The frost is melting off the fields, the birds are returning to Jackson County, and that familiar urge to "freshen up" is hitting every household. Spring cleaning is a Midwest tradition, but it can quickly become overwhelming if you don’t have a plan—or the space—to handle it.
If your closets are bursting and your garage has become a "catch-all" for winter gear, this guide is for you. Here is how to master spring cleaning in Buckner, MO, and reclaim your home this season.
In Missouri, we know that winter gear takes up massive amounts of space. Heavy parkas, snow boots, and space heaters are essential in January but eyesores in April.
Tip: Don’t just shove winter clothes into the back of the closet. Use vacuum-sealed bags to compress bulky coats and store them in a small self-storage unit. This keeps them clean, moth-free, and out of your way until next November.
Is your car currently parked in the driveway because the garage is full of snow shovels, sleds, and winter tires? Now is the time to rotate your equipment.
Move the snowblower to the back and bring the lawnmower to the front.
If you still lack room, our drive-up access units at Osage or Central Street are perfect for seasonal equipment rotation.
As you go through each room, use the three-pile rule:
Keep: Items you use daily.
Donate: Items you haven't touched in a year.
Store: Sentimental items, seasonal décor, or furniture you aren't ready to part with but don't need in your living room.
Once the clutter is cleared, it’s easier to tackle the deep cleaning:
Windows: Wash away the winter grime to let that Missouri sunshine in.
Baseboards: Dust and wipe down the edges of every room.
Filters: Change your HVAC filters to improve air quality after a long winter of closed doors.
