Find Room To Get Your Home Looking Its Best.

Renovating your home can be an exciting, but also stressful time for all the family. Especially when you’re struggling for space in your home. A house full of furniture and belongings can make it more difficult to get the renovation completed on time.

Creating a fresh, clean home can be a long and difficult task. There is usually a process for making your house feel like a building site for some time. If your home is full of furniture, this can create unnecessary damage to your possessions. Moving furniture from room to room takes up valuable time for tradesmen when they could be just focusing on their actual job.

Moving furniture between rooms is time-consuming and hard work, especially when it’s a big heavy couch and your current rooms are too small. Perhaps you have an antique coffee table that you definitely don’t want to get scratched or damaged during the renovation or construction work.

Let’s remove the hassle from the situation. Self-storage is an effective, affordable and convenient solution. Store away your bulky items and keep them secure and safe while your home is being renovated. Safe, dry, and secure storage spaces to suit every requirement.

Decluttering Your Home During Renovations And Cleaning Tips Afterwards

Free up space at home for those improvements. Have peace of mind knowing your belongings are safe and secure in our self-storage units. 

Pack everything into boxes and concentrate on getting your new house ready without the clutter. This process will also help you remove unnecessary items from your possession and help reduce clutter in your home. 

It will be easier to find your belongings because they will be in one place and thus, it is also safer for them to be kept organised.

Once you have done this hard job of decluttering, it is time to start the cleaning process. Clutter typically causes an area to get full of dirt and is difficult to get clean again.

Here are some tips to help you. Use your vacuum cleaner to sweep and pick up large pieces of debris like dust, crumbs and dirt.

Use a sponge with warm water and soap on any hard surfaces that require a scrub. Scrub away any stains or marks that need to be removed. Do not use a chemical cleaner on any surfaces, this may cause damage.

Mix two cups of white vinegar and one cup of water into a bucket. Pour the mixture onto the stained areas of your floors and let it sit for around 15 minutes before scrubbing it with a brush or mop, followed by rinsing thoroughly with water.

Use a mild dishwashing soap on hard surfaces and wiping cloths to wash windows and mirrors.

Clean your refrigerator with a mixture of one cup of hydrogen peroxide, two cups of white vinegar and one gallon warm water. Let the solution sit for an hour before scrubbing it with a nylon or microfiber cloth.

Use baking soda on any surface that requires deodorising

These basic cleaning tips will help get your home ready and feeling fresh after your decluttering has been completed. It may also be important to wash any furniture or belongings that are being returned after being in storage.
