8 Charities That Offer FREE Donation Pick-Up!
It is Time For Spring Cleaning!
Spring cleaning – that annual tradition of throwing open the windows, letting in some fresh air, and realizing how much clutter has accumulated in your home over the past year. But who says spring cleaning must be a boring, tedious chore?
First, start your Spring cleaning by taking plenty of breaks, checking Facebook, eating snacks, and ensuring you’re up to date on all the new Hulu Documentaries!
Next, we must start the actual cleaning process! Spring cleaning can feel daunting, especially if you have a lot of clutter to tackle. However, you can conquer the mess with courage and motivation and make your space feel fresh and new. We all love a freshly cleaned home! Here are some tips to help you get the courage for spring cleaning:
Steps For Spring Cleaning and Preparing Items For Donation
· Don’t try to tackle your entire home in one day. Instead, break your cleaning tasks into smaller, more manageable ones, and start with one area at a time. Try to stay in that area until the room is finished. Floating around organizing different areas may overwhelm you and create a bigger mess.
· Decide what you want to accomplish with your spring cleaning by setting a goal. Whether it’s to declutter your closet, deep clean your kitchen, or organize your paperwork, having a specific goal in mind can help motivate you to get started. Also, make sure that it is a realistic goal.
· Cleaning is always more fun when you have someone to help you. So, enlist a friend or family member to join you, or make it
a family event and assign tasks to each household member.
· Turn on some music, set a timer, or make a game out of your cleaning tasks to make it feel less like a chore and more fun.
· Imagine how great your space will look and feel once your spring cleaning is complete. Use this visualization as motivation to keep going, even when feeling discouraged.
· Remember that your spring cleaning will result in a cleaner, more organized home that feels fresh and new. Keeping this in mind
gives you the courage to tackle the task.
