I've said it before and I'll say it again; Parador, you are a hero, seriously.
Anyway, I'd suggest going to someplace like Ace Hardware, Home Depot or Walmart or wherever and picking up some cheap, cardboard storage boxes. It sounds stupid, but just load up everything you need hidden or out of the way and just dump it all in the garage until you have the time to sort through it. If you're not sure what to do with something, box it. If it needs to be hidden, box it. If it's something you know you should get rid of but don't have the heart, box it. I know it's essentially the equivalent of sweeping garbage under the rug, but it'll save you a hell of a lot of time and effort. That, and it's one less thing to worry about.
Once you're done with that, all you'll need to do is the actual cleaning part... like vacuuming or whatever.
