Summer Cleaning Guide: How to Declutter, Organize, and Breathe Again

Why Summer is the Best Time to Clean


Cleaning supplies on white surface: blue and yellow gloves, sprays labeled "Summer," microfiber cloths, and a small bin. Bright and organized.

Let’s be real - summer is the best time to reset your home:

Windows stay open longer, kids are out of school, and the bright light makes it easier to see every dusty corner and overstuffed drawer.


Summer cleaning ≠ spring cleaning.

It’s less about scrubbing, and more about decluttering, organizing, and reclaiming space.


Start Here: 3 Things to Let Go of This Week


White storage unit, green chair, and potted plant in a room with wooden doors and floor, against a light striped wall. Calm, minimalist vibe.

What to Let Go Of

Why

Closet

Clothes you didn’t wear this spring

You won’t wear them next spring either

Kitchen

Expired dry goods, plastic containers with no lids

Instant space boost

Bathroom

Old cosmetics, near-empty bottles

Less clutter = easier morning routine

Tip: Don’t overthink it. If it feels heavy or annoying to keep, it’s already done its job.



 Stackable Plastic Storage Bins

When the clutter is gone, don’t rush to fill the space with pretty boxes.

Think function first.

Why plastic storage is your best friend in summer:

Gray sofa, white cabinet on wheels, and large potted plant with green leaves on a wooden floor, against a plain beige wall. Simple, calm setting.

  • Handles humidity better than cardboard

  • Keeps bugs out of linens, seasonal clothes, or garage tools

  • Easy to label, stack, and move

  • Affordable and durable

Tip: Choose transparent bins for visibility and label everything (yes, even “Random Cables”).


Easy Wins You Can Do This Weekend:


  • Sort one junk drawer (set timer: 15 mins)

  • Label 3 boxes in your closet

  • Create a “donate” box and put it in your car



You don’t need to go full minimalist. But when your home has breathing room, you do too.


Reset your rhythm this summer. And let smart storage help you keep it that way.
