Declutter Your Home – By Room

Firstly, you’ll want to tackle decluttering your home, one room at a time. Depending how much time you have on your hands, you could choose to tackle a room each day, few days, or per week. Furthermore, you can list your unwanted items on Preloved as you make your way through decluttering your home. Meaning you won’t be overwhelmed by your preloved items around the house. This is the best way to make some extra cash and prevent your unwanted items from going to landfill!

Living Room
Anything from sofas, coffee tables, cabinets, rugs,  or even soft furnishings and accessories, can be cleared out. Just think if it no longer sparks your joy then get it listed on Preloved and earn some extra money!

Kitchen
Whether you’ve recently upgraded your kettle and toaster, given in and bought an air fryer, or had a complete new kitchen. You can sell any of your unwanted items with us and see how much you can make!

Playroom
Kids seem to go through phases every week. Have you recently bought your child everything Spider-Man and now they’ve decided that actually, they’re really into Batman? Sell your unwanted babies & children’s items on Preloved. There are always families in need of new things, so why consider  donating items using our Freeloved service.

Bedroom/s

In this category you want to tackle anything from bedroom furniture, to your wardrobe! It’s a big one, so prepare to spend a fair bit of time going through all your unwanted clothes. Then don’t forget to list them on Preloved, too!

Bathroom/s

Old bathroom units, sinks, mirrors, clocks, health and beauty items all fall under Bathrooms. You’d be surprised how much you can sell unwanted mirrors for on Preloved. Have a look for yourself and see.

Garden

You might be tempted to save this one for when the weather is a bit warmer, but we’d recommend tackling the garden now so that it’s ready and waiting for you! Plants, greenhouses, sheds, bicycles, scooters, trampolines. These are just some of the items you can sell on Preloved while you declutter your garden!

5 Questions to Ask Yourself When Decluttering:

  1. Does current me love this?
  2. Have I used this in the past 6 months?
  3. What value does this add to my life?
  4. Is this stained, broken, or damaged?
  5. Could this benefit someone else more than me?

Our Top Tips For Decluttering

  • Take time to ensure that your photos are high quality, and write detailed descriptions for each item you list. This will help fellow Preloved members see your items!
  • While you will help to make yourself some extra cash while decluttering your home, you can also give back to others in your community through Freeloved. The ‘useless’ stuff that is cluttering your home may incredibly valuable to someone else, so it’s worth listing items you are prepared to gift to another family.
  • Take your time. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and if you try to take too much on at once, you’ll start to feel the burn-out and never finish decluttering. This is why we recommend one room at a time.
