Great Tips for a Clean, Healthy & Organized Home from Capital Vacuum

Clear the clutter, clean the dirt and dust  - and start enjoying your home again!

Most people have a positive outlook when their surroundings are neat, clean and organized. They are less stressed and more content in their home. Experts say those who live in an organized environment have a better sense of well-being. They feel like they have control, both mentally and emotionally.

For most of us, clutter builds up, little by little, and if we are not careful, we become victims of clutter creep. All kinds of items can contribute to clutter - from clothes, to books, to mail, to toys, to knick-knacks (the list goes on and on). 

It’s time to clear the clutter...

Do the obvious first - empty waste cans - remove the trash from bedrooms, bathrooms,  kitchen, basement and garage. Pickup dirty clothing and towels - put them in a designated hamper or basket - out of sight in a closet or laundry room. Donate unworn clothing, furnishings, etc. that are in good condition to a worthy charity, give away or sell unwanted items you just don’t need any longer.

Open up walkways in every room so your home will feel more spacious, and safer too.

Also, minimize knick-knacks, collectibles and trinkets from all surfaces. Keep some items or mementos out where you can enjoy them. Put others away, then periodically bring them out from storage, and put them on display in place of the others - your space will feel more organized and less cluttered. Sometimes less - is indeed, more.

Categorize items by putting like things together for easy retrieval later. Make use of storage boxes, and label their contents. Put the items you use most where they are easily accessible, store away lesser used or seasonal items.

After picking up and clearing the clutter - it’s time to clean it up. Use a good quality vacuum to deep clean your home. A cordless floor mop to clean your floors. Even an air cleaner to reduce allergens is a great idea. Get a cordless stick broom for quick cleanups.

Then sit back and enjoy your clean, organized, beautiful home!
