Spring cleaning often dies in the basement. You start with the linen closet, work great for two days, and lose steam by the time you hit the storage room. Here's a room-by-room checklist that focuses on what to actually remove — not what to organize.
Garage
- Bikes no one rides
- Broken yard equipment (mowers, weed-eaters, leaf blowers)
- Empty paint cans (route to KC HHW — we can't take)
- Boxes you haven't opened since the last move
- Sports equipment from a sport no one plays anymore
Basement
- Old electronics (CRT TVs, dead computers, broken VCRs)
- Outgrown furniture
- Holiday decorations that haven't been used in 3 years
- Boxes of school papers from your adult kids
- Mystery storage tubs
Attic
- Old mattresses or box springs
- Anything with rodent evidence (don't mess with it — call us)
- Books no one reads
- Furniture you've been "saving" for a kid who already has a couch
Kids' rooms
- Outgrown toys (donate the good ones)
- Old crib, changing table, baby furniture
- School-art collection no one will miss
- Broken or outgrown bikes
Kitchen
- Small appliances you never use (bread maker, ice cream maker, etc.)
- Pots and pans with damaged non-stick coating
- Spice rack contents older than 2 years
- Tupperware with no matching lids
The "I'll deal with it later" pile
Every house has one. It's usually in a guest room, garage corner, or basement. Carve out 30 minutes per Saturday for two weekends to sort it — donate what you can, set aside what we should haul.
The cleanout
When your "haul" pile is built, text us a photo. Most spring cleanouts in the KC metro can be done in 2–4 hours with one of our crews — and we donate or recycle what we can. Spring slots fill up fast (March–May is our busiest window), so book a week or two ahead if you can.
