Getting Rid of Chametz

Print
E-mail

Search and Destroy
Any area where one can reasonably suspect that chametz might have been brought throughout the year must be thoroughly cleaned. This includes the home, office, cars, garage, etc. Check carefully to ensure that no crumb is left behind: check and clean desks, drawers, closets, clothing pockets (especially the children’s), pocketbooks, briefcases and attache cases, beds, dining and living room furniture, bookcases, etc.

If You Can’t Destroy it, Sell It
Chametz that you don’t want to destroy, and utensils used throughout the year (and not koshered for Passover), should be stored in closets or rooms which will be sealed for the duration of Passover. The chametz should be sold to a non-Jew through a rabbi. Click here to sell your chametz online.

RE: Selling utensils used throughout year?
While there are indeed those who immerse any vessels sold to a non-Jew over Passover, many--including Chabad--do not do follow this practice.

Selling utensils used throughout year?
I heard that you have to toivel any dishes that have been included in the sale of chometz, or stored in such a room with chometz. Is this correct?
