Getting the most out of a session

For many people it's a serious decision to have some outside help with decluttering.  It's normal to feel a little apprehensive before your decluttering session.  Stay calm and be re-assured that we are on your side.  We are here to help.

Here are some 'do's' and 'don'ts' on how to get the best out of your time with Cluttergone.

Do:

• Keep an open mind.  We certainly do.

• Set aside some uninterrupted time to work together - you might need to find someone to look after the children for a while, collect them from school or postpone a friend who often pops round on a Thursday.

• Think about whether you'd like us to take before and after photos.

• Let us know if you need to finish the session at a certain time.

• Be willing to maintain the systems we set up.

• Understand that if it took you a few years to get disorganised, it might take some time to fix.

• Accept that there will be some thing that will need to be thrown away!

• Be prepared to do some homework once we've gone.  The more you can do on your own the more progress you will make.

• Find your cheque book or make sure you  have enough cash!

• Put the kettle on!  Clutter clearing is thisty work! It will also help if you have something in for lunch!

• Realise that clutter clearing might just change your life. 

Don'ts:

• There is no need to be embarassed. We are here to help.

• Rush out and buy anything special. it's more than likely we'll be able to use what you have in the house already.

• Forget your sense of humour. We'll aim to keep a session light-hearted but productive!

• Please don't tidy up before we come!

• Leave it till the last minute if you have to cancel for any reason.

• Worry about confidentiality.  We're not telling anyone!
