VENTURA COUNTY — As we enter 2019, New Year’s resolutions are at the forefront of everyone’s mind. While gyms start to reach capacity and homes receive fresh face lifts, local PODS moving and storage is stepping in to help local residents declutter their homes and start the New Year clutter free with a few helpful tips.
Tip #1- Go at your own pace. The clutter wasn’t created in one day so neither will the decluttering process. Going at your own pace will allow you to keep up and develop a good routine.
Tip #2- If you don’t use it, donate or sell it. People often hold onto items that they do not need. Organize your belongings by sentimental value and prune the items you are unsure of. Local PODS moving and storage offers secure, climate controlled warehouses to store those sentimental items you are not ready to part with.
Tip #3-Equip yourself with the right tools to organize your home. Using clear plastic bins to store seasonal items and labels will help keep those items clean and organized.
Tip #4-Transform Rooms: Once you have spaces opened up from junk, rearrange furniture accordingly. Organize furniture, artwork, or other memorabilia in the visually appealing coordination of threes. If there’s more than three, consider storing items.
Tip #5- Consolidate seasonal items. It’s time to take down the Christmas décor and pull out your Valentine’s Day adornments. When packing keep similar items together and make sure to mark containers clearly so that they’re ready for next year’s holiday decorating.
PODS moving and storage methods provide cost-effective ways to declutter and store items:
- Accessibility – PODS will drop off a container and store it when filled.
- Storage of Clutter – On-site or off-site storage of all those large or unruly household items. Clear houses, yard, and other living spaces of personal items so the house structure shines through.
- Flexible Solutions – By storing items with PODS, there’s the additional benefit of swapping out items such as holiday decorations for regular everyday belongings.
