Spring is almost here and that means that spring cleaning is
in the air! Wouldn’t it be nice if there was an app that could clean out your
closet, your garage or even your basement for you? Although technology is much
more advanced these days, there isn’t an app that can literally fix your hot
mess, but there are several apps that can help the home organization process
along. Keep reading below to find out how you can make this spring cleaning,
your easiest one yet thanks to a little help from the world’s best apps.
Keeping your house clear of messes and clutter is not only
good for your mind, but it is also good for your body. How so? A simple,
innocent pile of junk could lead to an accidental, yet fatal fall; so keeping
your house clean is important for your health and safety! But, even with a
clean house, accidents can still happen. Enter the world’s greatest personal
protection technology, Life Alert. Under the safety of their medical alert
system, you can summon an emergency medical response fast with just one touch
of a button. No matter what life threatening emergency you may face, Life
Alert’s dispatch team can send you the proper authorities fast, 24/7. Apps may
get food to your door or help you organize your messy office, but no app will
offer you the safety or protection that Life Alert Protection can. Get your own
and clean up your personal protection today!
When it comes to cleaning up your home, there is no magic
wand to wave that can make it all go away. However, there are several amazing
apps that can help you! Whether it’s a reminder, a checklist or even
inspiration to help you achieve your spring cleaning goals, Real Simple[1]
has the apps for you! Read on to learn more about them.
Sortly App
For the hyper-organized, this is your dream app. Sortly lets
you create a visual inventory by taking photos of your items or scanning QR
codes. After you input your items, you can sort them into category folders by
location (like in the jewelry box or in the garage closet). You can also tag
certain items for easy search and include purchase and warranty dates for even
more detail. And if you’re moving in the near future, you can use this app to
keep track of inventory in boxes.
Decluttr
Make selling DVDs, CDs, video games, and more the work of
minutes - not a whole afternoon - with Decluttr’s barcode scanner, which makes
short work of figuring out how much you can sell your items for. All shipping
is free, so you can get those space hogs out ASAP, and any earnings can help
fund some space-friendly digital downloads.
Tody
Motivate yourself (and your family members) to clean more
often with this smart app. You can create cleaning tasks and to-do lists by
frequency and the app will tell you when a chore is due or overdue, and when
something was last cleaned. Family members can track the chores they’ve done
and gain bragging rights, and also see who’s been slacking. Even if cleaning
isn’t your favorite task, you’ll get a little sense of satisfaction by tapping
on the “Just did it” button after you’ve completed a task.
ChoreMonster
If getting your kids to do their chores is as bad as getting
them to eat their vegetables, this is the solution. ChoreMonster makes these
tasks more appealing by turning them into games. Parents can set chores and
offer different rewards (like an hour of free play or a trip to the ice cream
store) for completion. Kids can log into the app (with their parents’
supervision, of course) and track their tasks, earn points for completing
chores, and view potential rewards.
OfferUp
If you need to unload something that’s taking up way too
much room (think an old dresser, a bike, clothes, or even appliances), all you
need to do is snap a picture and upload it onto the app with details and
pricing. Your posting will be circulated to users living in your neighborhood.
You can negotiate prices and pick-up times through the in-app messaging
service, so there’s no need to give out your personal number. And since
everyone on the app has a profile with ratings from previous transactions,
you’ll know who’s reliable and who’s not.
Handy
Sometimes you might need to ask for extra help. This is
where Handy comes in. With this app you can schedule a date and time for a
cleaning professional to come and tidy up. Plus, track the progress of your
cleaning session—from when the cleaner is on the way to when he or she is just
finishing up. The payment feature is easy to use through your phone, and it’s
secure, too.
Yerdle
Use Yerdle to make swaps instead of spending your actual
money—plus, there’s an added sustainable element to this idea. Post a picture
of something you no longer want and ship it to someone who does—then you’ll get
“Yerdle Reuse Dollars” to buy something on the app. And if you’re wondering
what kind of products are in the marketplace, don’t worry: They’re gently used
items from popular brands like Patagonia and Maclaren.
Cleaning can be a trying task, but with a little extra app
help, achieving your spring cleaning goals can be right at your fingertips. So,
dig deep into your garage, your closet or your attic and clear out your
clutter! While you do so, protect yourself from any life threatening accident
by getting Life Alert Protection. No one thinks they are going to be a victim
of an accident, but the truth is, we are all at risk. So, protect yourself from
the unknown with Life Alert’s emergency pendant. Their highly-sophisticated,
yet easy to use pendant can be worn around your neck or wrist and it can summon
an emergency medical response fast with just one touch of a button. With over
25 years in the emergency medical alert industry, Life Alert knows the power
and the importance technology can play in our lives; their big technological
contribution to the world has been helping to save lives daily! There is no app
that can do what Life Alert Protection can do. Get yours today and feel certain
that they can help to clean up any mess you may find yourself stuck in. Call
1-800-513-2934 for a free Life Alert brochure.
