SHOW YOUR HOME SOME LOVE WITH DECO'S DECLUTTERING TIPS
GETTING A HEAD START ON SPRING CLEANING
With winter almost behind us, a ritual that induces an urge
to clean comes to the forefront of our minds: it's time to
spring clean! Spring-cleaning brings the feeling of a fresh
start. It encourages a healthier lifestyle and helps us feel
mastery over our immediate world. If you need some words of
encouragement, we think showing your home some love right
now is the perfect way to celebrate Valentine's Day month!
Here are DECO’s unmissable decluttering tips, that will
efficiently help you get your home in tip-top shape:
FIRST THINGS FIRST: SET YOUR GOALS
Spring cleaning for some, means decluttering and organizing,
while for others it means other to-dos. So, before you
start, make sure you know your priorities and what you wish
to accomplish. Doing so will make your spring-cleaning-decluttering
routine easier, faster, and much more relaxing.
STEP BY STEP!
Even if you’re feeling a sudden rush of energy, trying to
organize the whole house in one go is impossible. A true
spring clean doesn’t happen overnight, so you should take a
moment to prepare. Start by mapping out a plan of attack and
get your ideas on paper. Use the
Pomodoro Technique
to make a checklist and set completion dates.
ONE ROOM AT A TIME
The best way to make decluttering easier is to do it in
stages. Focus on one room, one space, or even one zone within
a room at a time. If your family is also getting involved in
the cleaning, give each member a room to declutter or work as
a team to declutter each space. This way, the process will be
much faster – and fun too!
DIVIDE ITEMS INTO CATEGORIES
Once you start on your decluttering process, you’ll want to
divide everything into three categories: keep, donate, or
throw out. If you don’t want the item that’s taking up space,
you can put it in a pile or bags to either donate or throw
out. Make sure these bags are labeled correctly.
GET THE RIGHT ORGANIZERS
A few new organizers or clutter management tools, such as
bins, crates, and shelving systems, might be just what you
need to put some order in your DECO home. But remember: these
things can also create unnecessary clutter, so make sure that
you only buy what you truly need.
LASTLY, KNOW WHEN TO ASK FOR HELP
If your DECO home is large or you have an incredibly busy
schedule, doing a spring cleaning all by yourself might not be
feasible. And even if your family is involved, it can still be
hard to get everything properly organized. In this case, you
can hire a professional organizer or even a house cleaning
service to assist you.
And remember: even though spring is in the name, you can do
a thorough clean any time of the year.
Now that you’ve organized your unwanted clutter… It’s time to
get rid of it! At DECO Homes we care about the environment, so
we make a point of recommending that you consider donating and
recycling as much of what you remove as possible. We are
committed to the environment at all stages of your DECO home
life—from design to construction to disposal by our DECO
homeowners.
