Each January, many people make New Year's resolutions to clean up their messy homes or free themselves of the clutter that tends to pile up, but by February they're back where they started. This year, let the cleaning experts at Merry Maids help you stay on track with the following tips:
* Tackle your closet. "Out of sight, out of mind" seems to be the mantra for some when it comes to keeping closets organized. De-clutter this space by getting rid of any clothing, shoes or purses that haven't been worn or used in the past year. Donate unwanted items to a local charity or add them to your garage sale pile.
* Use the Web. One person's trash is another person's treasure. For items that you don't need or haven't used in a while, get rid of them. If you want to sell anything, take advantage of online auction Web sites. It's an easy and fun way to make some extra money.
* Have a plan. Throughout the year, set aside time to de-junk your home. Use this time to walk through your house, throwing away anything you don't need or want. By scheduling specific times to get rid of unwanted items, you'll be more motivated to get the task done.
* Get help. Sometimes you simply do not have the time to keep your home as tidy as you'd like. If cleaning from top to bottom every other week is too much to ask, consider calling in outside help from the experts at Merry Maids.
