Tips For Decluttering Your Garage

Tips-for-decluttering-your-garage

Clutter can be found in any part of your house—closets, guest bedrooms, basements, yards, and home offices, to name a few.

But the garage, perhaps, is the most cluttered area in almost anyone’s home worldwide. It’s easy to dump things in the garage because it has a lot of space, and it keeps clutter out of sight.

In fact, here in the US, a study by the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) revealed that 50 percent of homeowners said their garage is the most disorganized part of their house.

Meanwhile, a survey by the US Department of Energy showed that more than half of the homeowners with two-car garages polled are not able to fully utilize that part of the house for car parking.

Because of clutter, one-fourth of these homeowners said can’t park a car inside while around a third said they only have room for one vehicle.

Let’s face it. We store things we think we’re still going to use in the future or dump our unwanted stuff in the garage. Postponing your garage clean-up leads to clutter accumulating over time, which makes it an overwhelming chore that you eventually forget altogether.

Decluttering maybe a daunting task, but it has to be done to be able to make space so you can use your garage the way it was meant to be used.

Here are some tips for decluttering and making space for your garage.

Prepare for the process

Make sure that you have prepared yourself mentally and physically before you start organizing your garage. It’s best that you dedicate a full weekend to declutter your garage so as not to get your cleaning and organizing process interrupted. You need to also have the right tools and supplies, such as heavy-duty trash bags, vacuum, and organizers for all the clutter.

Sort your clutter

Get all of the stuff out of your garage and put them all in your driveway. Go through all the clutter and divide the items into four separate categories: keep, donate, sell, or trash. Let go of the items you haven’t used in a year and try not to keep things you think you will still be

using someday. Instead, sell or donate these things, especially if they are still useable and in good condition.

Organize your garage

Now that clutter is out of your garage, prioritize the space that will be taken up by your car/s and use the remaining areas for the items you have decided to keep. You can group them by creating zones such as frequently used items (shopping bags, pet leashes, garden and cleaning supplies); seasonal items (holiday decorations, snow tires, beach chairs), tools (shovels, rakes, small devices), and car supplies. You can use shelving to take advantage of the vertical space of your garage and cabinets to stow away dangerous items like tools and chemicals.

Maintain tidiness

Now that you have a system for your stuff, you now have a clean and organized garage. Now, it is easier to clean. Just make sure to stick to it by making it a habit to purge clutter at least once a year.

What to do with the rest of the clutter?

After all the hard work, there’s no way they will be returning to your garage. You can hold a yard sale for items that still working and are still useable. For the rest, let Junk King take care of your junk! Call us to get a quote on our junk removal service in Rocklin. Once confirmed, we’ll be there in 15 to 30 minutes to rid your garage from clutter for good.

Tips for decluttering your workspace

Whether you work in an office or at home, a cluttered workspace is a nightmare. It negatively affects your overall performance and productivity.

With clutter everywhere, you lose focus, get easily distracted, and you are unable to process information. The clutter competes for your attention, disrupts your workflow and gives you visual stress—all of which makes it hard for you to accomplish tasks at hand.

Meanwhile, a clean and organized workspace is nice to look at and can have positive effects and benefits to you and the way you work.

It boosts your management, productivity and confidence level towards work. It also reflects your work ethics and professionalism.

To be able to free yourself from distractions and work better, maybe it’s time to clean, declutter and organize your workspace.

Learning and keeping your desk organized can lead to great work results and make you feel good about yourself and your job.

Here, we’ve listed some tips to maintain a clean and organized desk.

Identify the things you are commonly using.

Make a list of the all the things you commonly use. In knowing the commonly used items, set a timeframe like one or two weeks. At the end of the timeline, you have probably identified the things you need regularly and those that need to go in the drawers or in the trash.

Clear out your desk.

If you have the time, purge your workspace. It is easier to organize your desk if nothing’s on it. Remove everything from your desk, drawers, filing system, and cabinets and work your way from there. Decide what should be kept and what should be thrown out.

Keep “cleaning your desk” on your to-do list.

Make a regular reminder to clean out your desk. Setting a schedule for this means you are prepared for it and it will not interfere with your workflow.

Clean your space.

You may have cleared your desk of the clutter, but something is still amiss. By cleaning, we mean wiping down all surfaces, brushing off the dust on your keyboard, washing your seat cushion, etc.

Sort your items.

Once you’ve cleared out your desk, it’s time to organize your items according to what stays and what goes. Make sure you keep only those that help in your daily tasks and those that have a purpose. For those that need to be thrown out, maybe you can donate them instead of ending up in junkyards.

Make labels.

It’s easier to find things when they are appropriately labeled. With labels, you won’t need to waste time looking for the item you need.

Return the items after using them.

Remember to put the things back where you found them. This way, you know where to find them when you need them. This helps keep you organized and clutter-free.

Throw away the unnecessary items.

After cleaning out your workspace, you end up with junk that needs to go. Once you’ve sifted through which items can be donated and thrown away, put them in boxes according to recyclables and non-recyclables. This way, it would be easier for you to dispose of them.

If you’re in Sacramento and need help in disposing of your junk, we at Junk King can help you. We’ll help you keep your workspace clean and clutter-free so you can do more with your time. Check out this list of items we take.

Reap Benefits When You Clean Out Junk

Clean Out JunkWhether you’re close to retirement, getting ready to move, or just want a fresh, clutter-free start, there are a ton of benefits to cleaning the junk out of your house, condo, apartment, garage, attic or basement.

Summer Decluttering in Sacramento

Summer is the season of the summer camp here in Sacramento. If your kids are looking for something fun to do this summer they’ll have a lot to pick from. Lodi’s World of Wonders Science Museum is offering up four weeklong day camps with a focus on all things science. “It introduces science in a really fun way,” says Liz Brown, the museum’s educational programs coordinator. “They are really learning through doing.” Included in the camp are programs like Explainable Magic, Tasty Science, Calling all Chemists and Your Body and You. Best of all this gives the kids something to do and you plenty of free time.

Of course, you could also spend some of that time decluttering your home. Sounds like fun, huh? Actually, this can be a very easy project to take on especially when you hire a company like Junk King Sacramento.

While the kids are off at camp, a Junk King crew can show up for a removal appointment and haul away all that stuff that has been wasting space in your home or yard. This is a golden opportunity to toss out old sofas, loveseats, boxes of papers, appliances and mattresses. You know, all that stuff you’ve hanging onto for no good reason. With Junk King on the assignment all that clutter can be whisked away in the blink of an eye. They will be doing all the backbreaking lifting. At least, it might be “backbreaking” for you. For the Junk King crew it’s just another day at the office.

If you want to spend some time whipping your garden into shape, Junk King Sac can help you there as well. This might mean getting rid of busted up planters or patio furniture. The Junk King crew will also haul off dirt, sod and anything else that doesn’t belong in your yard.

All of your junk is going to be loaded into the Junk King truck which is another thing you won’t have to worry about. The Junk King crew does all the loading and dumping. Even if it only takes them ten minutes to load up your junk and another hour to drop it off at a recycling center, you’re not going to be paying for any labor costs. Your fee is based on the amount of space your junk takes up on that truck and nothing else.

After Junk King Sacramento is finished, your kids might just become inspired to keep things clean. It’s worth a shot, right? Call Junk King today and find out how that can have you de-cluttered in no time.

Sacramento Christmas Tree and Holiday Junk Removal

Here in the U.S., the day after Christmas is a lot like the day after Thanksgiving only in reverse. Instead of shoppers looking for bargains, a lot of folks are returning presents. That doesn’t mean there won’t be any sales to be had. In fact, retailers might just save the best prices for the end of the year. In England, the day after Christmas is known as Boxing Day. Tradition holds that this is the day when the Lords of the manor would give their servants presents or a Christmas box. It has evolved into a national holiday in Great Britain which makes for a bonus day after Christmas for all government workers.

There is something else you have to think about on Boxing Day and that would be the big clean up from Christmas morning. Depending on the size of the family and how generous Santa was, there could be heaping mounds of boxes, gift-wrap and other items destined for the trash heap. You might need to make room for the new big screen HDTV or microwave oven. There could also be all manner of vacuum cleaners, computers, games and sporting equipment that have been replaced. You don’t need to hold onto all the junk. Why not be proactive about cleaning up and schedule an appointment with Junk King Sacramento?

Then there is the issue of the Christmas tree. At some point, that tree is coming down and it’s going to be dragged out of the house leaving a trail of pine needles in its wake. Hopefully, you’ll make it out to the curb in time for a garbage pickup. If not, you’re going to be stuck with the tree. There’s a better way for the tree removal and the big box toss out; that would be hiring Junk King for the job.

Junk King Sacramento has the crew and the junk to handle any type of junk removal assignment no matter how big or small. You don’t have to take your tree down right away but when it’s ready to be carted off, Junk King will work around your schedule. On the same removal appointment, they can load up all the rest of your holiday trash. This is the most effective approach to junk removal and the most cost efficient. That’s because Junk King will only charge you by the volume of space your junk takes up on their truck. There won’t be any additional labor costs or dumping fees. You’ll enjoy your post holiday celebrations a lot more with Junk King on stand-by!

Sacramento Thanksgiving Clutter Cleanup Project

That next knock you hear at your front door could be some guests coming over to spend the holidays with you. Hopefully, you’ve invited them and they’re not just popping in for a weekend unannounced. In either case you should have your home ready for the holidays even if it’s just for the family and friends who might stop over for a little visit. In order for you not to be overwhelmed, you should plan ahead. This doesn’t mean you’ve got to sanitize your home from top to bottom but a good room-to-room cleaning might be in order.

The first thing your guests will see will be your entryway. How cluttered is this area in your home? It’s rainy season in Sacramento which means you’ll want to make room for umbrellas, shoes and coats. Since this is the holidays, you can also spruce up that entryway with a fresh evergreen wreath for the door and other holiday themed decorations. To clear out this clutter, you’ll need to get your family engaged in the efforts as well. A little Christmas cookie bribing goes a long way towards enlisting this kind of help.

For your clean-up plan you really only need to see your home through your guests’ eyes. What would they notice? An overflowing laundry basket? Stacks of magazines and newspapers destined for the recycling bin? Blankets and pillows on the sofa? All of that is general clutter that can easily be picked up and tossed out but what about the bigger items like a ratty couch you’ve been meaning to get rid of or some other pieces of furniture that have seen better days? If you’re planning to have overnight guests you might need to make room for them in your guest room or den. That means tossing out even more junk like unused exercise equipment or boxes of useless stuff. You can get easily get rid of all of those kinds of items with a call to the Junk King Sacramento.

Junk King is the Sacramento business that helps folks clear out the clutter all through the year but especially during the holidays when we got into visitor overdrive. Working with Junk King Sacramento means you’ll actually be working with a two-man crew who will do all the heavy lifting. You don’t have to drag anything out of your home or closet; the Junk King team will handle that. The final destination for your junk will be on the back of their truck. Once it is there you don’t have to worry about it again. It will be properly disposed of.

After cleaning out your home, you can focus on decorating to your heart’s content. Make it as warm and cozy as you want. The holidays are for special memories and those can start in a junk free home thanks to Junk King.

Declutter Your Sacramento Home

Over at a East Sacramento Catholic high school a group of students have gotten together to show what a little ingenuity and the power of the sun can do for their school. It was a group of students from the St. Francis high school that became involved in the school’s effort to save money on rising energy bills by adopting solar power as an alternative source for the campus. Thanks to their effort they were able to install a 253 kW solar energy supply system across seven buildings on the campus. This is going to reduce the energy bills and have a positive impact on the local environment. It’s also perfect example of how our kids often lead the way.

Perhaps this story might inspire you to make your own energy upgrades around your home. Thanks to some proactive rebate and tax credit programs offered by the state it’s easy to utilize clean energy technology even in a single-family home. There are very affordable DIY packages which allow you to convert your water heater to her solar powered water heater or install solar panels on your roof and backyard to collect energy into fuel cells. If you were to take on a project like this you might end up being an inspiration for your neighborhood just as those St. Francis high school kids have become. Of course, to make way for these kinds of upgrades you might first have to de-clutter your own home.

If there is one common “battle” that goes on in every household with a kid or two it’s the struggle to have their rooms clean. This is just something that many kids can’t seem to embrace. Perhaps the problem is not so much within their own room but within the rest of the house. If you’ve got clutter everywhere then how can you expect a kid to be inspired to clean up their own room? If you’re ready to lead by example then perhaps you need to call upon Junk King Sacramento.

Junk King is a Sacramento neighborhood business that is dedicated to helping people get rid of all the junk in their lives. What we choose to hang onto varies from person to person but it’s usually bulky items that we can’t simply throw out in the weekly garbage.

When you schedule an appointment with Junk King you can depend that they will show up on the agreed-upon time. This could be the deadline for you to gather up all your junk for removal.
