Decluttering is not just important simply because it cleans everything up. But also because it enables you to choose what you’ll need and not need, and what you are going to have room for.

The most important thing to remember when de-cluttering is that you’ll be making room and getting rid of emotional baggage, whilst lowering your moving expenses. An average four person house requires at least a 7 tonne van to move, whilst a house that does not de-clutter might require twice that!

De-cluttering can be considered essential or not – but either way, moving house is one of the best times to do a proper de-clutter. In fact at times, its the only ‘spring clean’ that some people do.. And while its always good to hold onto things of sentimental value, do you really need a newspaper from 1985 with an article about something that you needed to follow up within 7 days of the printing?

Remove any papers that you don’t need (though keep all significant documentation) – consider donating any magazines, books, old toys or clothes in good condition to a local charitable organization – or sell all of them on Amazon or similar, to make some cash.

These donations and sales make mental and space sense. You’re not throwing away perfectly good items you will probably never use again, and you can sell the genuinely good condition items in a selection of places. Common option is holding a garage sale before the day of relocation. Also, modern sale sites had sprouted online to aid you sell your items. Come to think about it, you dont just got rid of too much things to think about, you even generated extra money. If you have a home office, clean it up by selling off surplis office, or craft supplies. It isn’t just good for your eyesight, it actually makes you move leaner and easier.
