Some people like to begin their spring cleaning in the kitchen. The kitchen is the room that is usually used the most in a home. It is where your meals are prepared and keeping it clean and organized is a priority. Even though you may clean your kitchen daily, you still need to do that once a year deep clean that reaches the bottom of every drawer and the back of every one of the shelves.
For your kitchen spring cleaning, plan to empty every drawer and every shelf and wipe them clean. As you begin to put things back in place, take time to reconsider where things are being stored. Is there a deep drawer that you are always digging through to find things? Are all your baking pans together in one place? Perhaps moving some items to different areas will make your kitchen easier to work in.
Don’t forget to go through the items in your food pantry during your cleaning as well. Check for expiration dates. Throw out anything that is old. Reorganize this area too so that you can ..
University texts, family heirlooms, classic novels and children’s stories – we collect a lot of books over the years. Regardless of how we come by our libraries, we find at some point that we have to store them away. Proper care and storage are essential to extending the life of your volumes. Here are some guidelines for doing it right.
Cleaning. If the book is extremely dirty, lightly vacuum with a brush attachment. For light to moderate amounts of dust and dirt, use a magnetic dry cloth. Hold the book firmly closed so dust doesn’t get between the pages and wipe the book from the spine outwards. Make sure there is nothing stashed between the pages of the book. Paper items and pressed flowers are acidic and damaging to the pages. Fasteners like paperclips can stain and tear.
Packing. Take an inventory of your books, noting the title, author, publisher, year, ISBN (if present) and any other information you find pertinent. An inventory will help you locate ind ..
There are two essential elements to caring for and preserving your linens: proper cleaning and proper storage. Before organizing and packing your linens and bedding away, it is important that they have been properly cleaned.
Remember to check the tags for washing instructions, but as a general rule, anything made from cotton can be laundered in the washing machine put in the dryer. Remove and fold items right after the cycle has ended to avoid wrinkling.
Bedding items like pillows and duvets should be washed in an oversized or industrial washing machine. You want these items to agitate freely and rinse properly. By
extension, make sure that the dryer you use is of adequate size. The duvet should tumble loosely so that the air can pass through it effectively. Select medium heat. You
don’t want to scorch the duvet. Shake it out between dryer cycles to fluff the fill. It may take 2-3 cycles to completely dry.
To maximize loft, add tennis balls in clean white cot ..
Once you have made a list of your storage spots, think about how you might want to categorize the stuff that comes out of them: keep, fix, sell, give away, donate or recycle?

A quick assessment of your needs and goals will help you gain perspective and clarity for the work that lies ahead. ..

Are you an artist with an ever-growing art collection around your studio and are running out of space to store it?
Leasing a self-storage unit is a great option. It is a temperature-controlled space to store your valuable materials safe from the elements.
Here are some things to consider:
* Purchase boxes specifically designed for packing large paintings.
* Framed artwork should never be stored flat, as they can collapse under their own weight.

Trying to determine what size storage locker you need may seem like a science but it is not. You never want to commit to a size that is too small and have to move it to a larger storage locker. Nor do you want to have one that is too big and have needless extra cost.
When you are home, measure a room, say a bedroom. Then imagine all the items you are planning to store. Envision couches on end, boxes piled, dressers stacked, beds disassembled. Then determine if the room you measured is close in size to the amount you have to store.
Just remember when it comes to boxes and their contents, including their weight, you may not be able to stack to the ceiling of the locker as the lower ones may collapse under the weight of the ones above. ..
