The attic often becomes a victim of the negligence of home-owners and becomes cluttered and full of unnecessary junk. Well, if your attic has turned into a storage room for everybody's junk then is it time to give it a thorough de-cluttering and cleaning? Once the space is free from all the junk and properly cleaned, you can use for something much more useful. That is why I came up with a few tips on how to clean and de-clutter your attic successfully. Start by inspecting the place – see if there are some things that might be considered dangerous and try to estimate how much manpower you'll need to successfully empty out the attic. You might need to book cleaning services in London or call a friend to help you if the job seems to hard for one person. You better choose one of your free days for this home chore because it will take a few hours at least to get the job done. Slowly and carefully empty out your attic and be extremely careful when you're coming down the ladder or the staircase – you don't want to fall down and hurt yourself. Go trough all your stuff and see what you don't really need any more. Throw away all that us junk and try to sell what is still OK. Now that the coast is clear from all the chaos and clutter, you can begin the cleaning of your attic. Attics are usually made of wood so you'll need a cleaning detergent that is designed for wooden surfaces. Before you start the cleaning procedure, though, it would be best to inspect the place for mildew. Mildew indicates that the place is not properly ventilated and you might have to do some repairs and install an extra window at least if you want to use the place for something other than just storing things. If there is any mildew it would be best if you contact a company that provides cleaning services in London and have your attic professionally cleaned, sanitized and deodorized. If you decide to clean the attic by yourself then it would be wise to do it with a home-made cleaning solution. Commercial cleaning products are both expensive and harmful to the environment and I am strongly against their use. Prepare home-made cleaning solution by mixing equal parts of water and white vinegar into a bucket, then add a few drops of liquid soap. This is a multi-purpose cleaning solution that is suitable for every surface including wood. Use mops and old rags to clean your attic thoroughly. Try to blot it up a little bit after that and leave the windows open so that it can dry properly. Now, you can put back all your things back but try to situate them in a way that won't take too much space. These useful cleaning tips were brought to you by the professional cleaners in Wallington.
