It’s easy to let jobs around the home fall by the wayside.
Sometimes life just gets in the way! But every now and then, you need to take control of the situation and get back on top of things. Do you have an endless to-do list of things you want to do? There’s no time like the present to get started. Use this weekend to get your life back on track and get your home in order with these top tips.
Get rid of the clutter
Who doesn’t love a good decluttering session? Being ruthless with the items you no longer want or need can help you to create more space in your home. Make it the neat and organized oasis you’ve always dreamed it could be!
The best decluttering advice includes trying a ‘10-minute declutter’ that will soon have you filling up the trash bags. Remember to recycle unwanted goods where necessary, or donate them to somewhere that can find a good home for them.
Clean everything like it’s a spring clean
Cleaning your home can take hours, but it’s worth it to see it gleaming afterward. While many people will have a thorough spring clean once a year, you’ll want to aim for more than that to keep your home looking its best. Get everyone in your home involved in cleaning up to ensure a successful spring clean. You’ll get the job done much quicker that way. Don’t forget your outdoor jobs too – the outside is just as important as the inside!
Think about the bigger jobs
Now is a great time to think about the bigger jobs need doing around your house. Do some spot checks around areas like your guttering, your boiler, etc. This can help you plan for any work that needs doing. Bringing in a roofing company now is a great idea, before their books get filled with fall maintenance work. It’s better to fix problems fast before they become bigger problems. Start making lists of the bigger jobs you’d like to get done before summer comes to an end.
Get yourself organized
One busy weekend can really make a difference to your home, but can you keep it up? Use this time to put some plans in place that will help make your home more organized and stop the jobs from piling up again. It’s easy to keep your home clean when you do 20 minutes a day instead of leaving it all to the weekend. With some simple organization, your home will be left sparkling year-round, leaving you with more free time to put your feet up and relax.
When you’ve got a free weekend, it’s good to take the time to get on top of things at home. Use this weekend to clean, declutter and get organized for a much less busy home that you can then make the most of. What will you do to get your home in order this weekend?
