It's amazing how many people own clothes  that they never wear.  Take everything out of the closet  and start fresh.

• Give away unwanted items!  Keep in mind that if you haven't worn an item of clothing  in the past year, chances are you probably never will. 
• Once everything is out of the closet and in a pile, dust ,sweep , and polish  all parts of the closet.
• Think about investing in a shoe rack  or clothes organiser  to separate and divide articles of clothing and open up much more room. 
• If you have little space to begin with, consider packing away winter clothes  into a large bin  and storing them until the cold weather returns. 

You spend a large amount of time in the bathroom, and it shows.  Dust collects on toiletries  and porcelain and will need to be cleaned. 

• De-clutter any shelves ,sinks , and the bath .  Wipe down these areas with a sponge  and strong bathroom cleaner . 
• To get that unwanted grime in the grout, scrub the tile with a toothbrush  and lime cleaner .
• Invest in a non-chemical toilet bowl cleaner  and a new toilet brush .  You can even find eco-friendly  alternatives available on the market these days. 
• Sweep  hair and dust off of the floor first and then mop  any floor tiles with a floor cleaner . 
• Replace the hand towels  with fresh ones and light some fragrant candles  to finish it off.

This area of your home sees a lot of action.  If done right, you can complete this chore in an afternoon. 

• Clean out your cupboards ,fridge , and freezer .  Throw out any out-of-date foods and look into placing others into air-tight bags . 
• Make sure to wipe down any surfaces with an anti-bacterial spray  before replacing any foods. 
• Degrease stove tops  and range-hood filters .  Tackle burnt-on splatters with an all-purpose cleaner  and Brillo pad . 
• Wipe down the microwave -- in AND out. 
• Don't forget to mop  the floors clean!

Believe it or not, in between linens and cushions lie millions of little dust mites that you surely will want gone.  

• Take your mattress  outside to get some air for awhile. 
• Invest in a new mattress cover .  This is a great way to keep dust and dust mites out.
• Wash all sheets ,pillows , and duvet covers .   
• Dust the cobwebs in the corners and don't neglect the air vents ! 
• Tackle any light fixtures  or ceiling fans  as well.   Use a gentle cleanser.

Get friends and family together and have a good clearing out of the garage ,shed ,patio ,garden , etc.  It's always fun and easy to have more hands involved! 

• If you can clear the clutter out of these spaces, then you can find more room for recreational items such as bicycles ,camping gear ,garden furniture , and sporting equipment.  
• Give your garden a helping hand.  Don your gardening gloves  to pull out weeds and trim  hedges. 
• Spring is also a great time to sow some seeds  and prepare for the growth of new fruits  and vegetables  in the summer!  
• Wipe down all patio furniture  and give your patio area a good sweeping .
