Time to Declutter

It’s that time of year again – spring cleaning time! Time to open those closets and garages and get rid of all the stuff that’s been piling up over the years. Say goodbye to those old clothes that don’t fit anymore, the shoes you never wore, and the stuffed animals that have been collecting dust.

Out with the Old

Take a good look at everything you own and ask yourself if you need it. If not, it’s time to let it go. Donate it to charity, Kiwanis and the Arthur L Johnson High School Key Club Kids will gladly accept your bags of goods. Clearing out the clutter will not only make your space look better, but will also make you feel lighter and more organized.

Enjoy Your Clean Space

Once you’ve decluttered and dropped off your bags at the ALJ high school, and organized your home, take a moment to enjoy your clean space. Breathe in the fresh air, admire your tidy closets, and revel in accomplishment. Spring cleaning may be a lot of work, but the result is definitely worth it.
