Spring Cleaning Tips for Decluttering Your Entertainment Center

Spring is a great time to do a thorough cleaning of the entire home, including the living room. Your home entertainment center is probably looking a bit cluttered after the winter, and things could stand to be spruced up. Before you start cleaning, make sure to unplug power strips from electrical outlets just to be safe.

Spring-Cleaning

  1. Remove all clutter from around devices. Pick up and put away CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs, as well as remote controls and other items. TIP: You can secure remotes to the wall next to or on the side of entertainment centers with remote control wall mount clips.
  2. Use a top-down cleaning approach. Start on the top shelf and work your way down as you dust.
  3. Move entertainment centers for easier cleaning. If you want to clean behind and under the entertainment center, carefully move it out of the way.
  4. Dust off electronic devices using an approved cleaning cloth and cleaning products.
  5. Declutter cords by using cord ties. Bunch cords for similar devices together using different colored cord ties.
  6. Give remotes a good wipe down with antibacterial wipes.
  7. Replace batteries in all of your remote controls, and remember to recycle the old ones.
