Good to know

• A one-woman business, so she does not take last-minute full-home unpacking jobs. Source
• Hourly rates include one donation drop-off per visit and up to 60 minutes of round-trip driving time. Source
• Clients are asked not to tidy before the first visit, so she can see how the space is really used. Source
• Storage products are bought only with the client's approval, cost extra, must be paid back before they are installed, and can fit different budgets. Source
• Package payments are due in advance to hold dates, and prepaid sessions expire 6 months after the first session. Source
• Clients choose how much to take part, from deciding on each item to leaving the space to her after a consultation. Source

How a job runs

2. She learns how the household uses each space and agrees goals with the client.
3. She assesses the space and sorts items into keep, rehome or remove.
4. She decides with the client whether to buy new storage products or reuse existing ones.
5. Kept items are organized into their new places, and the client is shown how the systems work.

Questions to ask before you hire

• Do you work alongside me, or can you work while I am out?
• Do you charge by the hour or by the project, and is there a minimum?
• Do you take donations and recycling away, or is that left to me?
• Have you worked with situations like mine before, such as a move, a new baby or a parent downsizing?
