Spring Cleaning for Small Spaces: What to Store, What to Keep, What to Toss
Spring in NYC means two things:
☀️ More sunlight
🧥 Way too many jackets in your closet
If your apartment is feeling tight right now, it’s probably not your fault—it’s your stuff.
So here’s your no-fluff, small-space-friendly guide to spring cleaning:
✅ WHAT TO STORE:
Puffy jackets + scarves
Holiday decor (yes, it’s still in the closet)
Winter boots
Ski/snow gear
Luggage + travel bags
→ These go in Uptotes.
🧡 WHAT TO KEEP:
Transitional jackets
A single hoodie or knit
All-season basics
Items you actually wore this winter
→ Hang it, fold it, or put it in reach.
🗑️ WHAT TO TOSS (OR DONATE):
Anything you forgot you owned
Clothes with dust on the shoulders
Broken umbrellas (seriously)
Stuff you’ve moved 3 times but never used
