Best Ways to Declutter Before Your Move
In this blog entry, the professional full service residential moving and long distance moving experts here at Noah’s Ark Moving and Storage will detail the best ways to declutter your property before you move.
Focus on One Room at a Time
The best possible way to declutter your home is to move one room to room at a time. This makes it much easier to evenly divide all of the work and make the general move much less stressful. We recommend starting with the kitchen, sorting through each cabinet, storage closet, drawer, and container. Make an organized pile of any items that you don’t want to keep.
Consider How Much You Utilize Certain Objects
When you’re making a decision over whether you should keep a certain round of belongings, consider how often that you use them. If it’s an object that you’ve forgotten you even own, you can definitely get rid of it. If it’s something that you’ve had a while, but you haven’t used it in over a year, don’t let it stop you from removing or donating it to make the moving process easier.
Selling and Donations
After you’ve reviewed your belongings and decided what objects you don’t want to keep and bring to your new property, you will have to decide between donation versus selling your objects. You could sell your belongings in a garage sale or online on a venu like Facebook marketplace. You could use any money you make to help assist you with the costs of your move. If you prefer, or don’t want to spend the time selling or listing your belongings, drop the relevant belongings off at a local homeless shelter, or a donation center like Goodwill.
