When furniture, electrical appliances, lamps or other household items are no longer needed, they often find a place in the basement. Gradually, the basement space fills up and the storage space becomes less. To create space again and bring order to the basement, the prefabricated house portal bautipps.de gives helpful recommendations on how owners and tenants can separate from broken and useless things and create storage space again.
In the process, it is first important to clean out the basement. Bautipps advises to throw away all damaged and non-functional electrical appliances and items, because often they have already been replaced by new ones. The contents of the basement should then be sorted into three piles. One with items that you want to keep, one that can be disposed of and one that you can't part with yet. The latter should be disposed of after three months at the latest, if the items continue to be unused.
After the basement is emptied, it can be swept and cleaned. Dirt and leaves should be removed, leaky windows sealed and, if necessary, fix a light well grille. Then the basement should be measured and equipped with suitable cabinets. A well thought-out organization system with labeled cabinets and drawers provides lasting order and the necessary overview that no other useless items find their place in the basement.
