The junk towers toward the ceiling in areas of your home that have been neglected for months. You are getting spring fever, and you know it’s time to do something about the mess that has been gathering all winter. It’s time for spring cleaning. But where do you start? The rooms you live in usually get regular attention throughout the year, but storage areas, like the basement, attic and garage, are likely in need of an overhaul. As with any organizing project, the best task to accomplish first is weeding out anything you don’t need any more. A good rule of thumb is if you haven’t used it in a year, you probably don’t need it. So toss it or give it away. Next, swap your seasonal items, putting away anything wintery and digging out all of your warm- weather goodies, especially summer clothes and outdoor toys. And finally, put like items together to create a place for everything. This will streamline your home, making it more livable and making you more efficient!
