5 Tips to Ease the Pain of Cleaning Up After the Holidays

Happy New Year my organizing friends! Hoping your holiday was fantastic. Unfortunately, it’s clean up time! Here are 5 quick tips to help ease the pain of the clean up process.

5 quick tips to help organize your holiday clean up.

  1. Use clear bins if you can. Being able to see what’s in the bin is very helpful when taking items out next year.  

2. Label, label, label! Label each bin with every item inside the bin. This seems tedious but you will be thankful next year. You can use a label maker or use the original label tape….masking tape and a sharpie! If you zone decorate like I do, don’t forget to add the zone label. 

3. Using an extension cord reel or any type of cord organizer will help keep your lights from being a tangled mess. Label the lights so you know right where they go next year.  

4. Label wreaths and garland with the location where they will be used. I use garland in 3 different spots and each garland is a different length. Knowing where the garland belongs saves us time and frustration.

5. Make sure to take the batteries out of anything being stored.  

Once again, have a Happy New Year and happy organizing!
