Homeowners contemplating the daunting task of cleaning up their attic will find the encouragement and guidance they need to get the job done by tuning into the AtticMaxx™ Shelving System blog this month. During a series of January blog posts, AtticMaxx is offering attic de-cluttering and organizing advice.
GO Month is dedicated to raising the awareness of the benefits of being organized and of hiring a professional organizer as we begin the new year. As many of us are making frequent trips to our attics to return holiday décor, January is also a good month to assess exactly what we have in our attics, what could and should go in the attic and how we could make better use of the valuable storage space.
Through the series of “Organize Your Attic” blog posts, readers will gain valuable professional organizing advice before tackling the project such as:
• Create “must keep” and “must go” rules;
• Gather the necessary supplies (checklist to be provided);
• Develop a system for moving items into KEEP, TRASH/RECYLE and DONATE boxes/piles;
• Snap a “before” picture for encouragement and a sense of accomplishment.
The series will also provide suggestions for coping with the stress and emotions of a major attic cleanup. "Attics often hold boxes of delayed decisions and cartons full of treasures which could include your great-grandmothers silver or baby clothes once worn by your now college senior,” explains Perri Kersh, a professional organizer, owner of Neat Freak and member of the National Association of Professional Organizers. “The emotional stress mixed with the overwhelming task of sorting through numerous boxes that have accumulated for years can make for a challenging organizing task. Breaking the task down into manageable steps or calling in a professional to help can make the job much easier."
The final post in the series will include tips and product recommendations for ensuring your attic stays clutter free. It will cover the benefits of AtticMaxx shelving, which easily attaches to attic trusses — the triangular wooden structures used to support a sloped roof — to create valuable, vertical storage space.
The first post is published and can be found on the AtticMaxx website – Step One: Take Stock, Set Rules and Gather Supplies. Subsequent posts will be published on a weekly basis throughout January.
