Make a plan of action for what areas need to be addressed first.
In any endeavor, having a plan of action is an important step to ensure success. When facing multiple areas that require attention, it's important to prioritize which ones need to be addressed first. You could start with the most cluttered area or those that need to be addressed immediately.
Create a checklist of tasks and objectives.
Another key step before beginning the process is creating a checklist of tasks and objectives. This can make it easier to track progress as you work through each task, giving you an idea of what needs to be accomplished and when. You may even want to break larger tasks into smaller ones, allowing you to measure progress more easily and keep yourself motivated!
Categorize items into 'keep' and 'donate/recycle/sell' piles.
As you go through each item, ask yourself (or your loved one) if it is something they have used or plan to use in the near future. If not, consider letting it go to someone who may benefit from it.
Remember, the things we own often hold emotional ties, but by letting go of what no longer serves us, we will make room for new experiences and opportunities. This is, at least, a way to motivate yourself or your loved one to move forward in the hoarder house cleaning process.
Take on one room at a time to avoid becoming overwhelmed.
Whether you start with the kitchen, the bedroom, or the living room, tackling one room at a time allows you to apply all your organizational skills to a specific area, resulting in a more effective and streamlined approach. Go through each item with care but also with a clear mindset!
Set realistic goals for yourself in terms of the amount you can clean each day.
Setting realistic goals is an important aspect of any endeavor, especially during a hoarder house cleaning. By setting achievable daily goals, you can avoid burnout and keep your space clean and organized in a sustainable way. When it comes to cleaning, the amount you can realistically tackle each day may vary depending on your schedule and energy level!
Create dedicated spots in the house for items that are kept.
By designating a specific location for each item, you can easily find and access them when you need them. Additionally, it can help to alleviate the frustration of constantly searching for or misplacing things! Whether it's a drawer for your keys, a basket for your mail, or a shelf for your books, taking the time to establish these dedicated spots can make a significant difference in the overall functionality and feel of the home.
Don’t forget to make sure all spaces are thoroughly vacuumed and dusted.
Dust can cause allergies and other health issues, as well as make surfaces look dull. Vacuuming or sweeping carpets, rugs, furniture, and baseboards on a regular basis helps to eliminate dust, dirt, pet dander, and other allergens that may be present in the home.
Beyond organization and cleaning, it's important to take care of the larger maintenance tasks in a home. Depending on the age of your house, it may be beneficial to have an annual checkup done by a licensed contractor or plumber and electrician who can look for any potential issues. This can help you identify problems before they become expensive and time-consuming repairs!
