Spring cleaning leaves your home clear and fresh for the summer, but you still have to figure out what to do with all your unwanted clutter. Whether you're itching to redecorate or just yearning for more space, a garage or yard sale is the perfect way to pass on unwanted items.

Make the most of your sale by stocking up on key supplies. Get a few fold-out tables for displaying smaller items, and have a cash drawer stocked with plenty of change to avoid turning customers away.  Stock up on pre-priced or blank labels for pricing individual items. Don't forget to buy some garage sale signs to guide shoppers to your house.

To take full advantage of the spring rush, set out items that are most likely to draw the season's shoppers, including home decor and furniture. Clean and dust off each piece, and set attractive prices to maximize your number of sales. While you plan, shop Office Depot for products hand-chosen to help you throw the ultimate spring sale.

Say It in Color

Stock up on pens and markers before you start spring cleaning. Use permanent ink to date and label stored items, and consider implementing a color-coded system for more organization. Colored permanent markers are also necessities if you're making your own signs for the garage sale.
