Hiring a professional organizer is different from organizing on your own.

While organizing on your own is possible, a professional organizer brings expertise, efficiency, and an objective perspective. They help streamline decision-making, suggest customized solutions, and provide accountability to keep you on track. Additionally, they save you time and energy by creating long-term systems that prevent clutter from returning.

What types of spaces do you organize?

We can organize any residential (home) or commercial (office) spaces. Some examples include bedrooms, kitchens, garages, playrooms, home offices, closets, and more. We also assist with move-in/move-out organization, downsizing (not related to Estates), and specialized organizing needs such as paperwork, digital files, or sentimental items.

How long does an organizing session typically take?

We require a minimum of three labor hours per session. This can be structured as one organizer for three hours or two organizers for 1.5 hours each, depending on your needs. Every project is unique, and if you're unsure how much time will be needed for your space, we’re happy to help you estimate. Give us a call at 425-789-6871, and we’ll guide you through the best options!

Can I be involved in the organizing process?

Of course! We tailor our approach based on your comfort level. Some clients prefer to be hands-on, making decisions with our team every step of the way, while others trust us to handle the organizing from start to finish. Before we begin, we’ll discuss how involved you’d like to be so that the process feels right for you.

Do you offer virtual organizing services?

Yes! We offer virtual organizing services for clients outside our service area or those who prefer remote assistance. One example: If we’ve helped with move-out organizing, you can also hire us for virtual move-in support, where we guide you in setting up an organized and functional space in your new home. By assessing your space remotely and understanding your needs, we’ll create a customized plan to help you achieve your ideal setup.

Do you provide a written organizing plan before starting?

We offer an estimate and basic organization plan for $150. This includes a 30-45 minute walkthrough of the space and the creation of a tailored plan. Clients can then choose to hire us to implement the plan or use it to organize on their own. This plan is not intended for use by another organizing company. However, if you prefer to work within a set budget rather than a predefined plan, we offer hourly services where we complete as much as possible within your budget.

How much do your organizing services cost?

Our pricing depends on several factors, including:

● The current level of organization in the space

● The number of small vs. large items

● The amount of decluttering or item removal needed

● Long-term storage needs

● The number of spaces being consolidated

● Whether storage solutions (bins, shelving, etc.) need to be purchased

For a more accurate estimate, we recommend scheduling a walkthrough assess your specific needs.

Do I need to buy storage containers before the session?

If you are working with us to organize your space, we recommend using the current storage items you have, before purchasing new storage containers or shelving. We will give you specialized recommendations on the types of storage you should have in your space, and you can always have us shop for you.

Will I need to get rid of a lot of my things?

Every client’s needs are different, and our goal is not to make you get rid of everything but rather to create a space that feels functional, comfortable, and aligned with your vision. If a space feels too cluttered, we may recommend decluttering or donating items, but the final decision is always yours. Our approach focuses on finding proper storage solutions for the items you choose to keep, ensuring they have a designated place. If you do wish to downsize significantly, we will incorporate that into your personalized organizing plan.

How do you help clients decide what to keep and what to let go of?

We approach organizing with compassion, empathy, and understanding. If a space feels overwhelming, we may suggest decluttering or downsizing, but we never make decisions for our clients. Our role is to guide and support—not pressure. We recognize that organizing can sometimes be an emotional process, and we strive to make it as comfortable and stress-free as possible. For clients seeking the biggest transformation, decluttering is key, as keeping everything in the space may allow clutter to build up again over time.

Do you handle donations or recommend donation centers?

Yes! For an additional fee, Absolutely Clean N Organized can handle donation drop-offs and item disposal. We always confirm with the client before removing anything from the home, ensuring that only approved items are donated or discarded. If you have a preferred donation center, we’ll prioritize that location. If they cannot accept all items or have specific drop-off days, we will recommend alternative donation centers. Absolutely Clean N Organized does not profit from donated items—all tax-deductible donation receipts go directly to the client.

Do you work with hoarders or extreme clutter situations?

Many people wonder if they fall into the category of hoarding, but true hoarding is a clinically recognized disorder that requires mental health professionals alongside organizing support. We are not equipped to work with hoarding disorder cases.

However, if your space has become overwhelming due to life transitions—such as inheriting a loved one's belongings, accumulating items over time, or struggling to maintain order—we can absolutely help. While we do not handle estate sales, we do assist with sorting, organizing, and long-term storage solutions for inherited or sentimental items, as long as you are open to donating or discarding items as part of the process.

Do you sign confidentiality agreements for sensitive spaces?

Yes! We respect our clients’ privacy and understand that organizing often involves personal or sensitive items. If you require a confidentiality agreement, we are happy to provide one upon request. We do not share or discuss client information, and our focus is always on creating a judgment-free, secure, and comfortable organizing experience.

What areas do you serve?

We provide in-person organizing services in Snohomish County, King County, and Skagit County, WA. We also serve parts of Pierce County, depending on availability. For clients outside our service area, we offer virtual organizing sessions, where we guide you remotely through the organizing process.

What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

If you need to reschedule your appointment, there will be no charge. Please provide at least 48 hours in advance, for notice of rescheduling.

We understand that plans may change and you may need to cancel your appointment. To account for the time spent preparing for your appointment, we will charge a $75 fee for the inconvenience of cancellations.
