Basement Bonanza
Next, take on the basement—yes, the basement, or the garage, or anywhere you store most of your larger "junk" or seasonal items. Since it's practically a breeding ground for clutter, we've saved this room for last.
First, take stock of what you have and repeat this : "When in doubt, throw it out." If you haven't used it in the last year, to the garage sale it goes. If you store seasonal decorations here, make sure to separate into sections and designate them to the appropriate season.
Put darker, heavier accessories into fall and winter sections, and combine lighter, more airy accessories for spring and summer. When separating them, take a close look: When was the last time you set out that bouquet of dried flowers? Do you really need to hold on to a half-burned candle? Pitch or save whatever items you can for your sale

To clean screens, lay them flat on a hard surface (put a cloth underneath to avoid scratching the frames) and spray them down with a garden hose. If you clean the screens in your yard, make sure to remove any rocks or debris from underneath the screens, as these can stretch or bend them (and we still recommend placing a drop cloth underneath).
