Take Care of Your Apartment

If you love to clean and organize and are looking for some tips for your Glenwood apartment, be sure to catch Maria Kondo’s Netflix series, Tiding Up With Maria Kondo. Maria Kondo, who has been featured on tv shows like The Ellen Show, now has her very own Netflix show. She insists that the only items you keep in your home are ones that “spark joy inside of you!”

Maria Kondo also goes into depth about how to properly fold your clothes to make sure you can see all of your items. Rather than piling shirts on top of one another she folds them into little standing squares and lines them into a drawer.  If Maria Kondo’s tips are something you want to learn more about to make your apartment happy this spring, you can find out more about her Netflix show here.
