The spare room stopped being a spare room years ago. The garage holds three decades of things that were definitely going to be sorted out soon. At some point the threshold shifts — not a crisis, just a decision — and getting it done stops feeling optional. We offer professional decluttering services across Melbourne: sorting, valuing, selling, donating, disposing. Dave has been doing this for close to 40 years. He’s seen every version of a full house, and nothing about it is unfamiliar.
Lighthouse are experts in decluttering services, providing a well-planned economical strategy, no matter where in Melbourne you live.
Professional Home Decluttering Across Melbourne
Some clients are downsizing — decades in the same house, furniture that won’t fit where they’re going, boxes in the roof that haven’t been opened since 2003. Others are getting a property ready for sale and need it presentable quickly. We also work with families dealing with a deceased estate, seniors who’ve lost track of what’s accumulated, and households where clutter has simply reached the point of being genuinely unmanageable.
The scope doesn’t matter much. We come to the property, assess what’s there, and handle it. No skips to organise, no charity runs to coordinate, no decisions to make about who takes what to the tip. Items with value get sold or donated. Everything else gets disposed of responsibly, not just dumped.
A House Declutter Service you can trust.
If you are overwhelmed by “stuff”, and in need of a house declutter, Lighthouse is at your service! We take care of everything, but here are some handy hints to get the ball rolling.
What should I remove first when decluttering?
Sit down room by room and determine the items that no longer serve you and remove them either by charity donation, selling on the internet, by auction or hard rubbish depending on value.
What is the 80/20 rule for decluttering?
The 80/20 rule suggests that we roughly use 20% of what we own around 80% of the time. By determining the items that are just sitting around that have no sentimental value or haven’t been used that are taking up space are the items to focus on. Do I need it?
Where do I start decluttering when overwhelmed?
Make a plan. Start small, maybe a draw or cupboard. Being overwhelmed makes it hard to declutter, get a friend into help. Call a professional who has no attachment to the items as they can talk you through the process to make it easier. We pride ourselves in providing the best house decluttering services Melbourne has to offer!
