Autumn tidy

During autumn we often start spending more time indoors making it the ideal time to have an autumn clean. Here are some tips to make your autumn tidy an easy and efficient way to prepare for the colder days ahead.

Organising your tidy

If time is short you can spread your autumn tidy over several weeks, focusing on one room or part of your house at a time. Work through each room and sort through your items, packing away the stuff you won’t use over the coming months, while also bringing out of storage the autumn and winter clothes and items that you will need. It is also a great idea to create a third pile of stuff that you no longer use at all and either try to sell or give away to charity these unwanted items and clothes to help keep your home clutter-free.

Storage solutions

Having enough storage boxes is vital for making your autumn tidy run smoothly. We offer a wide range of storage boxes, but we would advise you opt for large, plastic clear boxes for storing away your spring and summer items. This is because these boxes can be easily organised and labelled, have a lot of space to pack away your spring and summer stuff, while also being clear so that you can easily see what is within each box. These boxes can also be safely stacked on top of each other, making them ideal for storing away in wardrobes or garages. Another great option, especially when packing away your spring and summer clothes, are vacuum bags as these decompress air making them flat and are ideal for storing under beds or within wardrobes.

Storing away your boxes

Ideally, keep your boxes stored in one place as this will make it easier when spring comes again and you are ready to retrieve your items. Keeping your boxes in one place will also mean that you don’t forget about boxes that have been stored in different locations, which could lead to you buying the same thing again before remembering where you placed the box.
