Are you a practical junk collector, or a sentimental junk collector? When you walk into a room, all clutter may look the same. But categorizing clutter is the first step in overcoming the mess.

Practical Clutter

We all have a junk drawer filled with expired coupons and safety pins, a closet of clothes we’ll “fit into one day,” and a garage full of DIY materials for those someday projects. But how much of that stuff is actually useful? It’s easy to tuck something away because you’re sure you’ll need it one day. But if one day never comes, that useful stuff becomes junk. It’s time to sort through your tools, materials, and fixer uppers to determine what’s actually practical, and what’s gotta go.

Sentimental Stuff

We’ve all been there. You know that box of memorabilia isn’t useful, but when you go to throw it out, you’re tugged down memory lane. You feel guilty when you try to donate your late Grandmother’s collection of antique plates, even though you have no use for them. And isn’t it rude to regift? Getting rid of sentimental clutter is hard, but it can be done. Instead of boxing up everything at once, sort through items a category at a time. Some stuff may fetch a few bucks on Ebay, but chances are there’s a lot of junk in your collection. First find heirlooms a new home. Then call us so you can rest assured that every item that can’t be donated will be recycled.

What critters are hiding in your clutter? Chances are your junk closet is home to more than just guilt. Clear away the clutter to keep your home pest-free.

3 Ways a Messy House Attracts Pests

1. Backyard clutter. Do you have piles of leaves, stacked firewood, or other organic debris littering your yard? Those dark, wet piles of detritus attract more than just mildew. Pest like insects, scorpions, and snakes may be hiding in your outdoor junk. Don’t worry, Mr. Junk can clear away the clutter in no time!
2. Attic storage. Do you have to dodge teetering stacks of boxes anytime you enter the attic? Pests are probably hiding behind those boxes and bags of accumulated junk. Attic spaces are dark, quiet, and close to food sources. Cardboard boxes also make comfy nests for rats and other rodents. Clean out your attic and say “so long” to storage place squatters.
3. Crumbs and kitchen clutter. Ants and roaches tend to invade the kitchen. Why? Crowded cabinets are cluttered with pots, pans, and extra plates, giving them a dark place to hide. Crumbs on the counter, trash in the garbage, and open boxes in the pantry give insects a ready meal. And in the kitchen pests are never far from a water source. Keep pests out of the kitchen by decluttering cabinets, wiping down the counters, and taking the trash out every day.

Cleaning out clutter is the best way to prevent a pest problem. Need some help? Call Mr. Junk to remove furniture, boxes, and miscellaneous junk from your home in Roswell.

Alright, let’s be real. Spring cleaning has gotten a bit stale. Not if we have anything to say about it! Use these spring cleaning hacks to make your home sparkle this year.

5 Best Spring Cleaning Hacks

1. Water stains. Is your faucet, showerhead, or other bathroom fixture spotted with water stains? Cut a lemon in half and use the inside to scrub away water stains.
2. Water rings. A hair dryer will evaporate water stains from wooden surfaces. Condition the surface afterwards with a quick swipe of olive oil.
3. Grimy door tracks. It’s one of those things you never notice . . . until you do, and then you never stop noticing. Soak a rag in vinegar and use it to clean door tracks. The grime will practically melt away!
4. Mattresses. Do you feel like the Princess and the Pea, tossing and turning all night? It may be because of odors embedded in your mattress. Clean it quick with a solution of vodka in a spray bottle. You can add a few drops of essential oils to give it a springtime fresh scent. Just spray the mattress and let it air dry to kill the odors causing your sleepless nights.
5. Crown molding. Wrap a towel around the bristles of your broom and secure with twine or a rubber band. Voila! A malleable, long-handled cleaning tool to banish dust in no time flat.
6. HVAC vents. Even cleaning tools created specifically for vents don’t always work. But don’t worry, there’s an easy solution! Wrap a thin rag around a spatula or butter knife. Your vents will be dust-free in minutes.

Your kitchen sees a lot of use, most of it messy. Sick of the grime? Make your kitchen glisten with these spring cleaning kitchen hacks from Mr. Junk.

5 Kitchen Cleaning Hacks

1. A lemony-fresh kitchen sink. Does your sink stink? Here’s the solution: get an ice cube tray and fill it with sliced lemons. Fill the leftover space with vinegar. Stick the tray in an out-of-the-way area of the freezer. Every time your garbage disposal smells particularly putrid, you can drop a cube down the sink, run the disposal, and wait for the lemony-fresh scent to waft up toward your nose.
2. Scrub your sink (round 2). Take 2 on the citrus and neutralizer cleaning method: slice a lemon or lime in half and coat it with baking soda. Scrub away!
3. Cleaning cast iron. Soap and a sponge is death to a cast iron skillet. So how are you supposed to clean it? Pick up a shaker of coarse salt from the grocery store. Shake a generous amount into the skillet, then use a rag or soft sponge to scrub. To make your cast iron gleam (and improve the nonstick factor), season your skillet when you’re done.
4. Play with your food. How can you clean artwork (in the kitchen or elsewhere) without damaging the canvas? Cut a bagel in half and use the soft side to gently rub the surface of your paintings. Weird, but it works.
5. Clean your dishwasher. Does your dishwasher have soap scum, leftover food particles, or a generally grimy look? Clean it before reloading the dishwasher. Put a cup of vinegar in a dishwasher safe container on the top shelf. Run it on the highest temperature, then sprinkle baking soda on the bottom of the dishwasher and run it again.

There’s something about spring that propels us to make big decisions. Whether you’re finally cleaning out your attic, starting fresh with a new year (uh, season) resolution, or finally taking the plunge on upsizing/downsizing your home, spring is a time for renewal. Have you decided to relocate? Skip the costly mistakes with these 5 tips for moving in the spring.

5 Tips for Spring Relocation

1. Start early. Most Americans move in the summertime, typically between the months of May and September. Want to save on moving costs? Move during the off season.
2. Shop around. Are you hiring a moving service? Don’t jump on the first one you find. Look online for customer reviews, call several companies to ask for quotes, and ask about the details (like what happens if they break your antique china cabinet).
3. Love the weather. Nobody wants to haul boxes in the bitter cold or blistering heat. Take advantage of those cool, cloudy days. Just make sure to check the weather report for rain the week you plan on moving.
4. Think about staging. If you’re selling your home, spring may be on your side. Not only does a spring move give your buyers time to get settled before summer, it will also give your home a visual boost as flowers, shrubs, and trees burst into bloom. Make sure you’ve cleaned out your yard and you’re good to go.
5. Knockout spring cleaning. Not only will your home look better, you’ll pay less to move junk you’re only going to shove into the attic anyway. Want to make spring cleaning easier? Call Mr. Junk to haul off old appliances, furniture, and boxes of stuff.

Spring cleaning. Whether you love it or hate it, no one can deny that the home feels a lot brighter after successful spring cleaning. But with so much to do, it’s easy to get lost in the madness. How can you make spring cleaning more successful? Follow Mr. Junk’s spring cleaning prep tips.

4 Tips for Pre Spring Cleaning

1. Preserve and protect. Do your kitchen floors look dingy and dull? Is the back deck more gray than gleaming? Before diving into spring cleaning, take care of big projects like refinishing the deck and sealing the floors with protective wax.
2. Assess your mess. If your house feels cramped and cluttered, it’s time to say goodbye to some stuff. Rearrange the furniture to keep larger, visually heavy pieces away from hallways and small spaces. Get rid of stacks of magazines, useless trinkets, and closet clutter. Decide if it’s time to replace old furniture like that pea green couch from your childhood home. Assess the state of in-home carpeting to determine whether it’s adding to the general mess of your home.
3. Do the dirty work. Normally you don’t look too closely at baseboards, walls, and vents, but it’s time to do the dirty work. Wash cabinets, walls, baseboards, and major appliances that don’t get a regular cleaning.
4. Look up. The baseboards aren’t the only dirty places in your home. Clean light fixtures, ceiling fans, and HVAC vents above eye level.
