Pre-Holiday Cleaning Christmas is right around the corner, and it with it comes an influx of gifts and visitors. Trying to stay on top of housework between Christmas parties and shopping trips can be daunting, much less trying to get a head start on decluttering for the coming new year. Squeezing in pre-holiday cleaning does not have to be utterly time consuming. Just a little improvement here and there is still work done, and you can see and appreciate the difference. Here are some tips for pre-holiday cleaning: Don't skip over the big items. It's easy to pass right over the large appliances or pieces of furniture during your assessment, but that doesn't make them more necessary than smaller bits of clutter. Take a second look at hot tubs, old decks, broken appliances, and old couches, and decide if you really need them. Removing a large item can make a huge aesthetic difference very quickly. Think about what new gifts are heading into your home. If you know that some things are being replaced, don't wait until Santa drops them off to get rid of the old model. If you don't absolutely need it, and you know you are getting another, go ahead and make room. Build decluttering into your schedule. Want to go through your wardrobe but feel you don't have time? Commit to looking through 5 items of clothing as you are getting dressed in the morning. Anything you don't want, add to a pile. The pressure of adhering to your morning schedule will help you decide if you really need that sweater. Focus on the areas of the house you spend the most time in. Making changes in your kitchen or living room will help you feel accomplished and successful, which will encourage you to continue decluttering. For the ultimate speed and efficiency, call Junk King.
