How to Keep Your Attic Clean During the Holidays

 

If you’re like most people, your attic is the last place you want to be during the holidays. It becomes cluttered with boxes and decorations that don’t have a home elsewhere in your house. From small cases to multiple prominent decorations, it’s quick and easy for your attic to become messy during the holiday season.

If this sounds familiar, we’ve got some tips for keeping your attic clean and organized this holiday season!

Declutter First

Try to remove any unnecessary items from the attic, so there is room for all of your new holiday decorating supplies. It will be easier to find what you need! The sooner you declutter all your old things, the sooner you can create an organized system within your attic.

Organize Decorations Properly

An important rule of thumb is to keep your holiday boxes in one place. Have designated areas in the attic where you store them, so they don’t get mixed up with other items or clutter. It can even help to label your boxes so that when you go looking for everything you need, you know exactly where to start!

 

Use The Right Storage Containers

Unfortunately, your attic is the part of your home that is the most susceptible to rodents, insects, and other kinds of critters. Of course, this won’t be too much of an issue with the right insulation installation and cleaning process. But, in an effort to ensure your decorations are always safe, avoid using cardboard, paper, or plastic containers. Many critters can eat their way right through these!

Hard plastic or metal containers are usually the best way to go. And ensure that you get containers with lids that lock for extra protection!
