If your entryway always becomes a jumbled pile of shoes and coats, consider adding a storage bench and hooks to bring some order to the area. If the kids\u2019 toys always accumulate in the living room, add a storage chest or large baskets to store them when not in use. If tools and equipment make the garage unusable, install shelving units to keep everything in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Eliminate the excess. <\/strong>Spring cleaning is also an opportunity to declutter and make way for something new, either by donating or selling unused things. Whether it\u2019s last season\u2019s fashion and accessories or unused tech and fitness gear, that item you never used \u2013 or haven\u2019t used in a while \u2013 may be exactly what someone else is looking for. Online platforms can make the process easy and be a way to earn extra cash or help fund other home upgrades. Look for marketplaces that help you maximize your return; eBay, for example, is giving sellers 200 free listings every month, meaning you only pay after your items sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reimagine your living space.<\/strong> If one area is becoming too crowded or doesn\u2019t serve your family\u2019s needs, consider items you can repurpose for another part of the home. For example, move an unused chair in your living room into a bedroom to create a reading nook. Keep your focus on function as you make changes that accommodate your lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/15688_A-Large-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1173\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/15688_A-Large-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/15688_A-Large-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/15688_A-Large-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/15688_A-Large-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/15688_A-Large-1600x1067.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/15688_A-Large.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Make smart additions. <\/strong>Once you\u2019ve cleared your space, and sold things you no longer need, you can convert that extra cash into reliable home appliances and tech. For example, purchase or upgrade items like vacuums, lawn mowers, power washers, drills and more to help take your spring cleaning to the next level. You can make your money go further by choosing certified refurbished products; some marketplaces like eBay offer inventory that has been professionally inspected by the manufacturer, or a manufacturer-approved vendor, to look, feel and work like new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Commit to revisiting regularly.<\/strong> It\u2019s easy to let clutter and disorganization slide when you get busy with life\u2019s demands. Once your spring cleaning and reorganizing is complete, commit to reassessing your home on a monthly or quarterly basis so you can make small adjustments along the way, rather than face a major project every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shop Smarter<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering refurbished products for your shopping list can expand your options and make it easier to purchase top-of-the-line brands without going over budget. From tech and small kitchen appliances to outdoor power equipment, you can discover a breadth of items often in like-new condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Shop for Multi-<\/strong><strong>P<\/strong><strong>urpose Items:<\/strong> When upgrading your arsenal of gadgets, tools and small appliances, look for items that can serve multiple purposes. For example, many vacuums can transform into steamers or include mop attachments and some pressure cookers can also be used as air fryers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Feel Confident in Your Purchase:<\/strong> Sometimes upgrading means investing in a premium product you can count on to last longer than entry-level models. With eBay\u2019s Certified Refurbished program, you can find popular, professionally inspected name brands at up to 50% off, all of which are backed by industry-leading two-year warranties for peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep Sustainability in Mind:<\/strong> Keeping functionality in mind and buying like-new items not only saves you money now and in the future but can also help protect the planet by extending the life of products and reducing unnecessary waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about buying refurbished at <a href=\"https:\/\/pages.ebay.com\/certified-refurbished\/cr-program-hub.html\">eBay.com\/CertifiedRefurbishedHub<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring cleaning isn\u2019t just about purging dirt and grime.
