How Can I Make (and Save) Money With Spring Cleaning?
You were stuck inside a lot this winter, and you’re excited spring is finally here. Extra daylight hours and spending time outside is boosting your energy and motivation to get things done. Nearing the top of your to-do list? Spring cleaning.
While having a clean house and sprucing up your yard is your goal, have you considered that you can make money with spring cleaning too?
As you make your house sparkle, items you no longer use or need can be heading to a new owner by selling or donating them. You might even save some money with a few spring cleaning tasks too!
Make a Plan Before You Start
Even with a dose of spring fever, you might lose your enthusiasm for cleaning after a few hours. That’s because cleaning often turns into decluttering; which can end up being a lot more work than you were planning on.
While moving from room to room, you can get overwhelmed by the winter accumulation of grime and by piles of things you want to get rid of. And if your motivation to deal with it all wanes, you could end up with a bigger mess than when you started.
If that sounds familiar, making a plan before you start your spring cleaning might be the solution.
