  1. Clear out the Junk

Do you have a ton of unmarked boxes in your attic? Consider getting rid of them. Rats and other pests may have already invaded these boxes.

Give yourself an entire day to go through the old boxes. If there’s anything worth saving, consider donating the items.

Make sure you don’t store electronics, photographs, or delicate fabrics in your attic. These items won’t store well upstairs, and you’ll end up having to throw them away.

  1. Figure out What You’re Keeping

Next, you’ll want to look around at what you’ve haven’t thrown out or given away. Start organizing the remaining boxes and label them.

This way, you’ll know exactly where to find essential documents or old keepsakes.

Try to put similar things together. You don’t want to have a bunch of half-empty boxes cluttering your attic.

By having a system to your attic storage, you won’t lose anything again. You’ll know where to put new items, and what you have stored upstairs.

It will be easier to clean a tidy and organized attic.

  1. Call a Professional

Do you notice any water damage? If so, you’ll want to call a professional attic cleaner right away. They can take care of finishing the attic clean up.

If you have damaged insulation, you’ll want to call in someone to get it replaced. Find someone who has experience with removing and restoring insulation.

  1. Seal Your Attic

After you have cleaned your attic in a thorough manner, make sure you seal your attic. This way, you can prevent critters from entering and making a mess.

You’ll also want to try and keep mold from growing or avoid dust accumulation.

You can also seal cracks in your attic and replace shingles blown off your roof. This will help prevent any moisture from entering the attic. Look out for leaks in your roof. Keep an eye out for dark spots.

By cleaning your attic often, you can stay on top of any dust build-up. Plan your spring cleaning with tips from Loft Leg.
