Spring is in full bloom and summer is right around the corner. Which means, it’s time for spring cleaning. Century Storage is here to help you with your storage and organization. An important step in spring cleaning is getting organized. Being completely organized will make deep cleaning your home a breeze. Follow these storage and organization tips below to kickstart your spring cleaning.

Create a cleaning scheduleSpring cleaning is not a one day task. Create a cleaning schedule and clean one area at a time to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Collect cleaning and organization suppliesBefore you start, gather all the cleaning and organization supplies you may need. Visit your local Century Storage to pick up packing supplies for organization.

DeclutterMove and pack up excess items in the spaces you will be cleaning. Organize these items into donation, storage, and trash piles. Store items that currently are not needed. Donate any items that you no longer need or want. Throw away any items that are not able to be donated and recycle any recyclable items. Make sure to find a designated home for all the items from decluttering.

Switch out wardrobeThe temperatures are rising and your wardrobe is changing. It’s time to transition your wardrobe. Pack up any winter clothing and bring out your spring wardrobe essentials.

Put away winter itemsMove seasonal items into storage. Put away any items that you only use in the winter months like holiday decorations and your winter wardrobe.

Clean out the garageDon’t forget to clean your garage! Start cleaning your garage by removing everything from the space. Once everything is removed, start cleaning from top to bottom. This will ensure that the debris that fall are cleaned up. Once you are done cleaning, only put back necessary items. Repeat tip two and declutter the items you removed earlier to clean your garage.

Store items to create more spaceConsider storing items either short term or long term at your local Century Storage. Free up space in your home by storing excess items in a secure Century Storage Unit. If you are unsure of what size unit you need, refer to our size guide.
