Wash Windows

If you haven't done it yet, now is the time. 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. That way you'll see all spots and streaks on the glass. We have a detailed instruction on how to wash windows fast.

Declutter the Balcony

Get rid of 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 do.

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

And in the Wardrobe

This may take a whole day, but it's worth it. Take out all your clothes from the closet and sort them by categories to understand what you can get rid of. We explained in detail how to do it.

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