Frequently asked questions
Why is decluttering so difficult?
There are several reasons why it can be difficult –
feeling overwhelmed with what the task involves
scared of clearing out sentimental items
too busy and stressed with work
Perhaps you don’t have the time to stay on top of managing your space and time so things get out of hand.
Is decluttering the same as cleaning?
No. Decluttering is helping to remove unwanted items, finding places for the items you do wish to keep and to bring order and peace into your home.
Cleaning is making your home clean and free from dirt and dust.
Why hire a professional organiser?
Sometimes clutter can be overwhelming. We help you make a plan and work alongside you to clear the overwhelm.
Do you do cleaning as well?
We do light cleaning such as dusting down shelves once we’ve removed items and decluttered the area. We don’t do any heavy lifting or deep cleaning.
Where do we start with decluttering?
It all begins with a Free 20 min discovery call where we’ll discuss what you would like to achieve to create a plan to achieve those goals.
What is the process for a virtual session?
Through one of your preferred platforms such as Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, WhatsApp or Phone, you can take us on a tour of your problem areas so we can create a plan and help you achieve your decluttering goals.
What is the process for a decluttering session?
Following the Discovery session, your Professional Organiser will go through the rooms and items you’d like decluttered. We’ll process what items you love and what needs to go. We also advise on storage solutions with tips to maintain a decluttered space so make you feel in control and organised again.
What is the process for a pack and organise session?
Your Professional Organiser will come to your property to help you or independently pack up each room in your house ready for relocation or storage. Additional costs apply for supplying boxes.
Will I need containers? How will we manage storage?
It is important to declutter before going out and buying containers. Once we know exactly what we are keeping, we can help you find the best storage solutions.
Can you help with styling properties for sale?
We can certainly style the property for inspections. Essentially, we take the stress out of selling and moving homes. We declutter and free up space so the property feels much more spacious and welcoming which adds appeal for potential buyers and value to the selling price. We help you pack and move – without the stress.
Can you help with deceased estates?
This is a difficult time – and we are here for you. We compassionately work with families and executors of the estate to declutter and organise deceased properties to make this experience as stress-free as possible. We offer a courteous, neutral, respectful and efficient house clearance service to help you and your family during the bereavement period.

Do you use the Marie Kondo method?
Yes, we love the KonMari method.
The KonMari method is about helping to declutter on a number of levels, starting with focusing on the goal of the ideal lifestyle and finding the joy in the process. The Marie Kondo method is not a quick fix for a messy room and starts with a commitment to tidying up. As a process, it can take up to 6 months and must become a part of your lifestyle. While we can help you declutter effectively across a few sessions, we can also create a 6 month plan of sessions to see you achieve your ideal uncluttered lifestyle.
How many professional organisers will come to my house?
This depends on how much work there is and how quickly you need the task finished: after all, many hands make light work.

Each person and home is different. We will be able to get into more detail after our Discovery session.
How can you guarantee confidentiality?
We also offer a completely private and confidential service. We comply with the NAPO (National Organisation of Productivity and Organising Professionals) code of ethics which guarantees privacy and confidentiality throughout the process. I will never discuss my work with anyone without your consent and authorisation. Occasionally, I may ask if I can take before and after photographs but this is entirely your choice. Besides, as a former registered Nurse, trust me when I say I’ve seen everything. I find joy in bringing order to your space. By nurturing, supporting and guiding you, we’ll bring calm and control into your life – happiness injection guaranteed.
