If your basement has become a catch-all place then you should most certainly continue reading because we will present to you a tutorial which will allow you to properly organise the area.
Step 1: Commence the task by setting up three boxes, one for the items that you will keep, one for the objects that you will donate and one for all the junk that you don’t need and therefore will throw away.
Step 2: This is undoubtedly the most laborious and time consuming stage of the project but it is also the most essential. Go through everything that you keep in your basement and sort it in accordance with the aforementioned boxes. Don’t take hesitate to throw something away just because you may need it someday! The worst thing that can happen is that you will have to buy it again if that day comes.
Step 3: Now take the box with the items that you are planning to keep and decide how you will arrange them in your basement. If you have sorted your belongings properly, you should have plenty of space on the shelves and closets.
Step 4: Before you start storing your possessions into your basement, grab a slightly soaked mircofibre cloth and wipe the shelves and closet surfaces. Also vacuum and mop the floors. After all you are giving a new appearance to your basement. Also assess whether you will need supplementary shelves in the room and if so, mount them before you resume with your basement organisation project.
Step 5: You can also hang hooks and keep your pots, gardening and other tools on them. This way you will use the wall space and save valuable storage space on your shelves and surfaces.
Step 6: Now that you have properly prepared the room, start arranging your items. You can opt to keep your similar objects into plastic storage containers which you have labeled accordingly. This way you will be able to find more easily the things that you need and you will eliminated the possibility of creating a clutter because you are looking for something that you cannot remember where exactly you have placed it.
Step 7: Grab the box with all the items that you have decided to donate and take it to one or several charity organisations of your choosing.
Step 8: Contact a professional rubbish removal company and have it come and clear the items that you have decided to throw away along with the other junk that is laying on your property. You will need the assistance of professional waste clearance experts because for one you will be too tired to collect the garbage on your own and two because some types of waste can be cleared only by a licensed rubbish removal company.
Step 9: Take a step back and enjoy your clean and properly arranged basement.
As you can see, having an organised basement isn’t that hard, so now pull up your sleeves and start working on the task.
