6 Closet
Switch summer/winter wardrobes and purge unwanted clothes. Instead of doing major closet reorganization, add quick fixes like shelf dividers, extra closet rod, shoe and sweater organizers, pretty baskets and quality hangers.
7 Drawers
Empty and damp-wipe. Consider lining with scented paper like Crabtree & Evelyn's Lavender Drawer Liners. Organize socks and underwear with drawer organizers.
8 Wood furniture
Dust, then damp-wipe with gentle cleaner like Murphy Oil Soap. Apply polish if desired; use soft cloth and rub in direction of wood grain.
9 Jewellery
Check out jewellery organizers. Neatrix system has different-shape trays that stack and fit in dresser drawers. For everyday pieces, 80-pocket hanging organizer from Renaissance works well -- everything is visible and stored separately to avoid tangles.
10 Floor
Steam-clean carpets if possible, or vacuum vigorously.
11 Tabletops
As you reintroduce tabletop objects, dust or damp-wipe thoroughly (don't forget lampshades). Try creating new vignettes for finishing touch to newly refreshed room.
