When a person decides to completely clear out their household, the feeling of embarking on a journey into the unknown quickly sets in when they look around. This was also the case for a young family living in a house on the outskirts of a larger city. After ten years spent in the same place, full of memories and pieces of furniture that gradually lost their original charm, they decided it was time for a change. New job opportunities and the desire for a fresh start led them to the idea of selling their house and moving to a smaller apartment.
The preparations for clearing out began with great anticipation. The parents realized that clearing out the household would not only involve physical labor – it would mark a new chapter in their lives. After brief family discussions, they agreed on a timeline that included three weeks of focused clearing. Each weekend was assigned to a specific room, making the process systematic.
Once a clear plan was set, it was time to take inventory of all personal belongings in the house. The parents encouraged their children to participate in the sorting. Exploring every corner initially felt like a great adventure as they discovered forgotten treasures such as old toy cars, children's books, and yogurt cups filled with colorful beads. Memories started to resurface, turning the clearing process into a nostalgic trip, which naturally slowed down the overall plan.
However, as they moved on to the sorting phase, the smiles began to fade. Questions arose about whether to throw certain items away or if they might come in handy again someday. These debates significantly slowed down the clearing process. Eventually, after several disagreements, they decided to create a category called “Decide Later.” This meant that items they were unsure about would either go to the parents' basement or the unused attic. Perhaps they would eventually figure out what to do with them.
But these “for later” items began to pile up, and everyone quickly realized that clearing out a household is not just about physical effort but also has an emotional dimension. As trash bins and garbage bags filled with unnecessary items, they decided it was time to call in professional help.
In just a few moments, they found a professional company specializing in clearance services. Although they initially agreed that they wouldn’t need such help and considered it an unnecessary expense, they soon realized that professional services could save them not only time but also the mental stress associated with clearing out. They didn’t wait long – the professionals arrived the very next day, ready to clear and organize their household. The team consisted of very helpful and friendly gentlemen from the EXTRA SERVICES network.
As these experts from the clearance company got to work, the process suddenly turned into a smooth and completely hassle-free operation. Items quickly disappeared, and the family watched as boxes, garbage bags, and old furniture vanished. Even though they were reluctant to part with some things, they knew that without the professionals, who took care of all the work and decision-making for them, the clearing process would have taken much longer, and their dream of starting a new chapter in their lives would have remained out of reach.
