Trust us when we say: When it comes to mess, we’ve seen it all, and we’re not here to judge! It’s easy when you have a lot going on for things to build up, making it seem as though it would be next to impossible to ever see more than a small glimpse of your floor again. Having an extremely messy or cluttered home can be an overwhelming feeling. ABH Services offers a variety of services ranging from dumpster rental to cleanouts so that we can help you through this process. Regardless of how much of our help you decide that you want during this process, there are several steps you can take in order to help things go as smoothly as possible.
How to get started
There are many different strategies you can go with when cleaning out an area so that you won’t feel overwhelmed. One strategy that is helpful for many people is to start in one very small and specific spot, and to get just that spot as clean as possible. For example, start with just your kitchen sink: Throw away any old or rotting food that has been sitting around; wash and put away dishes; scrub the sink and the area around it so that everything is as clean as possible. Even consider spraying something around the area so that it smells nice. After your kitchen sink is clean, you can move outwards to the kitchen counter and focus on getting that area clean, as well. This is a time-consuming process, but it will help you to see your progress and make quick decisions about what you are going to clean next, instead of just wandering around aimlessly, picking things up and putting them back down.
Sort Things into Piles
When going through clutter, it is always a good idea to sort things that don’t have a specific “home” in your house into separate piles. For example, you may choose to create one pile of things you want us to pick up and dispose of for you, one pile of things you want to sell or donate, and another pile for things you want to keep and just need to find a spot for later. This will help the cleaning out process to go as quickly as possible!
Treat Yourself
For many people, cleaning out a home or large area can be an extremely stressful experience, regardless of the reason behind it. Consider topping off a long day of hard work with a nice meal or other relaxing experience. Once we know what you want taken care of, we can handle the rest.
