How to Plan and Prepare for Your Attic Cleanout

A messy attic results in dreadful consequences – pests’ infestation, damaged furniture, peeled walls, and the entire area littered with dirt and debris. Spending a little time and energy on cleaning your attic can prevent the roof space from turning into an absolute dump. Here’s a complete guide on how to plan and prepare for your attic cleanout.

1.    Remove all the Items

If your attic is filled with junk, you should start with clearing up the space. Take out all the bags, boxes, and containers stored in your attic. Place them aside or outside your attic.

2.    Clean the Place Down

Now that you have cleared up the space, it’s time to clean the attic itself. Vacuum or scrub the walls and flooring to get rid of all the dirt and debris. If your attic has been locked for ages, it’s most likely to be filled with spider webs. Use a broom or vacuum cleaner to remove them.

Use the mixture of water and detergent to mop the floor and walls of your attic. Throw all the fabrics – curtains, mats, etc. – into the washing machine.

3.    Clean the Attic Items

The next step is to clean up all the stuff in your attic. Dust them away, and if need be, wash them, too, with a hose. While cleaning, throw away old, broken, or unwanted items. It can be difficult to part from certain items, but make a genuine effort to keep only useful things. If you don’t want to dispose of certain goods but know deep down that you won’t be using them anymore, you can donate those items to charity.  In this way, you won’t feel guilty about discarding things that are close to your heart. Also, avoid storing your items in old storage boxes. Instead, use new and sturdy storage bins. 

4.    Check for Pests, Mold, and Damaged Insulation  

A cluttered attic is a thriving place for mold and undesirable pests’ activity. Some common pests found in attics are bugs, spiders, roof rats, raccoons, flies, squirrels, and even snakes! Apart from these pests, look out for mold and any spotty insulation. If you can’t deal with these common attic issues by yourself, don’t hesitate to call for professional help.
