De-cluttering Before Household Movers Pack

De-cluttering before packing is an important aspect of preparing to move - because it allows you to decide what you'll need for the new house, what you'll have room for, and what you won't.

The most important thing to remember when de-cluttering is that you'll be making room and getting rid of emotional baggage, while lowering your moving bills. An average four person house requires at least a seven ton van to move, while a house that doesn't de-clutter might need twice that! The professional household movers will definitely appreciate the fact that you have made their job easier.

De-cluttering can be considered essential or heartless - but either way, moving is one of the best times to do a proper de-clutter - in fact, sometimes, it's the only 'spring cleaning' that some people do. And while its always good to hang onto things of sentimental value, you may find that you are keeping some things that you will never need or use. The added cost of the additional space in the truck and packing done by the household movers is likely to make you think twice about collecting clutter in the future.

Consider having a household moving sale to make a little extra money for your moving expenses. This way you can de-clutter and gain multiple advantages. Another option is to simply donate your usable items. You and your household movers will benefit from having less to move.
