Why Spring is Ideal for Clean-Outs
Spring offers perfect conditions for a cottage clean-out: cool enough for physical work, dry enough to move items outside, and early enough to enjoy a clutter-free cottage all season. Many cottage owners combine their spring opening inspection with a thorough cleanout.
What to Clear Out
Common items to remove during spring opening: Old furniture that's seen better days, mattresses and bedding that have gone musty, broken outdoor equipment, outdated electronics and appliances, years of accumulated miscellaneous items, and winter debris from mice or weather damage.
Spring Clean-Out Checklist
Before your clean-out: Walk through all structures (cottage, shed, garage, boathouse). Identify items to keep vs. remove. Check for valuables in drawers and closets. Note any hazardous materials. Clear a path for the junk removal crew. Document items with photos if getting a remote quote.
Booking Your Spring Clean-Out
Spring is our busiest season, so we recommend booking 1-2 weeks ahead for your preferred date. Text us photos anytime to get a quote, and we'll schedule your clean-out around your cottage opening plans.
