Get a Clean Start: Tips for a Cleaner and More Organized Home
Kick 2014 off with organization projects to keep your home clean and to make room for the New Year.by Chinggay Labrador .

“Set a schedule for cleaning up, and divide the spaces of your home into modules,” she adds, recommending at least a weekend to cover a specific room. “Do not just say, ‘I’m working on the den today.’ Tackle a wall or a cabinet first, and then move on to the next module.” Working in small steps allows you to take breaks without leaving an entire room in chaos.
