6 Quick Clutter Cleanse Ideas to Get Your Home Ready for Spring Cleaning

Are you ready for some spring cleaning? Today I thought it would be nice to get you ready by providing quick clutter cleanse ideas to get your home ready for spring cleaning. Let’s face it, the last thing we need is clutter but one of the best times to tackle it is when you are spring cleaning your home anyway. Let’s get started!

Quick Clutter Cleanse

When you need to quickly organize your home, consider using baskets or laundry bins to swiftly collect clutter. This will make it easier to put these items in their proper locations.

Make sure you are putting these items away instead of making this a short-term solution and storing these containers somewhere discreet. It can be way too easy to forget about it. Therefore ensure everything is put away before moving into the next space.

Timed Task

If you are struggling to stay organized, think about setting 10-15 minutes aside. You can start with a 10-minute chunk of time to focus on one area at a time, and make it a habit to put things back where they belong when you’re done using them.

This is a great option if you are the type who needs to focus on completing small tasks every day rather than doing one big clean-up. Some thrive better getting it done all at once but sometimes it is good to break bigger projects into smaller tasks. Either way, you are getting it done.

Focus on One Cluttered Space

I know your time is valuable so organizing just a single cluttered space can make more of an impact than tackling a multitude of disorganized areas.

To get started quickly, focus on one frequently used space in your home. I am talking about a silverware drawer or junk drawer that drives you crazy whenever you open it. We all have one of those.

Here is how you can tackle it:

• Empty it out completely,
• Wipe it down with a cleaning spray and a cloth,
• Place dividers or containers inside to separate,
• Group related items,
• Remove or donate unwanted items.

Once that is done, you now have a space that will no longer overwhelm you. These tasks will help free up the area and help keep things neat and tidy!

Divide Stuff by Purpose

If you have an active family or an extremely busy schedule, you know how hard it can be to stay organized. It can be a challenge but it doesn’t have to stay that way. Here are some quick tips to stay on top of things and give your lifestyle a little assistance:

• Label each bag or basket with a designated activity,
• Assign hooks or cubbies to these activities,
• Make sure everything has its place and put items back after use.

This easy system can help make chaotic mornings much less stressful! You will love how easy it is.

Quick Closet Clutter Fix

Quick clutter cleanse for your closet time! If you’re looking for quick tips to organize your closet, try designating a space for the clothing you need for the week. I used to do this a lot when I had the space and loved it. This makes picking out an outfit every morning easier and helps reduce clutter in your closet.

This works for kids as well, pick out an outfit or just a top and coordinate it with accessories like socks and jewelry. If you don’t have the space to do an entire week, consider doing this for the next day.

Lastly, box up out-of-season clothes and store them away until they are needed again. I personally and absolutely love using the SKUBB storage cases from IKEA. They are the perfect size for under my bed. Plus it is collapsible for when you don’t need it so you can easily store it. As well as affordable regardless of if you buy the large or smaller size.

Revisit Your Loads of Stuff

Let’s face it there’s no easy way to go through your stuff other than dealing with it head-on. Yes, actually tackling the things you have been dreading. I mean we already got you through the easier sections so it’s time to tackle the ones that are hard to part with.

Instead of falling into a never-ending cycle of keeping or purging, spend 15-20 minutes in each room facing this task head-on. I always like to recommend putting on some music to sweeten the occasion.

Use this time to make some hard decisions. If there are items you:

• No longer use on a regular basis,
• Dislike,
• Are simply uncomfortable to wear or use.

It may be time to discard those items safely. Whether you choose to donate them, recycle them, or sell them online, you are achieving your goal of clearing your clutter.

Once you have completed that part, it will be way easier to group similar items together. Then make sure the remaining items have their own spot or section in your home that makes them easier to put away. Keep yourself organized by labelling shelves and drawers so everything is easier to find and return.
