Like it or not, here come the holidays! Just as the last piece of Halloween candy is gobbled up you can expect a full court press towards the end of the year Times Square ball drop. Will you be ready? If you’re expecting guests during this holiday season you’ll want to get out in front of cleaning up for their arrival. The first place to start is the entry way into your home. This is the “dumping ground” for boots, shoes, jackets, hats and backpacks. It’s also the first thing that your guests will see. What impression is all that clutter going to give them? There are many decorative shelves and hooks that can be adapted for this entry space. When you get those units up, assign everyone in the family their own space. That way you’ll know when the space is empty who is to blame!
Next, you’ll want to take a laundry basket through your home to pick up the loose clutter. This would be things like books, junk mail, magazines, toys and all the odds and ends of daily living. You can tuck that basket in a closet for the duration of your guests’ visit. You could even put it on the dining room table for the family to claim their stuff or watch it get tossed out. That basket approach to picking up clutter can certainly give the appearance that your house is neater but what about those big items that you’re not going to fit in that basket? Now, we’re getting into junk territory and that’s when you have to call in the pros from Junk King Capital District.
Before making that call to Junk King get clear about what you want tossed out. This doesn’t mean you have to pull anything to the porch or drag it down to the curb. Just know where the thing is living and tell Junk King when they show up. If it helps, make a room-by-room list that you can check of as each piece of junk goes flying out the door. You might know exactly what you want to toss out but there is no reason why you can’t get the rest of the family involved as well. Let everybody tag their own junk for removal. It’s amazing how much stuff you can get rid of when you know you’ve got a crew to do the work. You’ll also have a truck to fill up so anything goes.
As soon as you clear out the junk from your home, you can start decorating. Things will look a lot brighter without the clutter. Call Junk King Capital District today to set up your pre-holiday clear out.
