TIME TO…
…dejunk your house
Had enough of all the clutter clogging up your cupboards, spare room, office and hallway? Well, roll up your sleeves and take a look at our quick guide to dejunk your house in a weekend.
PREPARE
Attack
Acknowledge you have been a secret squirrel. Don’t be ashamed, we all have an inner hoarder.
Tackle each room in order of priority, don’t do them all at once.
Make sure you have some cardboard boxes and bin bags at the ready, you don’t want to cause yourself more pain than necessary. That wouldn’t help anyone!
Organise your junk into piles to sell, giveaway, recycle or throw away. And, remember this golden rule… if you haven’t used it or worn it in a year, ditch it! You’re not going to!
Rope a friend in to helping you. Doing this on your own sucks but someone laughing at your gran’s gaudy china set can make all the difference, oh and get some beers in. You need to reward yourself for your hard work.
KEEP, TOSS OR DONATE Organise your storage with vacuum seal bags. Store seasonal clothes in a suitcase. You don’t need a balaclava for the beach now do you? Hold a car boot sale, it is amazing the junk people will buy. Start selling on eBay or via other websites like Amazon, Music Magpie, Cash In Your Gadgets. Donate what you don’t need to charity or give away items to Freecycle.
