Huge decluttering mission

So, Sunday and Monday are going to be my 'spring clean' days.

The house is a tip and I need to thoroughly clean and declutter as once again we are at the stage of only moving stuff from one place to another as everywhere is so cluttered and disorganised. I need to:

Get rid of 95% of dcs cuddly toys (we have about 500) and only keep those with sentimental value.

Get rid of all clothes that no longer fit me, dh and dcs and fold/organise the rest.

Completely declutter the huge built in wardrobe in dds room which is so full when I open the door everything will fall out. Do the same with the wardrobe and cupboard in ds room.

Change all the bedding.

Hoover, dust, clean everywhere.

Deep clean the bathroom and toilet

Help dd1 declutter and reorganise under her cabin bed (she has millions of trinkets, notebooks, pens etc it is a complete mess).

Clean kitchen cupboards, throw away out of date tins etc, and reorganise.

Sort through paperwork mountain, file and shred.

Make a start on the washing mountain.

Any tips? Iam dreading it but it has to be done.

Hedgehog, sounds like you are doing brilliantly.
I wondered if any of these blog posts might be helpful for you? I thought the kitchen one might be a good start, as it seems you haven't started that quite yet, and there's some info on storage as well.
