Discovering treasures in the depths of forgetfulness Order
Almost everyone has a place in their home that becomes a mysterious kingdom of forgotten treasures and dusty memories – and this place is often the cellar. However, when the time comes to clear it out, it’s usually like opening a gate to another world. Who knows what’s hidden in the dark and dust? Beneath the surface, there may literally be the history of your family, and so clearing out the cellar can turn into a very interesting, possibly even spooky activity.
But when you say cellar, everyone imagines a differently sized space. While a cellar in a family house might represent a space with several rooms, a cellar locker assigned to an apartment is often so small that two people could hardly fit in next to each other. The difference in clearing out these types of cellars can mean many hours of work, surprisingly regardless of the size of the cellar.
Clearing out a cellar locker probably won’t be as exciting as clearing out a large cellar full of treasures. Do you know what’s actually hidden there? From forgotten Christmas decorations to old toys you used to play with, the cellar can literally be a historical storage room. It’s a good idea to have good equipment on hand, such as disposable gloves for hand protection, boxes, and of course garbage bags. Once you’ve equipped yourself with the necessary tools, it’s time to dive into the clearing out and waste disposal, but maybe even treasures.
When you start rearranging and sorting things, it’s a good idea to think about what you want to keep, what you’ll donate, and what you’ll throw away. You can create three piles: “Keep,” “Donate,” and “Throw Away.” This simple system will help you stay organized and support decision-making about individual items. To make the clearing really meaningful, the biggest pile should obviously be for those things you plan to throw away and get rid of for good.
However, when it comes to handling heavy pieces or bulky items, like old tables, cabinets, or wobbly shelves, it’s good not to hesitate to use a professional clearance company. The experts who specialize in clearance not only have the necessary skills but also equipment that makes it easier to safely clear out each piece. With them, you’ll at least avoid potential injury or damage to the corners and walls of your home.
Once the entire clearing process is done and it seems everything is complete, you’re still far from finished. The spaces are beautifully airy and ready for further use, but before that, the final phase comes, and that’s the cleaning. It would be a shame, after all your effort, to leave the cellar full of dust, cobwebs, and other mess. Moreover, after all those years of use, you have to admit it deserves a little love and care. It would definitely be worth considering painting as well.
Finally, clearing out the cellar is more than just removing old items. It’s a way to create space for a new future. Whether you decide to take action yourself or with the help of experts, like those from the EXTRA SERVICES network, remember that it’s a great opportunity for self-reflection. Every item you pick up tells its story, and you can reflect on what it meant to you. The story of the old wooden table where family dinners were held or the dusty boxes full of vacation memories is a look back at your life. And, or perhaps the old jars of preserves that you simply have to throw away.
