Spring is just around the corner and will be here before you know it. You may be asking should you plan a spring whole-house cleanout? If it’s been a few years, even decades, since you cleaned out your house, the answer is yes. Things gather in our Houses over time and take away much of our living space. This clutter leads to a host of reasons why a whole House cleanout is beneficial to your family. Here are some examples of why you should do a spring whole-house cleanout.
It Frees Up Additional Space
Clutter and junk can pile up fast, giving insufficient room to move and turning the rooms in your House into ugly messes. When you start your spring whole-House cleanout, you should first remove broken furniture, damaged exercise equipment, and any damaged or unwanted items that take up space in your house. When you are done with your whole House spring cleanout, you will find your house has more space inside it than you realize.
Take Away a Rodents Living Space in Your House
Clutter in your attic and your basement is that it provides excellent living space for rodents. Clutter and junk can hide areas where holes may exist. Rats, raccoons, mice, or other rodents love holes leading into your house, and they will inevitably widen them and reside in your house. Things such as cardboard boxes with old clothing, sheets, or towels make ideal nests for these unwanted visitors. Eliminating junk and trash from your attic and basement will enable you to find these holes. You can seal them up by yourself or use a handyman to plug the gaps.
Getting Rid of Junk and Clutter Gives You Peace of Mind
A distinct connection between clutter and depression exists; the stress of dealing with clutter brings on the depression. Having large amounts of clutter in your House can be overpowering. You may feel an intense sense of never being able to dig your way out of it. Even if a little clutter is removed, your attitude can change. It is not unusual to become depressed by clutter, especially in the long winter months. So if clutter is adding to your winter gloom, keep reminding yourself spring is on the way, and you will declutter your house.
Cleaning Out Your House Makes It Healthier
In the course of cleaning out your house, you will notice that mold, mildew, and dust have been gathering behind boxes, bookshelves, worn-out appliances, and other unneeded items. Mold and mildew are often toxic and can bring great misery to allergy and asthma sufferers. Dust mites are nearly as bad as mold when it comes to allergy and asthma sufferers. Any boxes of damp clothes or towels in your basement are likely an utter mold farm. The untouched library in your house probably has a layer of dust that rivals Arizona on the shelves. Dust mites flourish in such an environment. Clearing clutter and junk from your House’s rooms will let you get around better and clean them.
Although it’s winter now, spring is right around the corner, and you can start your spring whole house cleanout.
