Ah spring cleaning. One of my favorite activities! It feels so good to take everything out, wipe everything down, get rid of tons of things you don't need. I love taking a day when I don't have anything planned, throwing on some comfy clothes and just going to town on cleaning. I usually end up wasting time looking at old pictures, reminiscing about stuff I found hidden places, etc. but it's such a fun day! You feel so good once you get it all cleaned out! I imagine you have a spring cleaning day coming up soon so here are a few items from the msn.com list of 51 things to toss right now that I thought were best to get rid of asap. You can find all 51 items from msn.com here.
- Clothes - we end up hanging onto way too many clothes. If you haven't worn something in a year toss it
- Shoes - same goes for shoes. I end up hanging onto old shoes for some reason and I never end up wearing them so they just sit there
- Wire hangers - this is a tough one for me as you usually get them free from your dry cleaners but they can actually damage your clothes
- Single socks - why are we hanging onto these. That matching sock is never coming back
- Foods with freezer burn - it's always a good idea to clean out your fridge and freezer. There ends up being a few items in there you completely forgot out
- Food storage containers - we save and save and save and then end up with tons we don't need
- Device cords - I have so many cords for electronics I'm hanging onto just in case I need them but I have no idea to what they belong
- Instruction manuals - I hang onto these just in case I need to reference them. Waste of space as you can probably just get it online for free
- Office supplies - no you don't need 800 pens. Half of them probably don't even work anymore
