Spring Cleaning Checklist: What to Toss, Keep, or Donate

🌼 Spring Cleaning Doesn’t Have to Be a Chore

Ah, spring—the season of fresh starts and pollen attacks. It’s the perfect time to open the windows, shake out the dust, and finally deal with the clutter that built up over winter (and fall… and summer… and last year).
If you’re staring at a garage full of cardboard, a playroom full of broken toys, or a closet with “someday” jeans, don’t panic.
Here’s your ultimate spring cleaning checklist to decide what to keep, what to toss, and what to donate.

🧹 Room-by-Room: Toss, Keep, or Donate?

🛋️ Living Room

• Keep: Working electronics, books you love, functional decor
• Toss: Remote controls with no devices, cords with no purpose
• Donate: Gently used decor, DVDs, and books

🍽️ Kitchen

• Keep: Items you use weekly
• Toss: Expired food, mismatched Tupperware
• Donate: Duplicate utensils, small appliances

🛏️ Bedrooms

• Keep: Daily-wear clothing
• Toss: Socks with holes, single earrings
• Donate: Clean clothes you haven’t worn in 12 months

🏠 Garage/Shed

• Keep: Tools in working order
• Toss: Broken lawn chairs, expired chemicals
• Donate: Bikes, yard tools, garden items

📝 Pro Tip: Make a “Maybe” Bin

Too attached to toss something right away? Place it in a labeled bin. If you don’t miss it in 30 days, let it go. Easy.
