning is getting rid of clutter that you no longer need. While we may have a tendency to hoard and hold on to items in the winter, we generally are more ready to let go of clutter when spring arrives, cleaning will be a lot easier when the clutter is gone. DE-CLUTTER Begin with four boxes or containers and label them: 1. 2. 3. 4.
RUBBISH PUT AWAY STORE SELL OR GIVE AWAY
RUBBISH BOX This should include any item that you do not need or want, but that is not worth donating or selling. Damaged and broken items should be included in the rubbish box if they are not worth being repaired.
PUT AWAY BOX Only for items that need to be out on a regular basis. Make sure you have a place for each item. If the items in this box will not fit into your home without cluttering an area up, try to reassess if you really need them.
STORAGE BOX Put items in here that you cannot part with but do not need on a regular basis. Make a list of these items. Group similar items together. Remember one good way to clean out wardrobes is to store winter clothing.
