We all want to live in a clean, clutter-free home. A place where there is plenty of room for the air to circulate, enough sunlight to illuminate the room, and the right space for our activities.
However, while these things may seem simple, it entails a lot of decluttering, cleaning, and giving up. Decluttering corners sometimes looks easy until you see a mountain of books that you haven’t touched in months. The most challenging part of decluttering is giving up items that you no longer use but that hold sentimental value.
To give you a hand, we have three easy tips and tricks that you can use to keep your home junk free.
RECYCLE OR UPCYCLE
There are items at home that are still in good condition but may not have the same purpose as before. For items like these, you can either recycle them or upcycle them. To recycle these items, you can call Junk King. Do not throw away things that can be recycled. We haul things away so you can get your space back and recycle them so you can feel good that your old things are being put to good use.
Upcycling means breathing new life to old items. If you are a fan of crafts, upcycling has the ability of becoming your new hobby.
Whether you choose to recycle or upcycle, both choices will give you a new space to explore.
SELL WHAT YOU DON’T USE
There is a reason why bargain hunters love the game. There are items that you no longer use that may still be in good condition and others may want. List your old items on places like Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace to sell.
Not only are you decluttering, but you are also making a little bit of cash for your old things. It’s A win-win scenario!
Clothes often take up the most space in our rooms, next to this are fixtures that no longer fit the house’s design and overall energy. So instead of throwing these things away, why not sell them?
THE FOUR BOX METHOD
For people who find it challenging to sort their things, this method might be right for you. The four-box method has you put down four separate buckets or boxes where you can put items depending on their classification.
The four boxes are to be labeled Keep, Donate, Sell, and Store. The best part about this method is you get to decide where what goes, and it also gives you a good feeling that you can still keep some of your stuff and have a clutter-free home.
After you’re done with your decluttering, you will for sure have a lot of junk that will need to be hauled away. You can rely on Junk King for that part! Send us an email or give us a call. Our staff will be delighted to get your junk off your hands!
