How it works
What actually happens during the decluttering and organising process?A session is usually between three and six hours, and at the pace that is the most comfortable for you. We'll take regular breaks during a session for a cuppa and at lunchtime to re-fuel! |  |
Stage 1 – Consultation and planning
 | The first thing to do is to identify the place or places in your home or office that causes you and your family the most frustration. Then we'll discuss what you hope to achieve - for example, setting up a filing system for your paperwork. We can then work out a plan and estimate how long we will need. |
The majority of the time decluttering is spent working together, hands-on, tackling the minute-to-minute decisions of sorting through the jumble of treasure and junk, deciding what stays and what to discard.
Most people, once we get started, find they are motivated to let go of things they have held on to in the past. This phase of the process can take our entire session, more than one session, or only part of the session, depending on the space in which we are working.
 | We encourage recycling, as far as possible - items can be donated to charity shops, friends and family or you may be able to sell them at car boot sales, through local newspapers, or on the internet. |
Stage 3 - Organise the things you want to keep
Once we've weeded out the clutter, it's time to organise what's left.
We look at the best way to use your space. We rearrange furniture and materials to make a space that is helpful to you and a pleasure to be in. Sometimes the purchase of a single item, for example a fridge freezer, instead of two separate fridges and a freezer, or disposing of a large piece of furniture such as an unused bed will free up a lot of space.
Together we will made decisions on what storage is needed. Often people find that they do not require any further storage, just to use the storage they have in a different way. Next, we can begin the task of organising and developing systems – labelling and properly storing items. There no typical way to do this. There is no right or wrong, it’s right if it works for you. |  |
Our belief is that that it is important to keep the sentimental things you love on display, not hidden tucked away in cupboards.
It can be hard work, but you only need to do this heavy duty hard work ONCE, as we are creating maintainable systems that will prevent clutter from creeping back in the future.
Stage 4 – Keep the clutter at bay
At the end of each session we look at what's been achieved so far and the best way to continue tackling the clutter.
When we have completed our session(s), we will follow-up with you after a fortnight, by telephone or email, to see how you are getting on. Our aim to to create simple, workable organised systems so the clutter doesn't return. Don’t worry, Cluttergone is here to help you.
