Q: What is the Clutter to Classy process?
A:
-
Step 1: CONTACT
-
Step 2: CONSULTATION (optional, done virtually or in person)
-
Step 3: CONTRACT AND PROJECT. A multi-session project will primarily involve decluttering in the first sessions and the look and function will come together in the later sessions.
​
Q: How much will this cost?
A:
Money spent in home organizing is an investment in peace of mind and the ability to more easily live your life.
​
-
One organizer is $75/hr with a 3 hour minimum per project session.
-
Two organizers are $150/hr with a 3 hour minimum per project session.
-
Travel outside of the service area is paid at the hourly rate.
-
Shopping assistance (i.e., researching and shopping for your containers online or in person) is $45/hr.
-
The client reimburses 100% for containers and labels purchased. No containers or labels will be purchased or used without approval by the client.
-
Custom vinyl labels created by Clutter to Classy are $2/label.
-
You are ABSOLUTELY WELCOME to purchase your own supplies. I do offer some basic product recommendations throughout the process.
​
NEW! As of January 2021, I offer dump and recycling runs with any items that cannot be donated and recycling overage; drive time from your home to the dump and back to the Clutter to Classy office is billed at $45/hour and all costs are to be reimbursed by the client. This service is new and completely optional.
​
Q: How do I pay you?
A: Payment for services rendered, travel, and containers used is due directly after the session.
I currently am able to accept cash, check, Venmo, or Zelle payments only.
​
Q: Do you take my donations with you?
A: Yes! I will remove one carload of items per session. My goal is to leave you with a clutter-free area and minimal-to-no homework.
​
Clutter to Classy makes an effort to fortify the community with your donations by taking them first to places like Madison Elementary School, Reeves Middle School, SafePlace (an Olympia women's shelter), the Timberland Regional Library, Concern for Animals, Habitat for Humanity, Olympia Union Gospel Mission, local food banks, and the like.
​
Q: What is your cancellation policy?
A: Free cancellation with 48 hours notice. Cancellation after that time will be assessed a $50 fee.
​
Q: Is travel included in your price?
A: My service area is most of Thurston County but I will travel! I include 1 hour of travel (calculated without traffic) per session. Anything above an hour will be charged at the hourly organizing rate.
All additional fares (ferry tickets, tolls, plane tickets, hotels, per diem, etc.) will be 100% reimbursed by the client.
​
Q: How long will my project take?
A: The actual time it takes totally depends on a number of factors:
-
How quickly you are able to make decisions.
-
How much "homework" you have done prior to/between the sessions.
-
Whether or not you have purchased containers or will have Clutter to Classy do the shopping for you.
-
Whether or not we are adding labels and what kind.
-
The area of the home we are working on.
