Spring is here! It’s the perfect season to bring fresh energy into your home by tackling much-needed organization projects. As your trusted house cleaning experts, we’re excited to share simple, practical steps to help you create a relaxed, healthy, and clutter-free living space this spring.

Everything in Its Place

1. Start With Your Cleaning Supplies: Designate a specific spot for all your cleaning tools. Whether they live under the sink or in a closet, invest in storage solutions like baskets, labeled bottles, and adjustable shelves. These additions make your supplies easily accessible when needed.

2. Declutter Your Personal Belongings: Spring 2025 is the time to sift through your belongings and ask, “Do I still use this?” If the answer is no, let it go! Thank the item for its service (a Marie Kondo favorite) and donate, recycle, or responsibly dispose of it.

3. Creative Storage for Compact Spaces: For those in smaller apartments, like many of us in Chicago, creativity is key. Over-the-door organizers, modular storage systems like FreedomRails, and wall-mounted hooks can help you maximize space while keeping your home tidy and functional.

Decluttering Room by Room

Bathroom

‍Shared spaces like bathrooms can easily become chaotic. Assign each person their own section of the vanity to store essentials like toothbrushes, razors, and medicines. Add drawer dividers or stackable bins for smaller items to keep things neat.

Kitchen

‍The area under the sink is a notorious clutter zone. Use drawer organizers or caddies to separate cleaning products from other items. Magnetic strips for metal utensils or wall-mounted racks can free up counter space, making meal prep easier. Hanging baskets are another creative solution for storing fruits, vegetables, or other odds and ends.

Living Room

‍Living rooms often suffer from a tangle of wires, scattered electronics, and misplaced toys or games. Zip ties or cable organizers are an excellent way to manage cords. For everything else, invest in 2-4 storage baskets that fit under your entertainment center. Assign each basket a category, such as games, electronics, or miscellaneous items.

Bedroom

‍Bedrooms can quickly become cluttered without an organizational plan. Start with your dresser—assign each drawer a specific category of clothing. If space is tight, consolidate items like short and long sleeves or dress pants and jeans.

The area under your bed is a storage goldmine. Slide a few under-bed storage bags or bins beneath it for storing out-of-season clothes, blankets, or extra pillows. These are easy to access and keep items out of sight.

Spring Forward With a Fresh Start

Spring isn’t just about decluttering; it’s about revitalizing your space and mindset. Once your home is organized, consider adding a personal touch by redecorating walls with artwork, posters, or family photos. A clutter-free environment allows you to breathe easy and focus on what’s ahead.

Think of your spring organizing efforts as a reset button—leaving behind the stress of the past year and embracing a brighter, more organized future.
