Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be painful if you follow some of these common sense tips. It’ll take a little work but you’ll love the results… declutterd domestic bliss!

• Sort & Purge: Can’t decide what to keep or what to toss? Put like with like so you can easily decide if you really want to keep a specific item. Once you put them next to each other, you can quickly decide which one is best.
• Kitchen Zones: Kitchens have 4 main areas: prep, baking, cooking and washing. Put towels near the sink, knives near the cutting boards in the same area that you actually prep, pots and pans and stove-top gadgets near the stove, etc.
• The two-year rule: If you haven’t used it or worn it in two years, then it’s time to say bye-bye. These items take up valuable space and probably won’t be missed.
