How to Clean out a House for Free

If you have a house full of items and are looking to save money, there are ways you can clean out your entire house for free!

This process requires more work and time thank hiring a professional cleanout service, but will save you money on your cleanout.

Step-By-Step Free House Cleanout Guide

Step 1: Organize Your Items

The first step in the cleanout process is to organize what you are keeping, what is trash, and what is valuable. This is the most time-consuming process, but it helps make your cleanout go more smoothly.

For example, bag up unwanted items into trash bags. For items you are keeping, move them into a storage unit or POD. There will most likely be items that you do not wish to keep but aren’t trash such as furniture, appliances, etc. You can keep these items in-place, but be sure to remove them of trash. Cleaning the items goes a long way as well.

Step 2: Find a Service

There are individuals who will clean out an entire house including the garbage just to keep some valuable items. For example, if you have 100 garbage bags worth of trash, but some bedroom sets, these individuals may take the job on. Beware though, most companies that offer “free” cleanouts are not licensed or insured.

If you decide to hire a free cleanout service, be sure to get references and make sure they dispose of your trash items properly. Many free services illegally dump trash in order to save money.

Step 3: Clean Out the House

Now that you have all your items separated and a company lined up to clean out the house, it’s time to start!

The cleanout process will take about 1-2 days for most small liquidation services. The time taken depends on the amount of employees and the trucks hauling your items away.

The entire process from separating your items, to bagging trash, to cleaning out the house takes approximately 1 week. We recommend taking a week off from work to expedite this process. The benefit is your cleanout should cost little to no money if you manage it yourself.

A Better Option

If you don’t have a week to clean out your house, a better option would be to hire a professional cleanout service.

Most reputable cleanout companies such as A+ Enterprises charge for their services. The reason we charge and some do not is because we donate your items instead of selling them. We have a large crew & fleet of trucks arrive to clean out your house. A weeklong cleanout process can be reduced to as little as 2 hours for a company like ours.

Essentially, you pay for the convenience of having a hands-off cleanout process, as well as having your goods donated to the less fortunate. We are fully licensed & insured and have 60+ 5 star reviews. We travel throughout all of Pennsylvania for estate & property cleanouts, and offer same-day service.
