Spring Cleaning for Your Garage, Shed or Basement
What is it about spring that makes people want to get rid of the clutter and organize their lives? Perhaps it’s the renewed energy we feel when the days are longer and the sun is brighter. Or perhaps it’s simply that the world outside looks fresh and new, so we want the world inside to match.
No matter what your motivation, if you are looking around your basement, garage or shed thinking this mess needs to go then you may be in the market for a spring cleaning makeover! If so, consider one of the options below to give your garage, shed or basement a fresh start.
- Invest in Organization. With all the organization systems that are available today, from cabinets and custom shelving to ready-made organizers of all shapes and sizes, you can find a system that will work for you. And if you don’t want to do it yourself, there are professionals who are ready and able to make over your space for you. Imagine having them do the work of clearing out your garage and installing a brand-new organization system to fit your personal needs, all in 5 days or less!
- Clear Out the Junk. Somehow many of us end up with a space – a closet, garage, shed or basement – which has become the “junk room” in our home. That’s where we put all the unwanted, unneeded or simply unused items that we can’t bring ourselves to throw away, or which are too large or bulky to deal with. Luckily, there are many companies willing to come and haul that mess away for you – all at a very reasonable rate.
- Divide and Conquer. It may be that in just a few hours or a day, you can sort through the mess that has accumulated and divide it into three piles: Keep, Throw Away and Donate or Sell. Whether you decide to have a yard sale or simply make a donation to a local organization, many of the items that are currently causing clutter can be used by someone else – and then they won’t be a part of your mess anymore!
Of course, even if you’re a do-it-yourselfer and start with option three, you may find that you also need someone to come and haul away the junk that needs to go – or to install a new garage organization system so that next year, you don’t find yourself facing the same spring cleaning project again!
