Spring cleaning always turns into a bigger mess, but that’s kind of the point, right? Removing everything from its place, deciding on if it stays or goes, and then reorganizing.

In every room a good rule of thumb is to have a donate, trash, and organize bin.

If you are on Pinterest there are a million ways to organize little areas in your house. If you haven’t jumped on this organizational bandwagon now is the time. Look through what would work best for your house and needs. We aren’t saying that you need to purchase individual jars for your pantry, get some decorative storage boxes for odds and ends, or some smaller organizational bins for that Junk Drawer.

We created a free spring cleaning checklist to make sure you don’t get lost among the clutter. We divided each room into its separate chores. Rooms included: kitchen, living room, bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry room, garage, and the outdoors. These printables are a perfect edition to your home binder.

Here are our favorite organization products divided by each room:

The Kitchen and Living Room

Junk Drawer Organization

It’s time to organize your junk drawer. First, dump everything out. Have your trash can close by because you will be using it.

Purchasing just a few bins will help greatly with keeping this drawer clean and organized. The picture shown below is from Made Smart and is one set. You can purchase multiple sets which would work well for other drawer storage or a craft room. Sort everything into groups so each group can easily be placed in its own bin. Price $10.39

 Spice Cabinet

A spice cabinet is pretty similar to a junk drawer in the sense that items are thrown around and not organized. Just by adding a 3-tier spice rack made all the difference in this space. Having the 3-tier allows each spice to be more visible, and cuts down on your cooking time.

This small item will make a huge difference! The spice rack shown is from Copco and is only $7.99!

Cords

Cord organization at its finest. These adjustable organizers from Baltic Living will hide all your cords and keep them neat and tidy. We loved this design because of the flexibility you can make this product to accommodate any cord bundle. Price $13.99

The Bedrooms and Bathrooms

Decorative Storage Boxes

The clutter that you can’t throw away still needs to be hidden. If something doesn’t have a “home” it is easy to keep piling items. As you can see in the picture below, the top shelf of a closet becomes a dumping place for t-shirts and items not worn regularly. Go through your clothes, figure out what stays and what goes and what can be stored away during the off seasons.
