Hotel In Augusta Gives Away Free Furniture For Remodeling
Sheraton Hotel on Steven’s Creek Road in Augusta, GA is gearing up for a full remodel.
So what does that mean for the furniture… everything must go! They are currently giving away all the furniture for free! All you need is a way to get them home.
They have sofas, mattresses, chairs, tables, lamps, sinks, wall art, and more!
According to a Sheraton staff member, they are doing two floors at a time. Right now they are removing the 4th and 5th floors.
In about a month they will be moving on to the 3rd and 2nd floor. So if you weren’t able to grab anything this time around – you might just have some luck in a few weeks from now.
Below are some pictures of the furniture they are bringing out. This is only half. Staff members say more is still coming down from the current floors that they are working on.
Did you score something nice? Here are some tips on how to clean it:
- If the couch has removable covers throw it into the washing machine.
- For tables and dressers, use mild dish soap, water, and a sponge to scrub the items down.
- Natural light could also be your best friend, letting the UV rays kill off the bacteria.
There are many more cleaning tips and hacks to make your ” old hotel furniture” like brand new.
What Happens To Old Hotel Furniture?
Hotels usually update their furnishings every 6-8 years. Dressers are usually replaced every 12 or so years. There are a few things that the hotel can decide to do with their furniture.
- A liquidator could take the furniture from the hotel’s hands and buy it by the room.
- Auction off the furniture.
- Give to a charity.
- Provide a local homeless shelter with an extra bed.
- Give away the furniture for free to the community!
Things That Clutter Our Houses
Books
Definitely guilty of this one! But, for those books you aren’t planning to read again, how about donating to your local library? You can also take them to 2nd & Charles too!
Old Clothes
Clothes with holes and stains… get rid of them! And if you’re holding on to clothes that no longer fit, ask yourself if you’re really going to fit in them again? There are many places that you can donate your clothes to!
Old Cables and Cords
Guilty on this one too! Sometimes it’s a matter of… “I’m not sure what this goes to, so I should probably hold on to it.” And next thing you know, it’s a tangled mess of cords that have absolutely no use!
Food Containers
Missing lids… stained… bent… whatever it is, it’s probably time to finally toss out those old food containers!
General Trinkets and Knickknacks
Unless you’re collecting a certain line of items… those trinkets and knickknacks just tend to take up space, and require a lot of moving them around when cleaning. If there’s no real reason… maybe it’s time to toss!
Old Gadgets
Sure, you were going to use that cool gadget when you purchased it. But somehow it got shoved to the back of a drawer or closet. No need in holding on to it!
Electronic Goods
Old phones, computers, etc. They take up space… and serve absolutely no purpose. Find a way to chunk them!
DIY Stuff and Tools
You got really excited about a new project you saw on Pinterest. Then you bought all the supplies. But once you started (if you got to that point), it wasn’t nearly as exciting as you hoped. See if there’s an art class that could benefit from those supplies and say goodbye!
Kitchen Appliances
Whether it’s broken, missing a piece, or never gets used… now’s a good time to just get rid of it!
Old Toys
Maybe the kids are older now and don’t play with them… or the toys are broken – toss ’em!
