subject: Ways to Clean and Organize Your Basement [print this page] Whether or not your basement is finished, has been turned into a room, or is considered a play area, it should be just as organized as the rest of your home. Unfortunately, the possibility for flooding in basements is common. Take several precautions before this kind of incident happens.
Many families find themselves throwing unwanted items from the rest of the house down into the basement. This usually results in a severe clutter issue. The first thing you should do after deciding to organize your basement is to separate what is needed and what can be thrown away or donated. Some items can even be sold on eBay (which can help you earn a few bucks).
