attic cleaning

Upstairs storage purge

Attic cleaning is the process of clearing out, organizing, and tidying an attic space.

The task typically involves removing accumulated clutter, discarding unwanted items, and dealing with dust and debris that gather in rarely visited storage areas: We found my grandmother's wedding dress during the attic cleaning.

The phrase sometimes appears figuratively for mental or emotional housekeeping—sorting through old memories or unresolved issues.
