Getting Organized Before School: Clearing Clutter & Creating Productive Spaces

As the school year approaches, it’s prime time to declutter and organize your kids’ rooms. More than just tidying up, this process fosters a supportive environment. An organized space reduces stress, enhances focus, and sets the stage for academic success.

When organizing we think it is best to start in the closet, which probably holds clothes that no longer fit or are worn out. Sort them into three categories: keep, donate, and discard. Donated items can benefit charities or younger family members, while worn-out items should be discarded.

Once sorted, organize what’s left. Grouping by category or color simplifies selections for busy mornings.

Create your study space by paying close attention to the desk or study area. An organized space enhances concentration. Consider using pencil holders, bookshelves, and organizers, and add shelves above the desk for extra storage.

It is a great idea to establish a school hub by designating a specific area for school-related items like backpacks, lunch boxes, and shoes. this will help to stay more organized and reduce morning chaos. The entryway is an ideal location for accessibility.

Install hooks for backpacks and jackets, set up a shoe rack, and use labeled bins to maintain order.

Dog bringing in dirt
  • Declutter and Organize: Before you dive into the cleaning process, start by decluttering your space. Put away summer items that you do not need until next year – beach towels, inflatable pool toys, and lightweight summer clothes.

 

  • Dust and Vacuum: Dust and dirt accumulate easily during the summer, especially if windows and doors have been open for extended periods. Begin deep cleaning by dusting surfaces from top to bottom. Don’t forget to reach high places, ceiling corners, and ceiling fans. Follow up with a thorough vacuuming of floors, carpets, and upholstery to remove any lingering debris.

 

  • Clean and Refresh: Summer often brings its fair share of outdoor adventures, which can mean more foot traffic and messes inside. Start by wiping down surfaces like countertops, tables, and kitchen appliances. Give your bathroom a comprehensive scrub to remove any residue from sunscreen or sand. Change bed linens and flip mattresses for a fresh start to the upcoming season.

 

  • Tackle Windows and Blinds: Windows can accumulate grime, dust, and even sticky residue from bug splatters during summer. Clean both the interior and exterior of windows for a crystal-clear view. Don’t forget to clean your blinds or curtains, which can harbor dust and allergens.

 

  • Evaluate and Rearrange: With your space now clean and refreshed, take a moment to evaluate its layout. Consider rearranging furniture to embrace the autumnal mood.

 

  • Don’t Forget Outdoor Spaces: As you bid farewell to summer, give your outdoor spaces some attention too. Clean and store your outdoor furniture, grill, and other summer equipment. Sweep away fallen leaves and debris to prepare your outdoor area for the upcoming season

 

An end-of-summer deep cleaning is a ritual that helps transition your home from the carefree days of summer to the cozy and comforting embrace of fall. By decluttering, dusting, and refreshing your space, you not only maintain a clean environment but also create a sense of renewal for the upcoming season. So, roll up your sleeves and embark on this cleansing journey – your home will thank you with a fresh start to the autumn days ahead.
