Wash Windows

If you haven't done it yet — now is the time to do it. Of course, you can hire a cleaning company, but nobody cancels budget savings.

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

Organize the Balcony

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

By the way, cleaning here is also a good idea. We recently wrote about how to clean the balcony from the other side.

And in the Wardrobe

This may take a whole day, but the result is worth it. Take all your clothes out of wardrobes and sort them by category to understand what you can get rid of. We explained in detail how to do it.

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