Save Your Back, Let Junk King Handle Your Old Furniture Removal in Atlanta


atlanta furniture removal

 

Furniture removals are something that all people need to consider as our favorite pieces age and sag from constant use. Instead of doing the removal yourself and running into all of the issues that can potentially arise from the activity—call Junk King in North Atlanta to do the removal for you, or to save you that trip to the general waste landfill.

Know When to Throw and When to Refurbish with Junk King North Atlanta

 

There seem to be two types of old furniture lying around the general person’s home. In the first case, there are those pieces of furniture that have been inherited through parents or the loss of family/friends. In the second case, there are those pieces that have been either bought old or bought and kept for decades. Regardless of which circumstance your furniture was collected in, there are a few tell-tale signs that will tell you if the pieces need to go or need to be refurbished. 

 

Refurbish!

Refurbishing takes a long time and can be difficult depending on the size of the furniture you want to update. Small parts of furniture can always be removed and replaced easily, but larger pieces like the top and sides of a dresser cannot be easily replaced. In situations like that, you’ll need to either get rid of it or refurbish it by doing it yourself or by paying someone to do it for you. Refurbishing is a great way to continue to keep the furniture you have without it looking old or overused. 

 

You can tell if something needs to be refurbished if you examine the material of the furniture closely (or maybe not so closely). Woods and fabrics are the easiest to detect because of the qualities which both materials develop as they age. In the case of wood, consider the state of the outside of it—since the outside is open to damage and the elements unless you have some bugs wiggling around the interior of the wood, the most damage will be visible to your naked eye or touch. This means looking for things like (1) if the wood feels sticky to the touch or seems to pull in more dust and air debris than other similar surfaces in the same room; or (2) if you can see cracks in the veneer, finish, or paint; or (3) if you can see the results of damage or heavy use from the past years like watermarks, dents, scratches, or discoloration. Of course, small things don’t matter outside of visual aesthetics, but once the furniture begins to have more than a few bumps and scrapes, it starts to run into the territory of a potential structural issue.

Meanwhile, we can also review the elements of fabric that show signs of needing to be replaced, thrown out, or refurbished. Fabric, because it’s made of such soft material, in comparison to woods and metals, can often be forgotten about when individuals go to think about refurbishment in their homes. There are three common types of damage that fabrics suffer on a regular basis—most times, an older piece of fabric will accumulate all three damages over its lifetime, especially if the home has kids running around in it. The first and most common type of damage results from (1) everyday use, for example, the consistent ups and downs that people do as they sit, can pull up the fibers from the fabric and rip them out slowly. This is why our grandmothers always told us to sit, not slide, on the couches. The next most common damage comes from (2) sunlight or UV rays. In the same way that your skin is damaged by too much sun, fabrics can be damaged by it too. This is what happens when fabrics become bleached and hard. Finally, the next most common damage is done by (3) spills, drops, or falls. In all three of these cases, kids are the most common culprit, and unfortunately, not all fabrics are created to withstand the abuse that kids can put them through. This can result in tears, stains, rips, and tattering. The good thing about fabric refurbishing though, is that pieces can usually be bought premade, which is great if you don’t remember those sewing lessons you had when you were ten.

Throw it Out!

Let’s say, on the other hand, that you’ve been given great-aunt Debby’s walnut hutch for your tenth wedding anniversary. You really have two choices; either refurbish it and endure your ‘new, favorite’ furniture piece or get rid of it. Now, there are ways to tell if particular pieces of furniture are worth refinishing and keeping—but for the most part, there’s no reason to keep multi-decades-old furniture. This is especially true when furniture stops being a convenience and starts to become potentially dangerous.

Consumer Reports is best known for its never-ending goal of fighting for a fair marketplace. Most times, a person will recognize their company name from their mailed-out mini-books, detailing the best products and prices for a range of items. However, they are also widely known for their research and testing of products, as well as their opinion polls of products in everyday households. In August of 2021, Consumer Reports published a short article that called attention to potentially fatal, unstable dressers:

 

Right now, dressers sold in the U.S. are not governed by a mandatory stability standard. Furniture manufacturers operate under a voluntary standard, and they are not required to conduct any safety testing before putting a dresser on the market. Some manufacturers meet the standard, and others fall short, contributing to thousands of emergency room visits each year.

 

What does this have to do with whether or not you should throw out that old dresser? Let’s consider what is being said in this article. It is 2021 and there are no standards that a dresser must adhere to—this means the older your dresser, the less likely it is that they meet the standards for stability. The article also says that “between 2000 and 2019, 351 people of all ages were killed following a furniture tip-over incident; children account for 286 of those fatalities.” Clearly then, it is a better choice to just throw out that hutch from great-aunt Debby—especially if you have kids in the home. The same goes for all pieces of furniture which are unstable, tilted, leaning, or have been overused for the last few years. Then, of course, there are also the fatalities caused by non-furniture tip-overs, like the tip-overs that can occur from TVs, which accounted for 571 deaths from 2000 to 2019 (if you ever looked for a reason to get a new, lighter TV, this is your reason.) 

 

Save Your Back, Call Junk King North Atlanta to Remove Junk for You

 

When it comes to furniture in your home, there are countless ways you can end up hurt—especially if you are attempting to remove old or delipidated furniture by yourself or with a novice. In 2019, there were a reported 39.4 million preventable injuries in homes and communities in the United States. A significant amount of these injuries are from accidents like poisoning or falls—but there is a portion of these that account for thrown-out backs, twisted spine disks, or sciatica flares from both stress and incorrect weight lifting.

Use Junk King For Old Recliner Removal

 

Old Recliner

This page was updated 3/13/22

 

Recliners, couches, and furniture are some of the most important things in our homes. They provide us with an aesthetic that is completely our own while giving our families the most comfort available. They are considered so important, that they can cost thousands of dollars when new, and after they start to decline they are oftentimes condemned to landfills or recycling centers.

The next time you suspect that your recliner is in decline, refer back to this page to check if the signs you’re experiencing are the signs of needing a new piece of furniture. Remember, when you choose to move with Junk King, junk removal is as simple as 1, 2, 3—just point and the junk is gone.

 

 

Signs of Decline for Your Old Recliner

 

Old recliners and furniture have various ways to tell that they are in decline—luckily, most of those ways are shared between all of the pieces, and only in special circumstances do they actually have specific signs of decline. The overarching signs to look for in a declining recliner or piece of furniture are: 

 

  • The recliner or furniture is rough or uncomfortable. This is important to keep tabs on because it can point you towards any issues that the chair might be having in its current environment. For example, if your recliner is suddenly fading or cracking in places, it could be from an overabundance of sun damage. 
  • The recliner or furniture does not function properly or requires extra effort. This is a tell-tale sign of decline in the life of a piece of furniture. Often times people will attempt to fix their recliners themselves, and while this works for a small amount of time, long term the damage has likely already been done. 
  • The recliner or furniture makes strange noises like cracks or moans. It’s normal for some protest to come from very old or overused furniture, but excessive sounds are a sign of wear and tear and an indication that you should start thinking about your next furniture choices. 
  • The recliner or furniture fails to support your spine and body. If you sit down in a recliner, it is meant to be a luxurious and relaxing experience—having any pain in your body afterward is likely due to the recliner having a lack of body support. This cannot be fixed and usually results in the removal of the object. 

 

Each one of these signs is very important to pay attention to because they notify you of the need for a new recliner. If you are experiencing one of these signs, consider thinking about your next piece of furniture—and consider calling Junk King North Atlanta to assist you in every step of the removal process.

Best Practices to Restore and Maintain Your Recliner and Furnishings

 

 

atlanta furniture removal

 

 

There are only so many ways that you can restore and maintain your furniture since there are only so many ways that your furniture can be made. If your recliner or furniture is starting to age, consider these tips to assist in extending its life, and if the damage is too great, you can always cut your losses and call Junk King to remove it instead:

 

  • Clean your recliner or furniture: this may seem like an obvious tip, but very few people actually spend the time to clean and condition their furniture. Making sure that you are cleaning and taking care of your furniture will ensure that the piece remains in its best condition for the longest amount of time.
  • Consider refinishing your furniture: not all furniture can be restored, but the kind that can, will as much as double the life span of your furnishings. Most of the time, refinishing your furniture will require a little elbow grease, but you can also hire professionals to do the refinishing for you. 
  • Keep furniture out of direct sunlight: one of the most powerful sources of existence in our planetary system is the sun—and your furniture sitting in its direct path is a ticket to damage. After only a week you may start to see bleaching, and after a month you could start to see cracks. Keep your furniture out of direct sunlight and you’ll greatly extend its life span.
  • Make sure to use the right products: there is a lot of cleaning solutions out there these days—and making sure that you are using the right tools and materials on your furniture will hugely affect the longterm life of your furniture. For example, if your recline has wood on it, are you making sure to wipe the wood in the same direction as the grain? Going against the grain could take years off of the life span of the wood. 
  • Keep feet and animals off the pillows: we all love our family members, but putting your shoed feet up on the furniture can encourage weakness in the fibers of your furniture—and the nails of animals are apt to snag those delicate threads too. Keep your feet (and the animals) off of your furniture to keep it in the best possible condition for the longest possible time. 
  • Smoke or vape outside, every time: although smoking has fallen out of favor in the last decade, vaping has taken its place as the habit of today’s millennials and generation Z. No matter what you smoke or vape, make sure to do it outside and away from your furniture. The fabrics of furniture are often very susceptible to absorbing smells and colors, so choosing to smoke inside will mean a yellow haze and a thick smell of smoke on the furniture itself. This can be fixed by hiring the right service, but it’s a far better choice to just do it outside. (It’s less rude as well.) 
  • Tighten the screws and joints every six months: not all furniture will have easy-access joints and screws, but the ones that do are easily tightened every six months. It is important to do this because it will allow you to keep the furniture in its best condition while also looking over it for damage or changes. Make sure to also keep the manual and any significant hardware close by too—the easiest way to do this is to put it all in a bag and tape it to the underside of your furniture. 

 

 

Recycling Old Recliners, Couches, and Furniture

 

Not all professional removal services are created equal. Some professional services are just that, removal services only. These types of services are great if you don’t mind dropping potentially recyclable items into landfills, while also not receiving the full possible services that can come from a removal crew. Such services are championed by Junk King because Junk King was founded on the premise that junk removal could be better for everyone and the environment

 

Part of this idolization of being a better service can be seen in how Junk King approaches the aftercare of junk removal. Many junk removal services will simply do their removal and deliver the junk and trash to the closest or most convenient landfill.

 

For Junk King, this is not the correct way to do a removal. Instead, Junk King completes their removal and delivers the junk and trash to the Junk King ‘recycling hub’—where the professionals at Junk King separate your junk into various ‘piles’.

 

Some of these piles are made to signal that the junk needs to be donated, while others indicate that there is too much soil and dirt to reuse or recycle and so furniture and junk in this pile need to be taken to the landfill. However, there is also another area where junk can go, and that is into the recycling pile. 

 

Recycling at Junk King operates by taking complex items like refrigerators or mattresses or even recliners, and breaking them down into their most simplistic parts, like springs, fabrics, or hardware. After this, all of the various materials are shipped away from Junk King and to the relevant recycling facilities.

This way of doing recycling takes a large amount of time, but the time cost is worth it in the end—since Junk King provides you with the easiest way to have your junk removed, while at the same time providing protection to the local environment and the animals in which we share it.
