Question 6

Do I need to purchase organizing products before hiring your services?

Accepted Answer

We do not expect you to purchase anything beforehand. In some cases, we may suggest items for you to buy or we can do the shopping for you.

This list would include items unique to your space that we think would benefit you most, and we’ll detail how and where to use them.

Question 7

Do I need to clean up my space before you come?

Accepted Answer

Nope! It’s actually better if you don’t clean before we come over. It’s best when we get to see your space in its truest form. That way we can suggest the best solutions for you and spot areas that may need more attention.

Question 8

Should I get started before you come if I feel motivated?

It is better to just do one big overhaul when we come instead of having to go through items twice. We ask about every, single, item regardless of if it's been recently gone through its part of our process.

Question 18

How do you handle sensitive or personal items during the organizing process?

Accepted Answer

All items donated or rooms organized are kept confidential. We are here to support you and your privacy is always a top concern. We respect privacy and will be considerate of off-limits areas.

For sensitive papers we suggest ways to remove your name and information. We can also set you up with a shredding company if you have large amounts of paper to be disposed of.

Question 19

Do I have to be there for the session, or can I work or leave and run errands for a bit?

Accepted Answer

We are completely fine if you leave, and we can make piles and ask questions via photos and text if you’re not there. This can be an overwhelming process and some people like to leave.

Question 20

Can my kids be home?

Accepted Answer

We love working with children and teaching independence at an early age. Sometimes we can include kids in the process, or we can work around them. It’s common for us to work around pets, kids, spouses, you name it!

Question 21

Will I be involved in the decision-making process during the organizing?

Accepted Answer

It all depends on the project size and your preferences. You can be as involved or uninvolved as you’d like. With bigger projects that have a large amount of decluttering that’s needed, we suggest working with us for at least part of the session to go over some “yes or no” questions.

If you are unable to be there with us, we make suggested keep, donate, or throw piles for you to look at later on when it’s convenient for you.
