CSRA Spring Cleaning Tips!
Spring is here! It’s the time of year we open up the windows and air everything out for a good spring cleaning! The great thing about spring cleaning is getting rid of all the stuff you don’t need anymore and freeing up space! The not-so-great part is trying to decide what to do with it all once you decide to get rid of it! It’s time to find that stuff a new home!
Finding The Best Place!
As it happens, there are tons of worthwhile non-profits looking for your gently used items all over the CSRA! The Catholic Social Services Thrift Store on Wrightsboro Road accepts gently worn clothing, outerwear, and shoes. Household goods like dinnerware, kitchen items, and bedding are accepted. Find a new home for your unwanted jewelry and accessories, heck, they even accept appliances! You can even schedule a pick up of your items if they are too large to bring in yourself. Proceeds from the Thrift Store help support Catholic Social Services of Augusta, a ministry that provides emergency assistance to poor, homeless, and at-risk individuals and families in the CSRA and surrounding areas.
Spring Cleaning
Another great place to check out is the Augusta Habitat for Humanity ReStore on Washington Road. while they don’t accept clothing, toys, or bedding the ReStore does take furniture, household goods, construction materials, appliances, doors, windows, and many other items in salable working condition. The ReStore sells new and gently used merchandise that gets donated by companies and individuals. Then these items are sold to the public at a large discount off retail prices. Their proceeds then go to benefit Augusta/CSRA Habitat for Humanity building operations. So, bargain hunters get a great deal, you get rid of things you don’t want laying around anymore with a little spring cleaning and Habitat for Humanity is able to help those in need. It’s a win all the way around!
26 Organizers To Help You Make Your Spring Cleaning Easier
Underwear/Sock Organizer
I recently bought this honeycomb organizer for my intimates drawer and I love it! It is super easy to assemble and it fits everything perfectly. All of my socks and underwear fit perfectly into the honeycomb design and it helps keep that top drawer so much more organized.
Shelf Dividers
For starters, I love this image because it totally makes me want to do this with my linen closet. I could easily see myself taking my towels and stacking them this way and it will easily help separate things, but this can also be great for the top shelves in your closet!
Blanket Storage Bag
One of the best parts about spring in our house is changing out the comforters. We no longer want to say all warm and cozy, we want to feel light and air especially as the temperature heats up. This storage bag is perfect for holding your heavy comforter and it can slip right under your bed or can be easily stored.
Over-The-Door Shoe Organizer
Eliminate the clutter of your shoes with a shoe organizer. This one fits over your door, so it can be easily put on the back of your closet door. This can help you store shoes that may not be a part of your daily use and also help you keep the bottom part of your closet less cluttered.
Shower Caddy
Need some more space in your shower? This shower caddy suction cups to the wall and holds a ton of your products. No need to worry about your shampoos and soaps falling off the rims of your tub ever again!
Hair Tool Organizer
Here’s an awesome way to keep your hair styling tools organized and free from clutter while also helping them cool down. This caddy can hold your hairdryer, curling iron, and straighter and features an open grated design to allow air to help cool down your tools without them having to burn you from being left out.
Three Drawer Clear Container
Store your makeup palettes, glasses, and other odds and ends in this clear container. It could be a great under the bathroom sink or on top of the counter option to help you keep things organized.
Tiered Cosmetic Organizer
Here’s another awesome cosmetic organizer. This tiered towered structure allows you to fit more products and easily grab what you need. It also has two drawers so you can store some small products items that may not usually stand up.
Tiered Pan Holder
This item is life-changing. Instead of trying to stack each pan inside of each other, try out this tiered pan holder. It keeps them safe and dry and hopefully helps you from having to lift all of the pans you don’t need out of the pan you do need.
Bamboo Drawer Dividers
Speaking of giving a home to everything, these drawer dividers are another perfect way to organize the drawer. This allows you to select the exact size you need for your drawers. So if you keep some of your larger utensils in your drawers you can section off where those will go versus where you keep your dry measuring cups and spoons.
3-Tier Under the Sink Organizer
Here’s another favorite item in my house. This 3-tier wired under the sink organizer is great for holding so many of my cleaning necessities like sponges, towels, smaller cleaning products, etc. It keeps things very organized and less cluttered since they don’t have to be in the original packaging.
Command Spray Bottle Hanger
When I tell you I found this and immediately purchased 3 for my house I mean it! These are currently sticking to the left door under the sink and holding my window/glass cleaner, multi-purpose cleaner, and stovetop cleaner. They’re great and they free up some space for me under the sink!
