Clean out Your Closet with 3 Simple Spring Cleaning Steps

Clean out Your Closet with 3 Simple Spring Cleaning Steps


MT. PLEASANT, Mich.,––Give your closet the TLC it deserves this spring. There's no better feeling than having a clean, spacious, and organized wardrobe! People are creatures of habit, meaning we all tend to keep things in our possession longer than we probably should. If you have any sort of doubt about an item in your closet, chances are, it's time for it to go. Get rid of that old grey sweater and worn out pair of running shoes. It's time to clean out your closet with these 3 simple spring cleaning steps:


Step 1: Purge

Clean out Your Closet with 3 Simple Spring Cleaning Steps

We know it can be hard to let go of items that once made you dazzle. However, sometimes, you just have to let go. Go through your closet and ask yourself these 7 questions:
  • Does this fit?
  • Have I worn this in the last 12 months?
  • Is it likely I will ever wear this again?
  • Is this currently in style, and/or does this still accurately represent my style?
  • If this is damaged in any way, will I actually make the effort to get this repaired?
  • If I was shopping right now, would I buy this?
  • Do I feel confident when I wear this?
If you answer a solid "no" to any of these questions, it's time to say goodbye. Another great way to decipher what items to keep is creating three different piles. One for "keep", another for "maybe", and the last one for "get rid of". This way you can sort through all your clothes and accessories and be able to distinguish what you actually want. Don't forget the 1-year rule! If you haven't worn it in a year, it's probably time to toss it out.


Step 2: Sell, Donate, or Throw Away

Clean out Your Closet with 3 Simple Spring Cleaning Steps

Once you've decided what items you're getting rid of, it's time to figure out what you want to do with them. You have many options to choose from: sell, donate, or throw away. Selling your unwanted clothes can be a hassle and very time-consuming, but it can definitely be worth it for some extra cash to have on hand. If you have some expensive pieces that hold some real value, list them on a resale site like eBay! Now, if you have items that are really worn out or have holes or stains on them, just toss those in the trash. Whatever you have left, bundle it together in a large trash bag or box, and set it aside to be donated. Drop it off at your local Salvation Army, Goodwill, or other nonprofit institution that collects used clothes.


Step 3: Organize


Now that you've got the clothes, shoes, and accessories that you want to keep in your closet, it's time to do a little bit of reorganizing. There are three highly effective items to use for storage and organization: hangers, bins/totes, and hooks. Hangers keep the wrinkles out of your clothes and create a cleaner, less cluttered space. Bins/totes comes in all shapes and sizes. They are perfect for stacking on shelves and hiding items you don't typically use everyday. It's also a good idea to put seasonal clothes in boxes until you'll wear them again. Hooks are great for everyday jackets, belts, hats, scarves, purses, or even necklaces.

Once you've got all your handy storage supplies in order, you'll want to arrange your items in a helpful and easy way. Vacant floor space can be used for totes, bins, or even large bags. Put the clothes/shoes that you wear regularly within reach. Store seasonal bins/rarely used items up high or out of sight. Try organizing your clothing by different categories (i.e. dress pants, jeans, casual shirts, blouses, jackets, etc.). You can even sort items by color, too!


A lot of times we put spring cleaning aside because we either don't want to let go of certain items, or we don't want to take the time to do it. This spring, make the choice to clean out your closet with these 3 simple spring cleaning steps. Once you do, you'll feel accomplished, organized, and revived. It's a great feeling knowing that your space is clutter-free! Don't forget to clean out your car and perform routine maintenance for the spring season. Read our spring car care tips for information on tires, alignment and suspension, fluids, wiper blades, and spring cleaning. Make sure to schedule an appointment with our service team for any work and repairs your vehicle needs!

How to Get Through Pothole Season in Michigan

How to Get Through Pothole Season in Michigan


MT. PLEASANT, Mich.,––We can all agree that our roads are not in the best shape in Michigan. Even though they're not in ideal shape, we still need to use them to get where we need to be, and that can mean risking damage to your car. Because it's Spring, and the weather has been moving in between warm and cold, potholes seem to be almost everywhere. There are some things you can do and tips you can follow that'll help you survive without car damage. Here's how to get through pothole season in Michigan:


1. Slow Down 

This is a great tip from Chevrolet. One of the best things you can do is to avoid driving on potholes all together, but it's not always plausible with other traffic, pedestrians, etc. If you do have to hit a pothole, try to slow down as much as possible to deafen the blow.



2. Scan the Road

If you can safely do so, continue scanning the road ahead as you're driving to spot potential potholes. Many times rain or collected water on the road can cover a pothole, making it look like an innocent puddle. When you're scanning the road, look for puddles, cracks, and other rough patches where a pothole might pop up.



3. Make Sure Your Tires Are Ready

You want your tires to be ready for any sort of situation, including potholes. Following regular tire maintenance, like keeping your tires properly inflated, having your tires regularly rotated, and checking for damage, is great for fuel efficiency, even tire wear, and your safety. Overinflated AND under inflated tires can rupture more easily than a properly inflated tire during a pothole hit.


4. Be Prepared & Take Action

This is another great tip from Chevrolet to survive pothole season. Being prepared means, having the equipment for a tire change in your car and knowing what damage to look for if you do hit a pothole. Potholes can damage more than just your tires, so make a note to inspect your wheels, exhaust, and alignment, or have us a Graff Mt. Pleasant check for you. Additionally, if you notice large potholes, take action and report them to the city or road commission in your area so they can be filled sooner than later!



We know potholes are a major pain to deal with in Michigan, but hope these tips can help you master avoiding them. If you need more help getting through pothole season in Michigan, Graff Mt. Pleasant is here to assist. We have great deals on tires and auto service throughout the year, and a experienced team for your tire rotation, tire replacement, and alignment needs. You can conveniently schedule your appointment online at either of our locations, grab service coupons online, and check-in on Facebook for a discount on a front-end alignment or oil change.

Ways to Spruce Up Your Home for Spring

MT. PLEASANT, Mich.––Spring has finally sprung in Michigan! Even though the weather hasn't provided us with much sunshine and time to enjoy the outdoors yet, there are still ways to celebrate the arrival of the season. You can make your Mt. Pleasant abode feel sunny and warm with these easy ways to spruce up your home for Spring!

Ways to Spruce Up Your Home for Spring

1. Declutter 

Don't get stuck on the notion that "Spring cleaning" needs to be a complete overhaul of all your things. Your Spring cleaning efforts can be focused on easier tasks like decluttering that can help clear your mind and make your home look spruced up. You can start by decluttering one room, or by giving yourself a time limit. Our advice is: if you haven't used the item you pickup in over a year, it might be time to let it go. Keep boxes or bags at hand to help separate donations, throw aways, and items for storage.

2. Clean 

Start with the basics like dusting surfaces, cleaning the windows, and vacuuming. Then, move on to your more detailed tasks. Make a list of cleaning tasks for each area you want to focus on, and check them off as you go. We think it helps to do a few small tasks each day for a week or so to avoid the overwhelming and exhausting feeling that can often come with a large to-do list.


3. Rearrange Furniture & Decor

Change is scary, but sometimes it can be low risk and exciting at the same time! If you want to truly rejuvenate your space, try rearranging your furniture. You can reconfigure the existing furniture or decor pieces within one room, or mix it up by swapping items from different rooms such as side tables, TV stands, etc. This can help you eliminate or repurpose items that aren't being used. Take some time to do this task and really think it through before you start moving heavy pieces of furniture around willy-nilly.

4. Decorate Your Newly Cleaned & Rearranged Space

Once your space is decluttered and cleaned, it's time to move on to the fun part! When you break out your storage items, or go shopping for new decor items - think bright or pastel colored accent items. You could replace your dark rug with a bright floral rug, put a fresh (or fake) vase of flowers out on the coffee table, or throw bright covers on your couch pillows. We think it's better to invest in generic items, as opposed to holiday-related items so you can reuse or repurpose them easily.


5. Bring Some Fresh Greenery Inside


When the Michigan weather just isn't cooperating, you can still enjoy the fresh greenery inside. Head to your local garden center or other department store and pickup some live plants. Some plants like bamboo palms, snake plants, and peace lilies can help purify the air in your home. Other plants like jade and aloe vera are easy to take care of. Pick your plants based on their care requirements and what they offer for your home.


We want to help you celebrate the season with these ways to spruce up your home for Spring. Stay tuned to our blog for tips on cleaning your car this Spring, too. Don't forget to check out our Spring Car Care tips as well so you're safe on the road wherever you're headed this season. We can help with any routine maintenance or repairs you might need. Save time by scheduling online and save money by using our service coupons. Don't forget to check in on Facebook for additional savings on front-end alignment and oil change services at both of our dealership locations!
