•Bedroom
The American Cleaning Institute finds that the bedroom is the most commonly prioritized room for spring cleaning, so it seems like a great place to start.
•Surfaces
Examine items on all flat surfaces – the tops of dressers and nightstands, for example – and make sure they all are something you use regularly.
•Closet
Take a close look at your clothes and shoes. A good rule of thumb is that if you haven’t worn it in a year, you probably won’t wear it again. The closet hanger experiment is a great way to examine how often you wear each item.
•Under the bed
You never know what’s accumulated under there – and it’s time to find out!
Electronics TVs, Stereos , cd players .

•Don't forget about large items:

•Garage/basement/shed
Everyone’s garage or basement or shed is different, and we’ve put them all together because what we are really referring to is the place in or around the house where extra stuff tends to pile up. This can be a closet, a finished basement, an outdoor shed or any place in between.
•Donation piles
These spaces can seem overwhelming, so start with the easiest of all: donation piles. You’ve spent all year collecting items you need to donate, and it’s finally time to load them up and take them to the various donation centers around town.
