Hoarders

Do you watch Hoarders on TV and think “I’m not so bad”?

If you need such reassurances, perhaps you do have a problem with possessions and junk taking over your home.

It’s a slippery slope from being a pack rat or collector to what I call a Border Hoarder (not quite dead cats in the rafters or a 3 foot pile of used syringes, but living in a bad way and needing help to rein it in).

Like weight gain, it happens gradually and most people don’t see it happening to themselves till someone shines a light on the situation.

dishes/food sat for over a month as the homeowner couldn’t get across kitchen to access sink

dishes washed … sink, counters, cabinets, cleaned (nasty seafood stinking in the sink thrown away)

 

toy room gone awry … i organized and purged for almost three hours before I noticed there was a rug beneath the waist high piles

use white bureau to see that this is same toy room … broken/never used toys gone, as is anything not toys (heaps of laundry, suitcases … ) … games/puzzles/ toys with ALL their pieces in bins and on shelves

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sometimes it’s a major life event that causes a set back, and some people can’t rebound and catch up, so just let go

… perhaps illness or a death in the family had caused you to focus all your energies away from the home … could be having someone help tackling it and getting it back into shape is all you need, then you can maintain it from there

i don’t have an after photo for this, but the table and beneath it was 100% cleared out and cleaned with two chairs emptied (and two left with stored piles) … the homeowner hadn’t sat in her kitchen in over a year

PURGE & CLEAN

Allow me to help you sort through and purge your possessions

With no judgement.  We all deal with life’s downs differently, I happen to organize and clean compulsively when I’m upset or preoccupied.  Allow MY issue to help with yours!

I can organize and properly store what you want to keep, dispose of what is outright rubbish, donate what you can’t use but is in good condition, and even help sell/consign some of the higher end items

When the purging and organizing is done, I can clean the rooms
