Frequently

Asked Questions 

We understand it can feel overwhelming to invite organisers into your home.

These answers are here to make things easier.

I feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. Can you help?

Yes. Most clients feel exactly like this when they contact us.

You don’t need a plan or a clear vision. We help you work out what matters, what can go, and where to begin so things finally move forward.

 

 

Do I need to work alongside you?

No.

We do the physical decluttering and organising.

We do need you available at points during the session to help with decisions about what stays and what goes.

​

The best results happen when you’re involved at key points throughout the session, without needing to do the hands-on work.

 

 

Do I need to tidy or organise before you come?

No.

Please don’t pre tidy or organise.

We work best when we see your home exactly as it is.

 

 

What if I get stuck or emotional during the process?

That’s very normal.

Decluttering involves decisions, and that can feel heavy.

We slow things down, break decisions into manageable steps, and keep things moving without pressure.

​

You’re not expected to be decisive or confident. That’s part of what we help with.

 

 

What happens to the items I no longer want?

We remove donations for you at the end of each session.

You don’t need to organise drop offs or extra trips.

 

 

Is this about a quick tidy or real, lasting change?

Real, lasting change.

We don’t just reshuffle things to make a space look better for a short time.

We declutter properly, then set up systems that suit how you actually live day to day.

The goal is a home that functions long term, not a quick fix that falls apart.

 

 

Will you judge my home?

No.

We work in real homes with real people and real overwhelm.

Mess happens. That’s why we do this work.

 

 

How does pricing work?

Sessions are priced at $89 per organiser per hour, with two organisers working together.

We’ll help you choose a sensible starting point and talk through next steps if more time is needed.

 

 

How long does it usually take to organise a whole home?

There’s no single answer because every home is different.

Most homes we work in didn’t become cluttered overnight. They’ve built up over years of life, changes, and busy seasons.

 

Whole home decluttering often takes multiple days or ongoing sessions to do properly.
For larger or more complex homes, this can mean many days of work spread over multiple sessions - sometimes 100 hours or more.
​
That’s why many clients choose multi day bookings so momentum builds and nothing is rushed or left half done.

 

 

How do I know which booking option is right for me?

If you have one specific space you want to tackle, a single session can be a good starting point.

If you know you need multiple rooms or a full home reset, multi day bookings are usually the better choice.

​

Working across consecutive days builds momentum, reduces decision fatigue, and creates far better long term results than stopping and starting.

We’re always happy to talk it through and help you choose what will actually work for your home.

​

Do you do cleaning as well?

No.
We are professional organisers, not cleaners.
Our focus is decluttering, organising, and setting up functional systems that make your home easier to manage long term.
​
We always leave spaces tidy and usable when we finish, but deep cleaning isn’t part of the service.
