Sort, downsize and organize now for a stress-free spring
(Sewickley, PA) – Spring: it’s the season of new beginnings. But it’s hard to appreciate the blooming daffodils, newly budding trees and chirping birds if you’re stuck in the house trying to sift through the accumulation of winter clutter.
Fortunately there are some easy techniques that will help you get a jumpstart on your spring-cleaning. The following steps will help get your house organized and in no time you’ll be enjoying the new season, clutter-free.
“Before you start, make sure you have the proper supplies handy,” suggests Dottie Coll, moving expert and Owner of the 2 Pittsburgh TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® locations. “Get sturdy cardboard boxes or plastic bins before you start sorting your belongings and avoid using produce boxes from your grocery store — they may contain bugs and larvae. For extra convenience, shop online to get packing supplies delivered to your door. Some companies will ship boxes to your house with no extra charge.”
Moving experts TWO MEN AND A TRUCK® recommend the following tips to get organized this spring:
• Start by sorting and organizing closets. If you have limited closet space, consider storing winter clothing in the attic, basement or garage. Wardrobe boxes offer excellent space for hanging coats, sweaters and snow pants. Use the basement to store winter boots.
• Sort out items you no longer use or wear. Remember, if you haven’t worn it in more than a year, you probably won’t wear it again. Set aside a couple of empty boxes for donations or items to sell.
• Use sturdy boxes with dividers for packing breakables. If you use cardboard boxes, make sure they are structurally sound, with cardboard fluting to provide extra support. Dish-pack boxes with adjustable inserts that form individual cells are a great option. Local moving companies may carry these boxes.
• Once the closets have been organized, do the same in other storage areas like the attic or garage.
• Think green. Survey your local recycling options to find the most convenient solution for your recyclables. Many cities and towns offer curbside pick-up or “sort and drop” depots. Visit www.earth911.org for a list of local venues where you can dispose of all types of recyclable materials. Prepare your recyclables by organizing them into respective categories: plastic, glass, aluminum, paper, cardboard, etc.
• Care for hazardous material. Be conscientious about the materials you are disposing. Toxic items such as paint, batteries, house cleaning products, automobile oils, pesticides, and fertilizers are dangerous to transport and should not be thrown away with nontoxic garbage. These items should be taken to specialized depots. See www.earth911.org for the depot closest to you.
• Concentrate on disinfecting the space. Change air filters, rotate your mattresses and vacuum under your furniture.
