3 ways to cash in on spring-cleaning

Spring is here! Many of us thought we’d never see the day. The sun’s out and it’s time to regroup and refresh. Take a glance around your home and really think about what you need and what needs to go. At the same time, consider these three tips for ways to save cash while cleaning house.

Rent equipment

Instead of purchasing a high-priced vacuum or steam cleaner (currently on Amazon they range anywhere from $100 to over $1,000), rent a quality cleaner from your local grocery or hardware store. That way you can return it when you’re through and you won’t be stuck with storing a large cleaning machine in your home.

Declutter your closet

You’d be amazed how productive you’ll feel once you do the ultimate closet cleanse. Check out these tips for decluttering your home and saving big. Once you’ve gotten rid of clothing, shoes, and accessories you don’t need, you’ll know what you really have room for and anything essential you are missing.

Shop smart

When it comes to purchasing cleaning supplies, discount stores are the way to go. Dollar General offers name brand supplies at a fraction of the price. You can also hit up your nearest warehouse store (Costco, Sam’s Club) for items you know you will be using more of. Check out this helpful list of the best spring-cleaning products for $10 or less.
