Five Items to Declutter During Summer for a Fresh, Organized Home
Summer is the perfect time to declutter your home and refresh your space. With longer days and a more relaxed vibe, it’s easier to tackle areas that may have gathered excess items over the year.
At Declutter and Reset, we know that clearing out unused or unnecessary things can create a sense of calm and make your home more enjoyable during the warmer months.
Here’s a list of 10 items to declutter during summer to give your home a breezy, organized feel.
1. Old Beach Towels and Summer Linens
Beach towels, picnic blankets, and tablecloths can pile up over time. If you find yourself with faded, worn, or threadbare items, it’s time to say goodbye (contact your local animal shelter to see if they are accepting towel donations). Keep only the ones in good condition and store them in an easily accessible spot for summer outings.
2. Unused Pool and Outdoor Toys
If your garage or backyard is filled with inflatables, water toys, or pool gear you haven’t used in years, it’s time to declutter. Donate or recycle any items that are no longer needed, freeing up space for things you actually enjoy.
3. Excess or Broken Outdoor Furniture
Outdoor spaces are meant for relaxation, not clutter. Take a look at your patio or deck—do you have furniture or decor that’s seen better days or doesn’t get used? Simplifying your outdoor space will make it feel more inviting.
4. Expired Sunscreen and Bug Spray
Sunscreen and bug spray have expiration dates, and using them past their prime can be ineffective and even harmful. Go through your summer supplies and toss any expired products. Restock with fresh items that will keep your family safe all season long.
5. Outgrown or Unworn Summer Clothing
Summer clothes and shoes are often the first thing we grab as the weather warms up, but they can also become cluttered with unworn or ill-fitting items. Go through your family’s wardrobe (especially kids) and donate clothes that no longer fit or haven’t been worn in the last couple of summers.
