For many people, the festive season – or just after – is a good time to declutter the house. However, having a major clearout in early spring has a lot of advantages as well. Here Hamiltons Removals, who offer special kits and packing materials for moving house from our Norfolk base, explain some of the key reasons why you should delay your decluttering until March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Need the Space<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be able to get rid of things which have been replaced or updated with Christmas presents. Also, you may be able to start thinking about replacing all the winter clothing you either haven\u2019t worn in the last few months (if you haven\u2019t, do you really need it at all?) or putting it into self-storage and replacing it with summer wear. Either way, your wardrobes and chests of drawers will have a lot more room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same applies outside the house in your garage and garden shed. You can get rid of all the paraphernalia which has built up over the winter and if you didn\u2019t use it last summer, then get rid of it now before summer rolls around again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a Practical Use of Your Time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chances are you are at home anyway, because the weather means it\u2019s too cold or wet to do much outside or anything in the garden. Decorating and home improvement projects may also not be a good idea at the moment for similar reasons (having the windows open while you paint, for example, makes it unpleasantly cold as well as a chore). It is best to use the time constructively on something like decluttering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahead of a Spring Clean<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decluttering now will make that big spring clean a lot easier in a month or two\u2019s time as well. This is because by putting items into storage, selling them or giving them away you will generate more space and make getting into the nooks and crannies of the house much easier. Self storage is a particularly good idea if you want to clean the carpets in your home and you need somewhere to put big items of furniture during the work for a few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Financial Reasons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will probably be feeling the effects of the financial outlay of Christmas and winter energy bills. So it is more than likely you could do with the extra cash that decluttering will bring by selling items second hand or via an online auction site such as eBay and Facebook Marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You could also help the finances of others too, such as charity shops, who often experience a drop in donations after the initial post-Christmas rush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If You Plan to Move House<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If moving house is on your list of objectives for the year, then why not make a good start on the decluttering now ahead of time? By getting rid of those items that you no longer use or have never used, you will be making the whole moving process much simpler and less expensive. It will also give you good practice when it comes to packing all your possessions up and deciding what items you want to keep, and which you will discard, sell, or give away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
