The weather is warmer, the days are brighter, and everything feels new. That’s what makes spring so special. It’s not just about cleaning—spring is a fresh start. You can clear your space, feel better, and build new habits. Start your spring cleaning with the tips we’ve listed below.
Tidy Up and Feel the Difference at Home
Have you ever heard the saying, “A cluttered space equals a cluttered mind”? Stress from a cluttered home might make your spring cleaning project seem more like a chore. But there is no need to worry—with the proper technique, you can transform chaos into harmony.
For the items you have decided to keep, simplify and organize effectively in boxes, and label them for easy access later on. You can store them in an indoor storage unit to free up even more space. For instance, the decorations you will be using next holiday season can easily be packed away for next year.
For items that you no longer use, like clothing, books, and furniture, consider donating to local charities.
For the items you decided to let go, put them in a garbage bag, and properly dispose of them to prevent harming animals and people. For instance, expired essentials or broken displays.
Your Storage Unit Needs Spring Cleaning Too
Your storage unit is a place for items you value; not a space for clutter and grime. With time, it’s easy for dust, moisture, and pests to build up. Keep it fresh and organized by:
Take everything out of your storage unit. Leave the door open to air out your storage unit as you clean.
Sweep the floor, wipe the walls and corners thoroughly, then use a mild disinfectant to clean any surfaces.
You don’t want to have unexpected guests lurking around, so look for any indications of mold, dampness, or pests!
Once cleaned, your storage facility should smell fresh. Use moisture absorbers, pest deterrents, or even mildly scented sachets to maintain this freshness.
