#Bathroom clutter

New season, new needs. While bug spray, tanning creams, and after-sun care products are a must for the summer, there is little use for these types of products during the fall. That’s why it is a good idea to do some bathroom decluttering. Remove any products that are old, expired, contaminated, or unusable. Check on the back of the products for the symbol that suggests how long you can use it after opening. You also need to get rid of items that you will not be using for the season, like beach towels, so you can make space for the must-have skincare ingredients for autumn.

#Clothes and shoes

Now that the weather is cooler, you will need to make some space for all your cozy sweaters. While you are changing up the wardrobe you have the perfect opportunity to do some decluttering. As you are putting your summer clothes away go through them and get rid of the items you don’t wear or that are damaged. The same goes for the fall items you are placing in the wardrobe. There is no need to pile on clothes and shoes you don’t really wear. Plus, this will make space for some new trendy pieces.

#School supplies

It’s back-to-school time. This means more school supplies, uniforms, and sports equipment will be finding their way into your home. All of these new items mean more clutter. In order to battle this, it’s a good idea to do some decluttering before the school year starts or at the beginning of it. Get rid of broken pencils, used erasers, dried-out glue sticks, ripped uniforms, and so on. There are plenty of supplies that have no use anymore, so there is no point in them sitting around taking up space that can be put to good use.

#Expired food

As we transition from summer into fall, it’s a good idea to go through the pantry, fridge, and freezer. As the seasons change, so do our cravings which means we will start to stock up on fall foods. However, before you go grocery shopping it’s a good idea to check out what is left in your kitchen. Throw out any items that have expired and put those with a short expiration date in front, so you can see them and use them on time. Plus, this will help you get a clear idea of what you need to stock up on for the season.

#Seasonal decor

Who doesn’t love some good old seasonal decorations? They can really help put you in the right mood for the season and the holidays to come. However, before you start decorating, it’s a good idea to go through all your decor and declutter a bit. Seasonal decor easily gets damaged throughout the years yet for some reason at the end of the season we simply shove everything back into boxes without putting in much thought. Well, it’s time to make some space and clear out any decorations that are damaged, broken, or you are simply not a fan of anymore.
