Spring is a great time for home organizing projects.

While Tidy Nest has been busy on-site helping our clients get ready for Spring, we wanted to share five easy spring tasks that you can tackle on your own!

Five easy spring tasks

1. Use Proper Containment

When switching out your winter clothes, use weathertight bins to ensure your clothing is protected from moisture, dirt and pests.

---

2. Donate

This is a great time to identify the items you didn’t wear this season and donate or give to someone else who will enjoy them.

---

3. Clean Out The Car

Replace the snow brushes for the picnic blanket, throw away all of those old receipts and food wrappers, and remove all the contents from your car console.

---

4. Clean Winter Shoes

Wipe down all your winter boots and shoes and store them in show containers to avoid dust and mold. You’ll add years to the lifespan or your shoes!

---

5. Refresh

Go through your pantry and discard any expired items and donate any non-perishable items you don’t use. Take everything out of your refrigerator, discard any expired items and wipe down shelving and drawers.

Tidy Tips: Four Fall Organizing & Productivity Tasks To Tackle This Weekend

Summer is behind us and fall is at its peak (northeasters - are you LOVING the amazing foliage this year?!) So we wanted to share a few organizing and productivity tasks that are guaranteed to make you feel like an organized genius.

Seasonal Clothing

I know it’s a little late for this one but if you’re busy like we are, you may still be stepping over that pile of summer clothes. Review and edit your summer clothing before switching to fall clothes. Donate/sell/give away any items you didn’t wear this season, recycle the faded bathing suit (some retailers recycle textiles even from other brands), and repair anything that got damaged this season. Make a list of items you need to replace for next year and watch for them to go on sale over the winter!

Garden

Wipe down all your garden tools, empty the flower pots, scrape off the dirt and rinse. Take inventory of what you have, what didn’t last thru the season, and what you need for next year so you can restock over the winter when gardening items are on sale.

Outdoor items

Collect all the pool floats and outdoor toys, wipe down using a mild antibacterial solution. Wash outdoor cushions and pillows. Once completely dry, they are ready to store for the winter. We opt for these oversized cushion bags for winter storage.

Holiday Prep

Get a headstart on the holidays. Start decluttering the guest rooms. Create a gift giving station. Give your pantry and kitchen a refresh. Review expiration labels and toss expired items, tidy drawers and remove any unwanted items so you have a clean slate for all those holiday meals.
