How often do you clean your stockroom/storage room?

Is your stockroom the attic or the basement of your house? Mine is just a small room. How do you clean it? Do you move everything or do you just dust and vacuum away the dirt? How do you organize the stuff that you don't get to use often? Are they in boxes or in some other kind of container? Do you label them? Thank you in advance. Happy mylottin!

We have a little room in our basement that we store things in. It gets cleaned out as needed, but it is pretty organized. Right now, it has things that I plan to get rid of in it. I am waiting for the weather to warm up before I do much with it. Once that stuff is gone, I will probably use it to store my kids outside toys if my husband doesn't find his own use for it.

Hi lynnemg. I am also trying to get rid of some stuff in my storage room as I need some space for some other things we barely use. That's actually what triggered this discussion. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a great evening!

I don't normally clean my store-room. It is something like once in 3 months. My store room is in the basement and when I am free I will go through it all and discard which are necessary. They are all neatly kept in boxes and I tag them all.

I try to clean out all the areas of my house twice a year. That way I do not collect that much stuff. I get rid of anything that I have not used in the last 6 months together and bring them to Goodwill. There is a lot that can accumulate in that time.

Hello phoenix. That's actually what I'm doing now. I'm sorting out those that I can donate to an orphanage. Thanks for responding, my friend. Have a great weekend!

Mine is the attic, as I don't have a basement. There is floorboarding up there and I keep a number of items up there. They get dirty and dusty, yes, but it's easily hoovered around and most of the stuff is covered by a sheet of polythene or a dust sheet, so all is well. I keep boxes, small cupboards, a desk and polybags full of stuff up there. Brightest Blessings.

Hi elmolovesu! That is one room that I have given up organizing at this time! LOL! I have relinquished my cleaning apron on the storage room over to my husband. haha..Anyway, 99 percent of the things in there belongs to him. He put everything in boxes, labeled them and then will wrapped the boxes in plastic. he wants doing that stuff since he always want to know where all his stuffs are. So, I am off the hook! God bless..Take care always. lovelots..faith

I have a house about square meter,it is not too large,but I think I am lazy to clean it,I only clean it once a weak,and it often takes me two hours,because when I in the house on Saturday and Sunday,I feel it is so dirty that I even can't stay,so I clean it,and very carefully!

Hello kekexinfeng. I think cleaning it once a week is okay. But if you have spare time, maybe you could do it every 3 or 4 days. Thanks for your response. Have a great day!

Oh my! Quite an interesting question! It's so funny to think of it but I seldom clean my stockroom--well I guess only if I'll be needing some stuffs there and I need to rearrange things there to find that stuff.I'm so allergic to dust that I refrain myself from even getting inside.

Hi mjmlagat. It would really help if someone else could do the cleaning for you on a regular basis since you are allergic to dust. Thanks so much for your response. Have a great evening!

i clean the storage room every saturday.. this is called a storage room and as such is liable to attract insects and pests, so i clean it every saturday and woulnt fear or worry much about pests... as for boxes, i know every box and so i need not label them...

Hello billgatexp. Having a weekly maintenance of the storage room would definitely keep those pests away. Thanks so much for responding. Have a great day!
