Spring is here, and it’s the perfect time to refresh your space along with me as I am doing the same right now. Here are 10 key steps to help you deep clean, declutter, and organize efficiently:

1. Start with a Plan – Make a checklist of everything that needs done to welcome spring after the really cold winter, find time to work on the tasks and gather your supplies or people before diving in.

2. Refresh Your Closet – Rotate seasonal clothing, pack your winter wear, get your spring and summer clothes out. Get your Winter Jackets dry cleaned before stowing them away so that they don't get a musty smell when you open them again later this year.

3. Declutter – Sort through your belongings and remove what you no longer need before cleaning - everything from dead indoor plants to winter clothes you know you are not going to wear again or did not wear this past season to Christmas decor you can let go. Divide these into three categories - Trash, donate and sell.

4. Donation Drop-Off – Schedule a drop-off to clear out unnecessary items and drop them off as soon as possible.

5. Sell - You can sell some branded clothes, shoes, bags, hats. I took my things to consignment stores (Uptown Cheapskate and 2nd Street in Cedar Park, TX).

6. Deep Clean Every Corner – Focus on baseboards, ceiling fans, air vents, hidden spaces under furniture, kitchen electonrics (refrigerator, oven, microwave). If you are a working professional, outsource this task. Hire cleaners to do all the deep cleaning. Trust me, it will be worth every penny!

7. Wash Windows to Bring the Outdoors In – Let natural light shine through by cleaning your windows inside and out.

8. Move Houseplants Outdoors – Give your plants a sunbath and fresh air for healthier growth.

9. Don’t Forget the Garage! – Spring is the best time to declutter and organize this often-overlooked space.

10. Maintain the Momentum – Set up simple daily habits to keep your home fresh and clutter-free year-round. Read my blog on Micro-Decluttering to help set up those daily habits.
