You could pick up the pieces of furniture that you want and put them in a rented storage unit. Then the place iS ready for outsiders to clean out.
It all depends on how much labor each one of you want to spend on it. I think it’s a perfectly valid decision to not spend any labor at all. I think it’s a perfectly valid decision to spend labor on it to get maximum money out of the estate. Both of those decisions are valid and reasonable.
