Looking for Decluttering Help?

Sometimes your clutter may be too much and you want some professional help. The Association of Professional Declutterers and Organisers (APDO) is an organisation which can help you to find someone in your area.

APDO have organised their site so that you can search in different regions in the UK. There is a little information about each APDO member and then links to each organiser's site.

They also have a page which has a very useful list of links that can help you with decluttering. The info is a little hidden as it is contained within a link to finding help in 'other countries.'

As this type of service is very new there are no set guidelines as to how different declutterers work. There is a code of ethics which members have to agree to when they sign up, however it is quite basic.

Feeling Comfortable
The most important things to consider when choosing someone to help you with clutter is how you get on with them. Decluttering can be a very personal and emotional experience. In order to feel comfortable you need to get on with the person who is helping you. Efficiency, skill and experience all come in at a close second in my opinion.

I have heard of people feeling bullied and uncomfortable. Even though clutter clearing can be intense it should also feel liberating and renewing.

Take some time to get to know anyone that you are considering working with.
