When you’re getting ready to move, it’s one of the finest times to declutter your home. You’ll be glad not just for the clarity and tranquilly that a de-cluttered home provides, but also for the money you’ll save by not having to spend to move undesired belongings from one home to the next.
Save time and money by packing, transporting, and unpacking the items you don’t want or need and disposing of them ahead of time a chore that our Clear The Lot crew will gladly assist you with.
Start early
Starting the packing process as soon as possible will allow you to adequately look through your belongings and ensure that you are only packing items that you are confident you will bring with you.
A benefit of keeping your house in order long ahead of your move, even before you find a buyer, is that it may aid in the sale of your home – a clear, clutter-free room will make your property appear larger and more appealing.
Set a plan
Make a plan for how you’ll approach your clearance rather than jumping right in and determining what to keep and what to get rid of as you go. Focus on one area at a time, going through it thoroughly (including cupboards and other storage) before moving on to the next.
Sorting your belongings into three piles might help you figure out what you want to keep, sell/donate, or discard. It’s a good idea to set up a single location to keep these piles while you declutter the rest of the house, so empty a room or your garage before you begin.
You should also consider how much time it will take to clear each place. Keep in mind that garages, basements, and attics are renowned for holding a plethora of neglected objects, so plan accordingly – perhaps a full weekend is required rather than a single morning or afternoon. Alternatively, Clear The Lot may assist with cleaning the most difficult to access attic or basement space swiftly and economically.
Have the tools for the job
Making sure you have all of the necessary packing goods and materials will make the process go more smoothly.
Having lots of bin liners, sturdy boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, newspapers, and labels or a sharpie pen on available will assist protect and segregate the goods you want to save.
Clear The Lot your rubbish
