Spring is here! Last Saturday marked the first official day of spring. The spring season is a time of re-growth and renewal. Flowers and trees begin to bloom outside, while spring cleaning takes place inside. Here are just a few tips to help “spring” you into cleaning:
When in doubt, throw it out:
If you have suspicious looking food, condiments or spices that have resided in your kitchen far too long and/or they are questionable in smell or appearance – throw them out! This will improve your kitchen environment as well as your health.
One person’s trash is another person’s treasure:
If you have clothing that has been on a hanger or on a shelf for more than a year, it’s more than likely you will not wear it in the near future. Find someone who will make better use of these items rather than letting them occupy and clutter your closet space.
Out with the old, in with the new:
Just like food, it is important to remove outdated toiletries, such as lotion, makeup and sunscreen. Not only do these items lose their effectiveness over time, but they are not beneficial to your health either. Restock your shelves with new products that you will use in your everyday life.
