How Custom Closets Can Help You Spring Clean

Anthony Cuomo • Nov 24, 2014

It’s time for spring cleaning once again. While we don’t have to worry about sweeping out snow or switching out winter boots for sandals in southwest Florida, many of us do take the opportunity to get some spring cleaning done while it’s still cool enough to have the windows open in the mornings and evenings. There’s nothing like getting a deep-down clean in every crevice of your home, but sometimes we just don’t have the time. Still, something is better than nothing. Here are a few ways to make spring cleaning easier while making the best use of your storage areas:

Use pull-out shelving in your bathroom or linen closet
If you don’t have small kids in the home, consider having a pull-out shelf in your bathroom area installed. Put your cleaning supplies on this shelf, making it ultra easy to grab your cleaning supplies and clean up the restroom before having company over, or when you simply need to clean it for your own family’s use. If you have little ones, though, you do need to store cleaning supplies up high and preferably in a locked cabinet.

Store outdoors-wear neatly
We don’t often to have to wear jackets here once winter is over, but we all know what it’s like to carry an extra sweater in the summer to guard against strong air conditioning in public spaces! Having a custom closet built in close proximity to your front door can be very helpful in getting extra jackets, sweaters and shoes out of your front entryway. Remember that sweaters should be folded instead of hung, so shelving or drawers are necessary. Shoe racks can hold shoes, sandals, flip flops and other footwear to avoid having them clutter up your foyer.

Take control of your pantry
Since the pantry is behind closed doors, it’s easy to let it get cluttered and messy. Quickly go through it, grouping like items together, putting heavier items like drinks and glass bottles on the floor or on a low shelf, and lighter, boxed items up higher. Having pull-out shelving in the kitchen can make this task much easier.

Get your home office decluttered
Do you work from home? If so, you know that your home office organization needs to be top-notch. A custom home office organization system can make the difference between an hour spent rifling through paperwork and an hour spent making you money! From file cabinets to desktop organizers, talk to your custom closet professional about how you can make sense of your home office once and for all!

Spring cleaning is something that needs to start with basic decluttering, then extends to scrubbing out each nook and cranny. Once your house is tidy, it will be much easier of a task to go through with your scrub brush and cleaning solutions in order to banish the dirt!
