How I did it: I had family over and they were messing around it there and started to clean it while I was laying my kids down.  I have a tiny shed so the four of them had a big chunk done when I caught them.  It was so cluttered I was almost embarrassed, but I did tell them it was full.  They cleaned it to stick more in there!  My advice:  Get to it before someone else does!!

Lessons & tips: Had I done it entirely myself: I would have taken everything out first.  Then I would have put things back and organizing as I went.  Then I would have gotten rid of what shouldn't have been in there in the first place.  We did not do it this way... thats why it took ALL day.  BUT!  I was thankful for the help, I would advise having some helping hands, no matter how small the shed is, it is always harder than you thought it would be.

Resources: Family, recycled plastic bags, biodegradeable orange multi-purpose spray, shop towels.

I used recycled/biodegradeable because I always do, and I esp. feel bad when throwing out a lot of junk at the same time.  Also, the whole thing smells like oranges!  :D
