The 5 steps to follow for efficient storage of seasonal items
07 November, 2022
October is coming and you feel that irrepressible urge to organize your home as winter approaches and forces you to stay indoors more? Have you lost control of your closets at the same time as the start of the school year and the storage of summer items? Les Belles Combines has everything you need to help you organize your seasonal items once and for all , so that you can finally find them easily when the time comes!
Step 1:
Gather all the items that are related to a particular season, holiday, or activity . To help you determine each of the storage categories you will need, you can also get our seasonal storage labels !
2nd step:
Sort through what you want to keep, what needs to be thrown away, and what could be donated. This is the time to apply the “one year” rule: if the item hasn’t been used in the past year, it’s time to move on to the next one!
3 step:
Download and print our seasonal storage inventory lists to note what you have decided to keep in each of the categories you have previously determined. Since seasonal items are often stored in a place that is difficult to access, this inventory will allow you to quickly know what you have so that you do not have to return to your storage bin each time. This will quickly help you know what to say to your sister-in-law who gives you a sleeping bag she no longer needs or whether it is worth getting a set of Christmas lights on sale!
4th step:
Now is the time to put all these objects in a transparent bin (which will allow you to quickly see what you have!), to affix a label identifying the category of objects found there and to place these bins in the place of the house that suits you.
5 step:
Finally, enjoy the moment when everything is finally sorted in an orderly manner, and no longer waste your precious time looking for Christmas tree decorations or sand toys for your trip to the beach every year!
