Organize your closet just in time for the summer.

Here are some really helpful tips on how to beautify your closet. One goal you need to keep in mind is this: IF YOU CAN SEE IT, YOU CAN FIND IT.

1. Before folding or hanging clothes up, take everything out and go over your clothings, bags, accessories and shoes. Are there any clothes that don't fit you anymore? Or clothes that you've not used for more than a year? How about outdated accessories? Shoes that are just not cool anymore? Separate all of these and donate.It no longer has any room inside your closet.

2. After you're done getting rid of clothes and shoes that you will no longer wear, organize your clothes a certain way so it won't be difficult to fin what you are looking for. How? Simple. You can do color coding, or separate casual wear, work wear formal wear & active wear. This not only saves you time in the mornings to get ready, but it also makes your closet better to look at.

3. Make use of hooks. Look at the space inside your closet that isn't covered by your clothes. Use these space for hooks to reclaim wasted space. Best for bags, belts, accessories, scarves, etc.

4. Have more space for rods? It's likely that you would. A normal closet would have one rod on top however, a second rod can be added in the middle. This could be home to your pants and skirts.

5. Get yourself some clear boxes. It might be considered as an eyesore but these boxes are awesome because it can be where you can put small items that can easily be lost in your closet. This way, you can see it right away and you won't be tempted to mess up because messing up means ugly closet.

Contrary to what a lot of people believe, cleaning the bathroom is NOT the hardest part of home cleaning. In fact, it can be done as quickly as 15 minutes. All you really need are the right cleaning agents and materials, then everything else will be easy.

What you need:

• Toilet brush
• All purpose cleaner (liquid or powder)
• Alcohol/disinfecting spray
• Scrubbing pad/brush
• Paper towel/rag

Step 1: First step is to get everything that you don't want to accidentally get disinfectant on. This includes toothbrush, toothpaste and the likes. Unless they are safely kept somewhere.

Step 2: Put liquid or powder cleaner on toilet bowl. Bleach if necessary. Let it sit there to absorb the cleanser. Then move on to the next step.

Step 3: Move the soaps, bodywash, shampoo and the like to a different area so you can scrub soap scum off it. Once completely done, dry the area using rag/paper towel before placing everything back.

Step 4: Move on to the shower/tub area. Before scrubbing with disinfectant, spray down with water. Scrub all areas, paying close attention to areas that get used more often.

Step 5: Go back to the toilet and brush all areas, not leaving the toilet stand, seat and flush. Make sure to spray alcohol/ disinfectant on the flush.

Step 6: Last step is to clean all mirrors / glass doors using glass cleaner and a dry newspaper or microfiber rag.

It is already common knowledge that one of the most important reasons why you need to regularly clean your home is for better health however, not everyone knows the importance of DEEP cleaning your home at least once or twice a year.

For some of you who don't know what a deep clean is may have heard what spring cleaning is. It is a more thorough cleaning of your home. This means, most areas that are ignored on a regular cleaning will also be touched. From inside kitchen cabinets, to closets, to walls, etc.

If you are clueless on where to begin your condo or house deep cleaning, here are some important tips to follow:

1. Step one should always be decluttering. Start one room at a time. Set a rule for yourself. If an item has not been used for a year, then get rid of it, either by donating or selling. Deep cleaning will be easier done when there are less things to deal with. Clothes not worn forever? Donate. Too many towels? Donate. Random paper bills from a few months ago? Throw it out.
2. One room at a time. Start with a bedroom. Do not overwhelm yourself by doing all things at once, unless you have a lot of people to help.
3. When cleaning a room, always begin from above (ceiling, lights, ceiling fans) going down (wall to floor). This is the most efficient way to go about a deep clean. When all dust, dirt and such are on the floor, that's when you should use the vacuum to make sure everything gets taken out. From there, mop the floor and use a dissinfectant.
4. Windows should be given attention too. On a normal maintenance home cleaning, windows are often left untouched. Possibly because it's almost always covered by your blinds or curtains. Rememember,all areas of your home gather dust, even if you do your regular cleanings.
5. Do not use bleach often but definitely use it on the bathroom. Bathroom tiles get dirty and discolored over time. Leave some bleach on for a good 5 minutes to be absorbed, then scrub away. Make sure to use a mask and gloves because using bleach is no joke. It's harsh on skin.

If you, like a lot of people, don't have any free time to take care of your house cleaning, then it's also good to ask the professionals to do it.
