subject: Is You Home Filled With A Clutter Of Mess? [print this page] When you have all this extra stuff in your home cluttering it up, it is hard to ever feel like the place is actually clean. There is a difference between clean and messy. Your home needs to be clean for obvious reasons. Most people's homes are messy to one degree or another. Some people clean up the mess once a week; some people hire it out to a maid service. But what do you do if you just have too much stuff?
If you find yourself talking about renting a storage unit, then this is a sure sign that you simply have to much excess in your home. Instead of renting a storage unit, you should begin to go through all your stuff and see what you can eliminate. If you come across items that you do not use, and have not been used within the year, than you should really consider getting rid of these items.
Holding onto things and collecting things are two different concepts. You can collect a certain item, or you hold onto an item that contains a certain memory. However, when you are holding onto an item that hold a memory, you should realize that you do not need the item, in order to have a clear memory of the specific moment. Instead you can take a picture of the item, and then donate or get rid of the item to free up some room in your home. Things that you will want to keep include seasonal clothing and decorations. But if these items are so plentiful that you will still require a storage unit to store them, then you should also go through them to see what you can get rid of, and what you need to hold onto.
Seasonal clothing and decorations should be able to fit into storage bins, and neatly placed in an attic or a garage. Storage bins are ideal for decoration items, as they can be filled with all shorts of things of all kinds of shapes, while still remaining orderly and organized in a garage or attic. They are also easy to tote around when needed, and when you are looking to storage your decorations in the attic they make for an easy way to get them up the ladder and in the perfect spot.
If you have clothing that you want to protect, and feel that a storage bin will not do an adequate job, than the vacuum sealed bags work wonderfully. Not only are these bags great for reducing the clutter, as they can be packed with clothes and minimized to something that looks like three shirts, they can also fit neatly under beds or in closets of your home.
