Decluttering Process

The process would start with you getting in touch with us either by phone or e-mail – please see details on our contact page.

We can discuss what you are trying to achieve, and answer any questions that you may have.

Together we can select a package that will suit the type of session(s) and support that you will need.

We will agree diary dates for the session(s) to take place.

Prior to the session either by e-mail or post, we will send to you a copy of our Terms & Conditions and a service level agreement document that outlines each of our responsibilities.

Regardless of what package you have purchased, the time we spend with you will be broken down into 30 minute mini sessions. Twenty minutes of this will be spent decluttering and 10 minutes will be spent putting items away.

For each session we will have three boxes and a black bin liner. The boxes will be labelled as follows:

Put Away – this is for items, that you want to keep but have ended up in the wrong place. These are the items you will be putting away in the last 10 minutes of the session.

Storage – this is for items that you want to keep, but do not use very often. These can be placed in the attic, garage, shed, under bed storage etc.

Sell / Donate – this is for items that you no longer want, but they still have life left in them. You can sell them, either at car boot sales or online at auction sites such as Ebay. Or donate to charity shops, school sales etc.

The black bin liner is for items that are clearly rubbish. Items that have come to the end of their life, are broken or incomplete.

It would be helpful if you start to collect the boxes and bin bags prior to the session. You can often find sturdy boxes in the fruit & veg section of your local supermarket. Plastic crates with lids can also be very helpful, as they stop you or other members of the household returning to the boxes and getting items back out.

This method of decluttering works extremely well by allowing you to sort, throw away, organise and put away. It forces quick decisions from you, and keeps momentum going.

We will remove one car load of clutter at the end of the session. We can advise on storage solutions, placement of furniture, recycling, selling and disposal of items. We also provide Fact Sheets to leave with you on these areas.

Towards the end of the session you can decide if you would like to renew in order to further pursue the current area we are working on or to make positive changes in another part of the house.
