The 5 Fastest Ways to Sneak in Last Minute Spring Cleaning
It is officially June which means if you haven't gotten around to Spring cleaning yet, now is the time! Today we are giving you some ideas for your closet that take little to no time at all but have HIGH impact! First, let's get down to the dirty business… laundry. Make your life ten times easier by purchasing a divided hamper. This hamper from West Elm is a triple threat…literally. The three compartments can be used for lights, darks, and dry cleaning. If you don't have room for a hamper with three sections, at least consider two to separate dry cleaning from your wash and fold pieces.
If your problem seems to be larger than just sorting laundry (read:: you cannot currently see your floor due to the amount of laundry) consider using an on demand laundry service like Washio. They will come to your home, pick up your laundry and return it to you washed and folded. Are you particular about the way it's done? Feel free to leave some instructions for them too!
Next up is that closet of yours! Take a peek at it now – does it have a lot of plastic dry cleaning bags scattered within there? We understand that some items need to be protected from dust since they aren't worn nearly as much. Consider using a breathable cotton bag from The Container Store instead.
Ready to make some room? Forgo those bulky, tubular platic or wooden hangers for the thin, velvet option. Trust us, you will change and never look back! More closet space = less wrinkles in your new, favorite LBD.
Finally, if you are still packed to the brim in your closet, let us be your therapist for a second and let you know that you might have a shopping addiction. You are not alone. Luckily, we know how you can continue to have that addiction without breaking the bank or the closet rod with too many clothes – Give Le Tote a try! For a monthly fee you can rent clothing and accessories an unlimited amount of times!
Now get after that Spring cleaning before it's too late!
