Freshening up Your Basement

In order to de-clutter your basement, arrange three bins. Label the bins with “keep, donate, and trash.” This way you can easily go through the items your children may have outgrown, get rid of old clothes, and donate furniture that is no longer being used. Take the “donate” and “trash” bins upstairs. Load your donate bin in the car so you can drop it off next time you head out.

Next you will need to organize your basement into areas. For instance, all the seasonal decor and clothing should be together, books and toys should be combined, and sporting goods in another area. Label all bins so you can easily find an item when you or a family member are looking for it. A shelving unit can be beneficial so you are able to stack bins. Ensure your child’s items are lower to the ground so they can reach them safely.

Once your items are organized accordingly you can clean! If you have carpet floors you can vacuum, if you have hardwood floors you can mop. Dust any shelves, window sills, and other furniture that may be in the basement. Once all of the above is completed you can enjoy a clean and organized basement!

Just a short note to say thank you for your good work at my favorite place in the world. It was much appreciated. Your staff were courteous and helpful at every turn. I have passed my remarks to the insurance company. Being out of my house for 3 months was very frustrating for me at the time and being 85 years old we seniors are not as flexible as we once were. Thanks to all involved.
