Here we are at Week 7 - This one is gonna be a LONG one for me!!
First, let's start like we did in the living room. All curtains down and washed. Do the same with your bedspread. While windows are bare, clean blinds and glass.
Clear off those stacks and piles on and around your dresser/chest of drawers. Then, dump each drawer, one at a time, or all at the same time into a central location. Clean drawers if necessary.
Go through and sort items. Decide what you want to have in the dresser drawers and put only those items back. Use the 4 box method to sort the remaining items. If you haven't worn an item in a year, ask yourself if you will wear it within the next year, if no then get rid of it! Do similar with items other than clothing that you find along the way.
Have you checked under the bed yet? Better do so! There could be shoes, books, and other items that have long since been forgotten. You might want to consider getting storage containers for use under there for your off-season clothing.
Now onto the closet! Use the same technique as the drawers. For shoes, try on all pairs if you can't wear them now, chances are you never will. Get ride of them!
Have you changed the linens on the bed? Turn the mattress first, so you won't wear a valley in it. Throw the pillows into the dryer to fluff, and pull out all the dust they collect.
Time to dust and clean off all the furniture, don't forget the TV and any mirrors you may have. Then Vacuum the room and closet!
