There’s nothing like a fast-approaching new year to feel like cleaning up. The week between Christmas and New Year is also the perfect time to do this. Think about it: most of us no longer have a job and are already busy at home recycling mailboxes, removing holiday decorations and getting ready for the big New Year’s Eve party you organize. As I post this week fixing everything, here are eight articles to delete before the new year begins:
Sad and tired pillows
According to experts Tempur-Pedic, cushions should be replaced after 1-2 years. If you’ve had the same thing in your bed for a while, it’s probably time to invest in a new one. If you do not want to throw yours away, check with your local pet shelter and see if they accept used pillows to put in the boxes.
Half-burned candles
Everyone has a closet full of candles that they liked for a while and then forgot about. It’s time to make room for all those new holiday candles you’ve purchased in the last two hives. If you want to increase the speed of the jars, you can carefully melt the wax in the microwave and pour it into a jar that is good to throw away.

Old winter clothes and accessories
There is a good chance you will come across a container full of clothes and accessories from past winters that have been intact for years. Now is the time to give it your all.
Random food in the pantry and refrigerator
Speaking of donating, if you have any canned or canned food that you didn’t end up using during the holidays, donate it to your local pantry. And of course, make sure the back of the fridge hasn’t expired.
Expired medicine
After checking the refrigerator, go to your medicine cabinet and check the dates on each box and bottle. There really is no reason to cling to medicine once it has expired.

Additional cups
We all know the reality of collecting random cups over the years. Some appeared in matching sets, but most are broken now, some were picked up on trips and others were grandma’s gifts that you just couldn’t part with. But in 2020, consider cleaning up a bit of room in cluttered closets by throwing your really it’s not necessary. Tip: If it is cracked or stained permanently, it may disappear.
Dirty towels
Did you know that you are supposed to wash your bath towels every two days? If not, they are covered in bacteria. Anyway, after so many uses and washes, your towels are probably worn out. Get rid of all those slim, slender towels (you can recycle them as rags in your garage) and invest in a new set – now there’s a lot of sales after Christmas that you can take advantage of.
Random takeaway menus
Last but not least, get rid of all those crumpled food menus that are stored in the trash can or placed next to the refrigerator. It’s almost 2020, have you tried ordering online ?!
