House Clearance can be daunting, but every house must undergo full or partial house clearance. Whether it’s a relative packing out or the whole house moving, house clearance must be done one way or the other. This article aims to be your ultimate guide to clearing your homes and apartments. According to Wikipedia, house clearance is “the process of removing all of the household items from a property.”
Plan what You will keep and what you’ll clear.
House Clearance doesn’t start on the day of the clearance. Therefore make plans to ensure that everything goes smoothly with little to no issues. Whether it’s a full house clearance or a room clearance, make a list of all the items in the room.
That will help you keep track of how the stuff you’ll remove. On that list, check or underline items you want to keep or donate to family members. The rest on the list should be items you don’t want. Keep that list and use that to sort out the items in the room. That should make house clearance much easier to carry out.
Choose the day for House Clearance
House clearance should be done on a free day and with a free mind. You don’t want to be occupied with something else when you’re clearing a room or full house. Once you’re distracted, it’s easy to misplace items or lose items you want to keep. If it’s a full house clearance, it may take a full day or more to fully clear, so be flexible in choosing the day. If you aren’t done on the first day, you can continue on the next.
Carrying out House Clearance Yourself
If you plan to do it yourself, make sure you hire a van and get a permit. You can also borrow from a neighbour or friend. You’ll need to send the items to a Household Waste Recycling Centre. There are different Council sites with regulations so check to comply with all their rules. These council sites also have stipulations on what waste items they accept. So make sure to check the acceptable items and clear them accordingly.
Always start house clearance by removing the huge items. Stuff like sofa, tables, fridges, mattresses, etc., can be cleared first. Doing this will get rid of heavy household items while at full strength.
After packing the big stuff, group the smaller items into boxes for easy transportation. This also ensures that those items don’t get lost in the van. Toys, electric appliances, books, bottles, curtains, bed sheets, kitchen utensils, etc., can be packed into boxes.
Keep in mind the items you want to donate or keep to yourself. You can set those aside in another room, so they don’t get mixed up with unwanted items. Mistakes are bound to happen, especially for full house clearance. Hence, don’t be heartbroken when items you plan to keep or donate end up in the unwanted pile.
