Wash Windows

If you haven't done it yet — now is the perfect time. Of course, you can hire a cleaning company, but no one is denying budget savings.

Choose a day when it's not too hot outside, ideally — cloudy. That way you'll see all spots and streaks on the glass. We happen to have a detailed guide on how to wash windows quickly.

Declutter the Balcony

Get rid of everything unnecessary: a balcony should not turn into a storage room. For example, car wheels can be secured to brackets and lifted up to the ceiling. For small items, a modular system with shelves and racks will work.

By the way, a clean-up here wouldn't hurt either. We recently told you how to wash the balcony from the other side.

And in the Wardrobe

This might take a whole day, but it's worth it. Pull all your clothes out of the closet and sort them by category to see what you can get rid of. We explained in detail how to do this.

Move all unnecessary items up high — you won't need your warm winter clothes in this season. Don't forget to label all bags and boxes.
