Can you believe the holiday season is here again? Decorations are everywhere! The malls, local colleges, places of interest in the community and town squares are covered with lights, ornaments and garland. The trimmings along with the holiday music inspires us to decorate our own homes.

Since this is the perfect time of the year to do your fall cleaning, below are 5 tips to help you get the job done:
  1. Make a "to do" list: List cleaning tasks that need to be done before decorating.
  2. Ask for help: If your list is overwhelming, don't be afraid to ask a friend, family member or a professional organizer for help.
  3. Donate/Sell: Take this opportunity to bless someone with usable items, donate to charity or sell items for extra cash.
  4. Discard: Check all your closets and/or storage areas and discard broken, soiled or unusable items. 
  5. Decorate your "halls" to your liking and enjoy the holidays!

  1. The holidays really are a great time to do some of these basic cleaning tasks. When you're cleaning up while putting the decorations up, you hardly even know that you're doing work!
