Attic Cleaning Tips and Tricks

Introduction

Cleaning out your attic can be a daunting task, and it’s easy to put off cleaning up the space for months or even years. Whether you’re preparing for a big move or simply want to restore order in your home, attics are notorious for being messy and full of clutter. As with any large organization project, it’s important to have a plan before you begin. Adopting good practices like planning ahead and keeping an open mind will help make the job easier. That’s why we created this guide: so that you know what to expect when you tackle your attic cleaning project!

How to clean the attic

• Remove all the junk from the attic. This will make it easier to clean and organize the space.

• Clean the floor, walls and ceiling thoroughly with a vacuum cleaner, broom or other cleaning tools (depending on what you have at home). You can also use a damp rag for this step if you don't have any equipment at home that suits your needs for scrubbing down surfaces in an attic.

• If there are windows in your attic, wash them with soap and water before washing them with vinegar and water solution (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water). Wipe away any residue left behind by this method with a dry cloth or paper towel after drying the window completely; some types of window cleaners may damage old windows so be sure they're safe before using them!

• Carefully remove dust buildup on light fixtures if necessary using a dust cloth before cleaning each one individually by hand using warm soapy water mixed with white vinegar (1:3 ratio), then rinse thoroughly afterwards using clean tap water only since vinegar is too harsh for most plastics used in modern lighting fixtures today! Dry everything carefully afterwards until no more moisture remains which could cause further damage over time due to humidity levels rising slowly over time without proper maintenance procedures being taken care of regularly."

How to clean up a cobweb infestation

If you're dealing with a cobweb infestation, the first thing to do is wear gloves and a face mask. This way, you'll be able to clean up without having to worry about getting stuck by a spider or breathing in too much dust.

Next, use your vacuum cleaner to remove any cobwebs that are hanging from the ceiling or walls. Use long strokes with the nozzle so that you don't miss any spots. If there are still some hanging around after this step, use a broomstick end-on-end (the part of the broom where all the bristles meet) and sweep them out of reach.

Lastly, go over all of those surfaces again with your rag to wipe away any remaining dust or spider web remnants

How to remove chalk marks from walls

You can use a damp cloth, sponge or even a sponge with just a little water. If you want to get rid of the chalk marks quickly, try using vinegar on a sponge; it will eat away at the color. With ammonia you'll need to scrub a bit more. Vinegar and ammonia both work well together.

If there's one thing you don't want to use on your walls, it's rubbing alcohol because it will leave permanent stains if not cleaned properly afterward! Dish soap works great for removing crayon from walls and won't stain like rubbing alcohol does - but still make sure not to let any dishes sit out in your dishwasher for too long before putting them in there!

How to clean grime off of gutters and downspouts

• Use a soft-bristled brush to remove mold and mildew from the gutters.

• Pressure wash your downspouts to remove dirt and debris.

• Use a ladder to reach those hard-to-reach spots on your roof.

• Use a long-handled brush to clean away stubborn grime from even the most difficult of areas, like around shingles or vents for example. If you don't have one of these on hand, grab anything else that can reach up into those areas: A long-handled scrubber, broom or broom/scrubber combination may also work in this case!

Where to put your junk when you're moving out of an old house

When you're moving out of an old house, it's best to make sure that you clean the attic before you leave. If you don't, there are many things that could go wrong. For example, if a squirrel has been living in your attic for years, it will probably be angry at being forced out and will fight back with its teeth. The squirrels in your attic may also have built nests up there while they were living in it—and these nests can hold all sorts of nasty things like muskrats and cat fur. And if those weren't enough reasons to clean the attic before leaving your old house, consider the possibility that there might be mice or rats hiding away up there as well!

So what do I recommend? Try taking off one wall of your roof and putting some fans on each side so they blow around dust particles while everyone else is moving out of their rooms below yours (so they don't get sick from breathing all those particles). And if you have time after doing this: sweep up any cobwebs that may have grown over time on top surfaces near windowsills where light shines through daily--these tend not only attract pests but also produce more pollen than other areas due to warmth generated by surrounding lights shining through into them during summer months when days are longer than nights because Earth revolves slower around suns than moons revolve around planets (which themselves rotate faster than stars).

How to start cleaning your attic

• Open the attic access door and turn on the lights.

• Use a vacuum to clean cobwebs, dust, dirt, mold, mildew and rust from surfaces in your attic (including wood beams).

• Use water/soap solution to clean grease stains on woodwork in your attic (also make sure to wipe away any oil splatters or overspray).

• Clean paint chips out of cracks with a wire brush after they have dried completely; this will prevent them from falling out onto staircases or floors below during an upcoming remodel project!

Cleaning an attic can be a lot of work, but it's worth doing.

• You might find items you forgot about: There are lots of things that could be hiding in your attic. Those old toys from childhood may have stayed there this entire time! You might also find other items that you don't want anymore or need to replace, like old clothes or broken electronics. Or maybe you'll even stumble upon some really cool stuff like an antique chair or a collection of old comic books! The point is that there's always something interesting waiting for you up there if you take the time to look for it—and once it's found, it'll feel good knowing exactly where everything is so that anyone who comes over won't get confused by all the clutter surrounding them when they try looking for something specific themselves (which happens more often than not). The best part? It doesn't matter what kind of junk exists within these walls—just clean them out once every summer (or every few years) and keep going strong until next time comes around again."

Conclusion

Cleaning your attic is a great way to start off the new year right! Follow these simple tips and tricks and you'll be able to get rid of all those cobwebs, old newspapers, chalk marks on walls, grime on gutters, junk that needs throwing out before moving day comes around.
