Spring has just begun to break for 2022 and with spring comes cleaning up your house from the long winter. Trash and junk tend to pile up in the colder months of winter, and you may even have used boxes and wrapping paper from Christmas in your garage. If you’re not already planning a spring cleanout of your house, you should be, especially if it has been a few years since the last time you cleaned out your house. You may not realize it because it happens gradually, but things gather in our homes over time and reduce our living space. There is a myriad of reasons why a whole-house cleanout could benefit you and your family. Still not convinced? Here are several reasons why you should do a spring-cleaning whole-House cleanout.

Spring Cleaning Means More Room to Move

It doesn’t take long for junk, trash, and other clutter to compile, leaving little room to live and transforming your house into an unsightly mess. As with any project, safety should come first. Start your spring whole-House cleanout by removing unsafe broken furniture, damaged exercise equipment that could cause injury, and damaged or unnecessary items that take up space in your house. When you’ve completed your whole house spring cleanout, you will find your house has additional living space inside of it. More space means less fuel for a fire, fewer tripping hazards that can cause elderly people to fall, and less chance of getting sued by someone visiting your house who was injured.

Spring Cleaning Can Help Your Home’s Resale Value

Regardless of whether you are selling your home or not, a spring cleaning whole house cleanout is beneficial to your house’s resale value. When showing your house to potential homebuyers, you don’t want old torn furniture or broken exercise equipment, or boxes of junk in plain sight. Your house can be structurally sound, but the value of your house will be overshadowed by the clutter everywhere. Similarly, if you want to take out another mortgage, the inspector will not give you a glowing report with clutter everywhere that is a potential fire hazard. If you want to increase the value of your home, a spring cleaning is one of the best ways to do it.

Eliminating Junk and Clutter in a Spring Cleaning Will Make You Feel Better

A clear connection between clutter and depression has been made in recent years. Having to look at unpleasant clutter can bring on depression. Having large amounts of clutter in your house can be overwhelming. You may think it’s an impossible task because there is so much of it. Buckling down and getting started on your spring cleaning will bring a sense of accomplishment. Once you’ve removed a little clutter, you will start to feel better. Becoming depressed by clutter is a common issue during the winter months. Getting all of that clutter out will make you feel as if the spring has brought you a fresh start.

Spring Cleaning Makes Your House a Healthier Place

During the dark winter months, dust and mold tend to collect. Boxes, old bookshelves, old dressers, and worn-out appliances make excellent places for dust or mold to compile. Mold and mildew can be toxic and can be a serious threat to allergy and asthma sufferers. The actress Brittany Murphy died from pneumonia directly caused by mold in her home. For the allergy sufferer, the words dust-mites can bring anxiety. Dusty old shelves in your house can be a veritable dust mite farm. Dust mites thrive in such conditions. Removing clutter and junk from your house during a spring cleaning will let you get unneeded dust-gathering items. You can’t put a price on your health, so the effort and cost put into a whole-house spring cleanout will be worth your time.
