Sort and Categorize: Begin by sorting items into categories like keep, donate, recycle, and discard. This makes the basement clean and more manageable.

Safety First: Wear appropriate gear like gloves and masks, especially if dealing with dust or mold.

Maximize Space: Use shelves and storage bins for items you want to keep, ensuring a more organized basement and attic.

Set a Timeline: Create a schedule for your cleanout project to stay on track and avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Don’t Hesitate to Ask for Help: Consider involving family or friends for more efficient cleanout, or hire a professional service for all the junk that needs to be removed.
