Spring cleaning gets easier if you de-clutter and organize.

Summer break is finally rolling around the corner; it's so close you can almost taste it! All of your hard work has finally paid off and now you have a four-month break! How exciting?

With now having a lot more free time on your hands spring cleaning seems a lot more possible to complete. There's nothing like spring cleaning; the time of the year where you get to clean your whole house... yay? This year is the year to do more than just cleaning; it's time to de-clutter! There is no better feeling than to get rid of unused stuff that was just collecting dust anyways.

It really is amazing how much stuff you can forget you have. This spring time is your time to de-clutter and do you spring cleaning all at once!

To get started on the right track first you need to write a list of the rooms that are most important to you; the room on the top of your list where you will begin! Next you will break the room down into sections. For example if you choose your bedroom, choose areas in your room that you would like to complete first, it could be your closet, dresser or under your bed.

De-cluttering isn't always an easy task; we all have those “what if” thoughts on using it again and convince ourselves to keep something we don't use. Here's a good tip for helping you decide on what to get rid of, first think of the last time you used or worn that item, if it has been over six to eight months at the least then it sure is time to get rid of it! When I say get rid of it, I mean if it's in useable and good condition, then donate it to your local Salvation Army, Good Will or any other store or charity that takes donations.

Once you have finished de-cluttering it's always a good idea to organize what you have decided to keep. Baskets and labeling are always the solution to organization!

Finally when you finish de-cluttering and organizing you can begin to do your spring cleaning in that particular room! Repeat these steps for the next room on your list!

This may seem like a lot of work to do on your holidays, but I promise you it will be worth it in the end. There is no point to having clutter in your home! Once you are finished you will have a well organize, clutter-free and squeaky clean home, what more could anyone else ask for!?
