Begin decluttering at least two weeks before Diwali. This gives you enough time to sort, clean, and organize without stress.
Tackle one room at a time. Focus on high-traffic areas like the living room and kitchen first, then move to bedrooms and storage spaces.
Separate items into keep, donate, and discard piles. Let go of unused or damaged items to free up space.
Use baskets, boxes, and organizers to store seasonal items neatly. Labelling helps locate items easily later.
Dust, mop, and wipe surfaces thoroughly. Pay attention to corners, shelves, windows, and behind furniture.
Clear out expired pantry items, clean appliances, and reorganize utensils for a fresh start.
Once organized, do small daily cleaning tasks to prevent clutter from building up again.
