Use these tips for organizing your home for spring cleaning to get your home organized ahead of your spring cleaning. This will make it easier to spring clean your home.

Tips for Organizing Your Home for Spring Cleaning

Spring is the perfect time to get your home organized. Tackling each room one at a time is the perfect way to do a thorough job and make sure no detail is overlooked. To get started, take a look at this helpful list below for how to spring organize room by room. By using this list as your guide, you can effectively tackle organizational issues you might have and enjoy a more functional space. And it will make it much easier to do a thorough job of spring cleaning your home, if you have decluttered your house and organized each room. Here is how you can get started!

Tips for Organizing Your Home for Spring Cleaning

Organizing Your Family Room

1. Add flat storage bins under sofas and chair for storage of DVDs, Blu-Rays, books, and other entertainment items.
2. Empty all drawers (inside tables, buffets, and storage cabinets) and discard or donate any items you no longer use. Add small bins or boxes to sort items out for easy access.
3. Corral the toys. Find decorative chests or baskets to hold all toys. Label each basket or bin with each child’s name.
4. Add Velcro to all remotes and attach them to the sides or furniture or to a designated storage station.
5. Re-do all shelving. Remove clutter and place the most used items on top. Place lesser used items at the bottom. Use small boxes or baskets to keep smaller items organized in one easy to find place.

Organizing Your Kitchen

1. Remove all cutlery and tools from drawers. Add drawer inserts to keep each piece organized and easy to find. Replace.
2. Organize spices in alphabetical order for easy access.
3. Add magnetic clips to the refrigerator to organize memos, coupons, or important lists.
4. Pair all Tupperware up with lids. Remove any odd lids and recycle.
5. Sort out pantry by food category. Group like items such as canned goods, dried goods, cereals, snacks, etc. Make sure each item is in a category so it can be found easily.
6. Check food expiration dates. Check out the dates on items and move soon to expire goods to the front and keep those with a longer shelf life to the back.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to organize perishables in your refrigerator.
8. Use labels to keep food organized and easy to find.

Organizing Your Bedrooms

1. Empty out nightstand drawers. Add simple dividers or small boxes to keep items organized.
2. Clear off dressers and gather perfumes and toiletries into baskets.
3. Empty out dresser drawers. Use old shoe boxes to organize undergarments. Sort clothing items according to season or need and replace.
4. Add more hangers to closets if needed. Hang clothing according to season or need.
5. Gather accessories such as ties and belts and use a skirt hanger to organize them.
6. A piece of crown molding attached to the wall is a great way to organize shoes. Or, use an over the door shoe organizer.
7. Use Command peel and stick hooks to keep scarves, accessories, nightgowns, and other items hung up and within quick reach.
8. Slide thin storage units under beds for additional storage of clothing and accessories.

    I absolutely love your idea to use a small wine rack for towels and washcloths. Wine racks have always looked elegant to me and I think it would be a nice touch to my bathroom. I’ll get some mason jars as well to keep cotton balls. Thanks!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
