My spring-cleaning style includes the following basics:
Storage Boxes
Before I store away stuff that I don't need anymore, I get first storage boxes where I can put them all in. I'd have them in different sizes and decide which stuff goes to which box. It's easier for me than to pile them up first and then haul them in boxes later. It's more efficient for me.
Once I have the boxes ready, I start sorting out all my stuff. I follow the first-in, first-out principle. Of course, the old ones go first, although sometimes it's hard to do this because you have a memory associated with the stuff itself. So there's actually a lot of decision making going on.
Storage Organizers
Anyhow, I do it, otherwise I'd have a lot of stuff that I don't need and it would cramp my place. Once I've put away old and used stuff, I'd get storage organizers. Yes, I also change my organizers every now and then and color code them sometimes, depending on my mood or theme (I am so fond of having themes!); never mind if they are disarranged after sometime.
Store-away Plans
The last part is to decide what to do with the discarded stuff. Sell or give away? I sell those who are still in good condition and if they are of the expensive brand. I give away the rest. Most often, I donate them to a bazaar for a cause.

I like using those large plastic bins for storage.
ReplyDeleteGo grab some, Kat! :D
DeleteI wish I can spring-clean as often too. You know with the kids around, my time is almost always consumed by them.
ReplyDeleteI know the feeling Ella. I guess you'll have to wait a while till they're older. Ha ha
DeleteMy spring cleaning style is getting rid of unwanted stuff as fast as I can. Most of the time I just give them away. I spring clean maybe every month or every 2 months. I'm kind of a neat freak :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that's so sipag of you, Jellybelly! :)
DeleteI am planning to clean up our closet. There are clothes that I can't wear already and planning to give it to someone.
ReplyDeleteYeah, better do that Daddy Allan. LOL You'll make some people happy.
Deleteme too...cleaning my closet and my room
ReplyDeleteGood, enjoy! :D
DeleteCloset clean-up is something I must do. It's about time to pull out the summer clothes and keep the knit wears and booties in storage boxes.
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha... yeah, gotta do it some time!
Deletespeaking of cleaning up, i also need boxes and organizers for my stuff as well.
ReplyDeleteI need to do a lot of cleaning up and organizing but for the life of me I am just one lazy girl. Hay. Someday I will muster up that energy to do all the things that need to be done. Thanks for the reminder :)
ReplyDeleteI also love those large plastic bins. Good talaga sya for storing items kasi these are sealed and can be cleaned from time to time.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me that I need to clean-up my closet and the rest of the house and discard what we don't need.
