How to clean and reorganize the closet under the stairs
"It was filthy dusty, cluttered and messy but now it's not."
How I did it:
- Took all the boxes out of the closet
- since some of them had been stored for a while, I went through and eliminated anything I could part with (clothes, old xmas ornaments, reno leftovers)
- reboxed some things into boxes that fit better under the stairs
- swept out all the dust & dead spiders, straightened the insulation and vacuumed the corners, furnace ducts and pipes.
- put all the boxes back in a way that they fit well togetther
And now I have more storage space. YAY!!!
Lessons & tips:
- Pulling out all the boxes at once makes it a lot easier to see how they could fit better when they go back.
- Vacuuming pipes is only crazy if you do it every week, once every few years is ok.
- This was a closed space with a lot of dust, I really wish I had used a dust mask when I swept.
