2017 is almost upon us. Folks across Roswell are busy making plans to join the gym, learn a new skill, and travel to new and exciting destinations. Out with the old, in with the new! Doesn’t your home deserve a fresh start, too?
3 Strategies for a Cleaner New Year
- Safety first. Okay, so you overstuffed the closet and moved the armchair into the walkway. We’ve all been there, right? But before you take another step, it’s time to make your home safe for your pets, kids, and yourself. Double check carbon monoxide detectors for optimal functionality. Walk through the house, moving anything that could block your path in the event of a fire. And make certain that nothing near the oven, fireplace, or vents is a fire hazard.
Go big at home. It’s easy to get caught up in the clutter, but we’re going big right from the start. Instead of dithering over which white polo shirt you want to keep, decide if it’s time to retire that scruffy old sofa from the living room. - Work out a schedule. Despite your best intentions, you probably won’t clean out the entire house before New Year’s. And that’s okay. Tackle your tasks one at a time, checking them off as you go. Make sure to schedule both short-term tasks (cleaning and laundry) and long-term tasks (decluttering and reorganizing the house).
