FAQ

 

How is organizing different than housecleaning?

Plain and simple - Housecleaning is for dust and dirt and organizing is for clutter. A respectable housekeeper will not move any of your belongings -she will clean around them. In its Place will guide you in deciding what can be disposed of or donated. We will formulate a system customized for you so you can maintain it and the clutter doesn’t reoccur.

I’m embarrassed to have an organizer come into my home!

This is very common! This anxiety and embarrassment is what stops many people from contacting me for help. (could that describe you maybe?) First of all - I have been in many homes and chances are I’ve seen much worse. Our clients have clutter - that’s why they call us…we are there to help.

Second of all - when I come to your home, I don’t judge and I don’t look at it critically - I am there to tackle a challenge. I am looking for ways to make you love your home!

The #1 RULE

DON’T CLEAN FOR THE ORGANIZER!! My job is to assess where your problems are and create a solution….if you gather or stash your clutter I won’t be able to analyze the problem areas! You will be defeating your organizing efforts and not getting your money’s worth.

I don’t have much time. How can an organizer help me?

Of course you don’t have much time! You have CLUTTER!

In its Place offers flexible hours. Our goal is to clear your home of that negative, time-consuming, STUFF and make your life less stressful. Being organized empowers you and frees up time for you do the things you enjoy.

If I get organized will I never again have clutter?

Honestly - this depends on you. While In its Place will design a system centered around you and your family - YOU have to USE the system in order for it to work. If your sessions are over and you just can’t get used to something after a few months…call us…we will try something else.

Organizing is a skill that can be learned!

Still have questions?

Please contact us anytime! We look forward to hearing from you.
