Spring Clean Your Flintshire Home by Turfing Out These 12 Thingsš§¼
Donāt have time to be a domestic god or goddess and give your home a full spring clean?
Well, why not do the next best thing and declutter a few key areas of your property.
Scientific studies have shown that clutter can negatively impact mental health and productivity.
So, by turfing out unwanted and unnecessary items, youāll face spring with a greater sense of calm and focus.
Hereās a list of things you should purge from your property this spring.
In the kitchen
Raid the freezer and throw out anything thatās been there for more than a year ā if you havenāt eaten it by now, itās unlikely that you ever will, and itās just taking up valuable space.
Also, go through your pantry and bin out-of-date items such as condiments and tinned food.
Cooking oils can also degrade over time, so if itās a bit on the nose, itās got to go.
Now itās time to turn your attention to your Tupperware drawer. Any plastic containers that donāt have a lid should go in the recycling bin.
Bathroom
Dispose of out-of-date medicines and old cosmetics (which can cause skin and eye irritation). Also, check the expiry date on sunscreen products, which typically have a three-year shelf life. Expired sunscreen can increase the risk of sunburn and skin damage.
If you have a stash of hotel toiletries rolling around in the back of a drawer, ask yourself if youāll ever use them. If the honest answer is no, give them to someone who will.
Bedroom
One of lifeās mysteries is that socks always seem to vanish into thin air.
Where do they go? We donāt know. But itās time to face facts and ditch that
pile of single socks youāve been holding onto in the vain hope that youāll be able to make a pair someday soon. Itās not going to happen.
Other items to get rid of include unused coat hangers, underwear thatās seen better days (your lucky pants may have lost their magic) and knackered pillows that are as flat as pancakes (theyāre probably harbouring dust mites).
From all of us here at Keystone, happy decluttering.
