A cluttered basement can cause a lot of frustration. It can be a big job to clear your space, sort through items or prepare for a move or sale. Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be difficult. With the right approach or the help of a professional, your basement will be tidy and clean in no time.

Basement cleanup, how do you tackle it?

Cleaning out a basement may seem simple, but it sometimes requires more work than you think. Often there are items stored for years that you have long forgotten about. Follow the steps below for an efficient approach to cleaning out your basement.

Start sorting

Get everything out of the basement and make a first selection. What can go away? What do you want to keep? Make three piles and divide them into: keep stuff, throw away and doubt. This makes it uncluttered. At the end of sorting, take a critical look again at the pile you have doubts about.

Waste and bulky waste disposal

Many items from a basement can’t just go with the residual waste. These include old furniture, paint cans or electrical appliances. Take this to the recycling center or have it picked up. Do you have a lot of large furniture like old couches, old tables, old refrigerators, etc.? Then you can also ask us to collect your waste. That way you don’t have to arrange special transportation and carry heavy items yourself.

Make sure the room is clean and dry

After cleaning up, make sure you clean and ventilate the basement properly. Basements are prone to moisture and mold growth. A thorough cleaning can prevent future problems.

Store stock in the basement

Many people store their supplies in the basement. Our advice for this is to use storage racks. This allows you to store a lot of stuff and keeps everything organized. You can buy these at various hardware stores or, for example, at IKEA.
