Residents at Copper Flats, the wonderful springtime is upon us. Before you start shopping for new clothes and planning nights with your friends, you’ve got a bit of work to do. It’s time for some spring cleaning, decluttering, and organizing.

How to Declutter and Get Ready for Spring

Declutter your house in stages. Start with the big things. If there are apparent items like articles of clothing or pieces of furniture that are out of style or no longer used, chuck them! Create a donation pile for things that are still in great shape. Remember, one person’s trash is another’s treasure. Once you’ve finished the big items, move on to smaller tasks, like drawers and cupboards. Finally, polish everything up. Clean your windows, shine your mirrors, and suck up those dust bunnies.

Tips and Hacks for Organizing Your Home

Lists are your best friends. Create a master list with every room of the house on it. On subsections of the master list, create bullet points for things that need to be done in each room. Specifics might include putting away clothes, rearranging dresser drawers, or vacuuming. Whenever you finish a task, cross it off! This will not only help you keep track of what still needs to be done, but it will also help you feel accomplished over and over again. To make the time go by faster, crank up the tunes. Jamming out will take away the stress of cleaning. Just make sure it’s not loud enough to stress out your neighbors.

Organizing Made Easy

Spring cleaning is a big task, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Starting big and ending small is a great way to get the cleaning done while keeping it fun. Once your apartment is clean, you can go out and spend some quality time around your Aurora neighborhood and return to a tidy home.
