How many broken New Year’s Promises are floating out there right now? Broken, forgotten, failed. How many pertaining to the generic but absolutely essential act of “house cleaning? How many poor souls tried to achieve basic organization, even a rudimentary cleaning and dusting routine, and came up with zero? So many, I’m afraid. So very many. It’s heartbreaking, sad, and ultimately needless. I can show you, in 3 simple steps, how to not only keep your home clean, but possibly bring much needed discipline and order to your life on a whole.

1. Finish the Job, No Matter What. Cleaning the home, especially the closet, takes a commitment to excellence, and the will to succeed. It isn’t going to be easy, but through mental toughness, raw determination, and brute force, you can tackle any mound of dirty laundry; any mountain of 12 year old bills; clutter. You must lock in. You must not give up. You must continue until every last unclean corner is dealt with. This is war.

2. Never Be Weak. Your mind is going to play all kinds of tricks on you. Don’t listen to it. It’s going to make you think you’re tired; that there are more pressing matters somewhere on the internet; that a new episode of Bones starts in five. Nonsense. Your house is filthy, and it must be cleaned. There is only you. All that matters is you and the mess. The mess you made. Are you weak? Don’t be. The mess isn’t weak, I assure you.

3. Have fun with cleaning! People always forget to let a little sunshine into their lives… SMILE! While you mop the floor, you can sing a song; while you organize boxes, you can dance (carefully, depending on box weight). Have fun! Always remember that cleaning is a great way to burn extra calories and have a great time moving around the house. And the best part? When you finish, there will always be the promise of more cleaning to come!

A great way to implement your new skills and respect for a clean home is to make a wise investment in a superior closet shelving system (you could go after Kitchen Shelves, or Laundry Shelves, even Garage Shelves, but I’d say right out of the gate, the Closet is most important.) One such system is available as we speak from Stacks and Stacks. This Wooden Closet System has everything you need to not only organize, but stack the odds in your favor for a clean, mess-free future. Look at the luxury! 100% wood, available in maple and mahogany finish! It’s a closet organization system that’s elegant and refined — and believe me, after you get your home in shape, you’re really going to appreciate this type of grace and charm. The shelves measure 12″ deep; excellent for storing and organizing. What else? Get ready: Three 12″ x 24″ shelves, Three 12″ x 72″ shelves, Five Wardrobe Bars, 9 Bar Spacers, 4 Angle Brackets, and All Hardware Included. You really can’t go wrong. And you shouldn’t. Time is of the essence…
