If you are anything like me, a new year means it’s time to deep clean my entire home. So starting fresh and clean around the first of the year is the perfect time to set yourself up with a clean house. Whether you need to deep clean or just tidy up, the cleaning process can vary on timing. Just keep your goal of a clean home on the top of your mind, and you will accomplish it!
Closet
The closet is the perfect spot to start when cleaning up your home for the new year if you are anything like me. Get rid of any items you haven’t worn in the last year and do not see yourself wearing this next year. Make a donation box to give to friends and family or donate to a local thrift store. You can also list items for sale at places like Poshmark or Facebook Marketplace. Places like Target, Amazon, and Walmart also sell items to help organize items in your closets like shoes, hats, and purses. This could be especially helpful if you are cleaning a small space.

Clean out the garage
Garages seem like a spot where junk goes to sit. So when it comes to cleaning up your home for the new year, cleaning out your garage can be a great place to start. When going through your items, this is the time to think: Do I need to keep this? Or is this unwanted junk that I should get rid of?
If you have large items or lots of junk piling up in your home, apartment, or garage, using a service like Junk Queen TX can be beneficial! Junk Queen TX offers a full-service, stress-free process where we come to your home, and they will respectfully listen to your instructions and remove all debris and junk from everything to mattresses, appliances, furniture, to hot tubs.
Organize your kitchen
Organizing a space as your kitchen has never been easier. For inspiration, I love to look on Pinterest and Tiktok. You can buy so many great kitchen organizing products to organize everything from your spices to food cabinets. Also, look at places like Amazon, Target, IKEA, and even Dollar Tree for organizing items to help your space.
A deep clean of the fridge and pantry can also clear up a lot of space. Get rid of old items that are expired or that you have never used. Consider donating unused items to a local shelter or food pantry.
Clean up your backyard
Cleaning and organizing your backyard can be the next step to having the home of your dreams. If you have lots of junk, trash, or debris in your backyard, I would suggest renting a dumpster, so you have a space to put all your trash. Dumpster rental in Cedar Hill, TX, has never been easier than with Junk Queen TX. They will deliver the dumpster to you, and you can take your time, knowing you have multiple days to fill up your dumpster before they come to pick it up.
An outdoor shelf can be beneficial to put your items and plants on if you are trying to set up your outdoor space. I always believe less is more when organizing an outdoor space.

Bathroom cleanup
When it comes to cleaning up the bathroom, it’s time to ask yourself the same questions: how long has it been since I used this product? Do I still need it? If the answer is no or it’s been a long time… throw it away! Declutter your space by throwing away items that you will not use. Organizing compartments or storage shelves can also be a great way to organize shelves or areas under the sink.
Overall when it comes to cleaning up your house after the new year, stay focused and keep your eyes on the prize. Take it one day at a time and find a solution that will make your home perfect for you and your family. Remember to research tips and ideas on websites like Pinterest!
