Streamlined Homekeeping: Discard These 3 Items Every Summer for a Neater Living Space – Carry Over the Benefits into the Following Summer
In the spirit of the sunny season, it's time to declutter your home and embrace a minimalist lifestyle. Here are some tips to help you get started.
Minimalists often discard out-of-season clothes during the transition from winter to summer and vice versa, using the seasonal swap method to keep only current-season clothes accessible. This practice helps in maintaining a tidy, streamlined home.
One of the items that minimalists typically discard during summer is off-season clothes. If you haven't worn a particular item during the current or previous summer, it's time to declutter it.
Another essential step is to declutter expired sunscreen and bug spray. Since these products expire and take up space, minimalists throw out duplicates and old bottles to keep only what will be used this summer. A perforated basket is available for storing sunscreen, with a non-slip double handle and designed to prevent moisture build-up.
Minimalists also discard summer-related worn or redundant items. This includes things like worn-out flip flops, broken sunglasses, pool toys with holes, extra tote bags, and beach towels that have become clutter over the season.
Outdoor gear to keep should be weather-resistant, waterproof, and resistant to mildew and UV fading. A durable storage box is available for outdoor gear, featuring a resistant resin material and coming in two colours. A hanging outdoor pool float organizer is heavy-duty, built to handle bigger and heavier floats, and comes with an adaptable inner-support system to prevent sagging.
Tracy McCubbin, a professional organizer, advises decluttering backyard and summer gear during summer decluttering. She also recommends boxing or storing everything else to declutter the closet and streamline the morning routine.
If you're looking to declutter your bathroom, it's crucial to declutter expired bathroom products, including sunscreen and bug spray. An underbed storage bag is ideal for storing blankets, linens, clothing, and more, with a secure zipper and clear PEVA plastic top.
Tracy McCubbin has been professionally decluttering and organizing since 2006, with over 20 years of hands-on experience. She advises trimming down duplicates of seasonal products and only keeping what will be used this season.
Swimsuit bags are available in reinforced material with reclosable zippers, suitable for the pool, beach, or storage. A set of three closet storage boxes is available for organizing swimwear, featuring a durable, functional, and easy-to-clean design.
By following these tips, you can declutter your home and embrace a minimalist lifestyle, making your summer more enjoyable and organised. Happy decluttering!
