The best spring list of things to declutter with

Hello beautiful people! The new year has begun, and spring is coming. Suppose you have yet to throw out old things and declutter your life. Here is some inspiration to declutter. 

Spring adds new life and pristine beauty to all that is. It is always an exciting feeling to bring on the spirit in the season of renewal.  I want everyone to feel motivated to reset their homes and jump into spring with a clean house and mind.

I am not going to try to convince you that cleaning is fun. Very few people love doing chores. A song from “Mary Poppins”, the 1964 musical motion picture, comes to mind- A spoonful of sugar. This uptempo song sung by Julie Andrews is about Mary Poppins instructing the two children to clean their room. 

In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun; you find the fun and snap! The job’s a game. 

Even though decluttering can be daunting, it can still be fun with a good attitude. Play music, set a timer, reward yourself or do one small task a day. The same thing that motivates you to get through your workout can also get you cleaning.

Here are some Declutter Motivation Tips. 

Besides, I have your simple list of essentials you might need. I am not going to add vacuum cleaners or cleaning rags. Let’s keep it simple—the essential things to declutter with; the best spring list of things to declutter with. 

This essential cleaning list will be like sitting on a sharp tack that makes you spring out of your chair. Let’s start fast decluttering!

Natural cleaners and green cleaning products are competent to clean your house in a safe, non-toxic way. They are less toxic than many commercial cleaners and a lot less costly.

Non-toxic Everyday Cleaning Formulas

DIY an all-purpose cleaner in your very own kitchen. They can be made with two everyday ingredients: Vinegar and baking soda. 

One-step formula: 

1. Mix 1/2 cup vinegar and 1/4 cup baking soda into 1/2 gallon (2 litres) of water.

Alternatively, you can buy your commercial cleaner liquids in big bulk and fill them in smaller bottles.

All-purpose cleaners / Aluminium bottle – number 1 of the best spring list of things to declutter

We all know most plastics are non-biodegradable. No one knows how much our unrecycled plastic waste ends up in the ocean. But plastics are widely used because of their low cost, versatility and durability.

Environmental and sustainable materials such as glass and metal have since taken a hike in recent years because of being more environmentally aware. The understanding of the fragility of our environment and the importance of its protection is now more prevalent. 

There are several reasons why glass and metal are viewed as more sustainable than plastic. For starters, they are far more durable and resistant for many more years, making it a good choice for those looking for a reusable container for their liquids- a DIY all-purpose cleaner. 

These materials can also be quickly and easily cleaned and sterilised in boiling water. This enhances its reusable and sustainable properties. At the end of their life cycle, glass and metal lend itself well to recycling, further boosting their green credentials.

Storage / Laundry basket – Number 2 of the best spring list of things to declutter with

No one likes doing laundry. I think it’s fair to say doing laundry is boring. After a long hard day, the thought of tackling yet another endless load of dirty clothes is tiring.  It can be strenuous, and it involves lots of time waiting. 

No one likes doing laundry. I think it’s fair to say doing laundry is boring. After a long hard day, the thought of tackling yet another endless load of dirty clothes is tiring.  It can be strenuous, and it involves lots of time waiting. 

Unfortunately, everybody has to do it. Doing laundry means clean clothes and smelling fresh every day. We all know it is hard not to have a pile of dirty clothes. We’re all guilty of having a messy laundry pile.

Multi-Surface Cleaner

“What is a multi-surface cleaner?”

As its name suggests, the product can be used on multiple types of surfaces – be it stainless steel, glazed ceramic tiles, linoleum or glass, and different house spaces such as countertops, stovetops, sinks, floors, cabinets and walls.

However, the idea of an “all-purpose” cleaner is a bit misleading. I would suggest a Multi-surface cleaner is for maintenance cleaning. Sometimes the kitchen and bathroom need a more robust cleaner to combat mould.

Essential Oil / Storage – Number 3 of the best spring list of things to declutter with

I think essential oils are essentials. Essential oils basically plant extracts. They’re made by steaming or pressing various parts of a plant (flowers, bark, leaves or fruit) to capture the compounds that produce fragrance. They can help with sleep, headaches, breathing, allergies, congestions, nausea and anxiety. 

And we all know they smell divine. However, essential oils can be pricey. 

“Have you ever knocked over all the essential oils on your nightstand when reaching for something?”

“Have you lost them at your house because they are so tiny? 

Well, we don’t want to be misplacing them or breaking them anymore.

Talking about decluttering your space, you could also declutter your mind. Simplify your life and feel more relaxed with meditation. Take a breather and declutter mentally.
