Spring Cleaning Before Moving

Spring Cleaning Before Moving: How to Declutter Before Your Big Move

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home and get organized, especially if you’re planning a move. Decluttering before moving can save you time, money, and stress. Here’s how to efficiently pare down your belongings before your relocation in Farmington Hills, MI, Grand Rapids, MI, West Chester, OH, and Indianapolis, IN. If you have questions, call University Moving & Storage at (844) 366-0245.

1. Start Early and Make a Plan
Don’t wait until the last minute to start decluttering. Set a timeline and work through one room at a time to make the process manageable. Creating a checklist can help keep you on track and ensure nothing is overlooked.

2. Use the Four-Box Method
Sort items into four categories: keep, donate, sell, or discard. If you haven’t used something in over a year, it may be time to let it go. Be honest about what you truly need in your new home.

3. Focus on Key Areas
• Closets: Get rid of clothes that no longer fit or that you haven’t worn in years.
• Kitchen: Discard expired food, duplicate utensils, and unused small appliances.
• Garage/Basement: Toss broken tools, old sports equipment, and holiday decorations you no longer use.
4. Sell or Donate Unwanted Items
Consider selling high-value items on online marketplaces or having a garage sale. Donate gently used items to local charities or thrift stores to help others while reducing waste.

5. Work with a Moving Company That Offers Packing Services
University Moving & Storage can help streamline your move by offering expert packing services. With fewer items to pack, your move will be more efficient and cost-effective.
