Downsizing Problems: How To Help Your Parents Clean Out

February 23, 2021

If you are busy with your career and your family life, helping your parents with senior relocating or senior downsizing can be very stressful. It can be tempting to find ways to get it done right away by taking the tough love approach. However, since you’re the adult child who’s been tasked to help out, you have to think about the feelings of your parents before you deal with the logistics.

Downsizing and Moving Tips

You need to convince your parents that they need to clean out and downsize their possessions. However, you need to do this carefully. You should position cleaning as a collaborative effort rather than as an order so that they won’t feel attacked. Use gentle words and make senior downsizing and decluttering sound like it’s a fun process.

But these shouldn’t stop you from moving to a new and better place. Selling your house and relocating to a new house doesn’t have to be stressful. Fortunately, you can hire a home organizing professional to help you with the transition.

Declutter

You need to declutter. Cut down the furniture, décor, family pictures, and clutter you have on display to a certain amount that will make your space look more inviting and open.

Moving can be a very stressful event and that’s why you need to hire the help of the experts. Yes, you may still be able to do many things on your own but there are instances when you’ll need the help of a professional organizer.

How can a professional organizer help?

Cut down your moving weight

Most moving companies charge by weight. Although getting rid of your extra skinny jeans and underwear might not reduce the moving weight that much but getting rid of 20 bags of books can. Before you begin packaging (at least two months before the move), you can enlist the help of a home organizing expert who can assist you in thinning out your shoes and books. These are some of the items that you may find it hard to be objective about.
