Grab some Windex and a clean rag. Shine all the kitchen and bathroom faucets in your home.

Winter is over for most of us. Spring is a good time to deal with winter wear. Some things need cleaning or mending, and it's a great time to sort through and declutter things.

Start with small stuff, like gloves, hats, etc. What needs mending or cleaning? Set it somewhere and schedule a time to deal with it. Move on to larger articles like sweaters and warm tops, then to coats and jackets. Many should probably be cleaned, and some mended. Cleaning clothes before you store them helps to discourage moths. So do cedar blocks stored with them.

As you go through your winter clothing, consider decluttering some. What did you not wear at all? Maybe you had a very mild winter and did not need as much, but perhaps it was a frigid winter. If so, consider why you did not wear some things. Do you not like the fit or the color? Or maybe it needed mending or cleaning, and you just did not get to it. Perhaps every time you reached for something to wear, you bypassed a particular item for no reason you could really put your finger on; you just did.

You know what comes next. Separate the clothes you did not wear this winter and consider why and whether you are likely to ever wear them again. If not, let them go. You will end up with a tidier closet and bless someone else with needed warm clothes next winter.

P.S. Tired of clutter? This can help you say Goodbye Clutter starting today!
