  2. Declutter & Donate – Go through closets, pantries, and storage areas to get rid of items you no longer need. Donate usable goods to local charities.
  3. Freshen Up Fabrics – Wash or dry clean curtains, vacuum upholstery, and rotate or deep clean rugs for a fresh look.
  4. Sanitize High-Touch Areas – Disinfect doorknobs, light switches, remote controls, and frequently used surfaces to eliminate germs.
  5. Organize the Garage – Sort through tools, sporting equipment, and seasonal items. Install shelving or storage bins to keep everything in order.
