How often do you clean your stockroom/storage room?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. elmolovesu (380)   ranked 53 out of 754 in homemaker 3 years ago

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!

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!

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.w00tI'm so allergic to dust that I refrain myself from even getting inside.sad


myLot reputation of 99/100. elmolovesu (380)   ranked 53 out of 754 in homemaker  3 years ago

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!

We built a storage shed out back and that is where we keep all of our excess items like holiday decorations and yard and garden tools and the like.
I do have a small room off my back porch that I call a mud room where everyone comes in the house that way and can take off their muddy shoes from being in the garden or just outside mowing or whatever. That way I do not have the mess in the house.
This room is heated so I also have a shelving unit along one wall that gives me space to store extras from the grocery store such as paper towels,toilet tissue and things like that.
It is a tile floor so a quick sweeping and mopping and it is just like new again.


myLot reputation of 99/100. elmolovesu (380)   ranked 53 out of 754 in homemaker  3 years ago

That's great, Olijulsar.
Having a mud room is really neat.thumbup
You are indeed pretty much organized.
Thanks for sharing. Have a lovely evening.

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!


myLot reputation of 99/100. elmolovesu (380)   ranked 53 out of 754 in homemaker  3 years ago

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!

Hi elmolovesu! That is one room that I have given up organizing at this time! LOL! w00t 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! wink
God bless..Take care always.

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.


myLot reputation of 99/100. elmolovesu (380)   ranked 53 out of 754 in homemaker  3 years ago

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!
