With the change of season it is advisable to do a deep cleaning of the home that goes beyond the surfaces and clothes of the home. Take the opportunity to set up an authentic "cleaning operation" at home and put order in cabinets, drawers and attics by removing everything you don't use or need anymore. You will gain storage space and even others may benefit from what is no longer useful to you. Prepared?

  • Obsolete reference books: they only have outdated information and have become nothing more than a focus of dust accumulation. Many second-hand stores even reject them as outdated. Give them for other purposes, such as artistic or solidarity, for example.
  • Old best seller: a good book never ceases to be, even if you have read it many times. But, if you do not plan to do it again, it is best to give it to someone else or give it to any library or center that can take advantage of it.
  • Plastic bags: you know that throwing them in the trash is an attack on the environment, but if the accumulation becomes excessive, you can always throw them in the yellow container.
  • Expired spices : either because the expiration date indicates it, or because they have lost aroma or qualities, many of the spice cans that you accumulate in the kitchen or in the pantry can also be removed leaving a precious space.
  • Expired medicines: we tend to think that all the medicines that we store in the medicine cabinet can be useful again in the future. But from here we encourage you to review all the boxes. Probably more than 50% are already expired. It is a matter of statistics!
  • Promotional t - shirts: we all accumulate at home t-shirts worthy of an exhibition of «vintage» brands. If you do not wear them but since they are in good condition, you are sad to throw them away, donate them to charity or to a second-hand store. Another will take advantage of them thanks to your gesture.
  • Worn sheets : Although old sheets (inherited from your family) are usually of better quality than many current ones, the fabrics eventually deteriorate with use and washing. If the sheets have become slightly translucent, it is time to remove them.
  • CD and VHS collections: no matter how nostalgic they are, have you thought about the last time you used them? How long have you not played a CD? Do you still have the VHS video player? The answers to these questions will indicate the best solution, which could be to take all your collections to a second-hand store.
  • Old towels: if they have holes or have lost thickness considerably, it is time to remove them. A good idea is to donate them to animal shelters that always appreciate this type of clothing.
  • Loose buttons: the most cautious always keep those extra buttons that bring some clothes in case we lose the originals. But the accumulation can be such that it is worth proposing to the children some craft with the buttons (for them they are like jewels of different sizes, shapes and colors) or even take them to some sewing workshop.
  • Old cosmetics : a cream that you used and did not like, a makeup that was given to you but did not convince you, a colony that ended up getting tired, obsolete enamels, etc. Expired cosmetics have probably lost their qualities. And those you don't use, someone else can take advantage of instead of wasting them collecting dust, don't you think?
  • Worn batteries: apart from occupying a useless space, they are harmful to health and the environment. Find an appropriate container for this type of waste (in many supermarkets they install them).
