Introduction

A clean and organized basement is a home away from home. It’s a place where you can relax, entertain guests, and store your belongings. But if your basement is a mess, you don’t really want to spend time there. The good news is that cleaning up doesn’t have to be expensive or difficult — it just takes some elbow grease and some organization skills! In this article we’ll show you how to declutter, paint, organize and clean up your basement so that it looks great again and will actually be usable space for the whole family!

Declutter

Clean your floor

It’s important to keep your basement clean, so it’s no surprise that this is one of the first things you should do. The floor is one of the most important things to clean because it can get really dirty if you don’t keep an eye on it. Luckily, there are several ways you can go about doing this:

• Wipe down your floors with a wet mop and let dry before vacuuming (don’t forget to vacuum under beds).
• Sweep up dirt from hardwood floors using a broom (dry sweeping will cause scratches).

Paint your walls

Typically, painting a basement is not something that most people want to do. However, there are times when it is necessary. If you’ve decided to keep your basement or unfinished room as storage space, you’ll want to paint the walls for protection and better organization.

If you’re planning on using your basement for storage, then I would recommend using a neutral color like cream or light gray (or even white) to avoid making the space too bright and cheerful. A dark color will make it more difficult to see what’s in each box or cabinet. It also makes things feel smaller than they actually are!

I recommend using a roller brush because it will give you nice smooth coverage without streaks or drips every time – especially if this is your first time at painting! Using an angled brush can help with those hard-to-reach spots around the edges of trim moldings where fingers won’t reach easily enough without getting them all covered in paint too quickly… just remember: don’t stick yourself when you’re reaching across onto another side!

Add shelving

Shelving is a great way to organize your basement. You can place shelving anywhere, even on the ceiling. There are many different types of shelving that you can use for storage, including:

• Wooden shelves
• Wire shelving
• Pegboard shelving (for hanging tools)

The best way to figure out what type of shelving will work best for you and where you’ll put it is by using space planning software such as RoomSketcher or Home Designer 3D.

When you’re done your basement will look great!

When you’re done your basement will look great! You will have a clean, organized and functional basement. You will have a space you can use for a variety of activities. From yoga to work out, from relaxing with friends to watching TV. The possibilities are endless!

Now that your project is finished, it’s time to start enjoying your new space!
