Sylvia transformed our chaotic kitchen and pantry from a health hazard into a functional, safe…read morespace for our family. When we started, we discovered bugs, mold, and expired spices dating back to 2018 - it was genuinely concerning. Sylvia didn't just organize, she helped us create a healthier environment by thoroughly cleaning and purging everything that was unsafe. What impressed me most was how thoughtfully she designed solutions for our actual needs. She created a pull-out snack center at the perfect height for my 6-year-old son to reach his own snacks independently. She sourced all the organizing supplies from accessible stores like Target and Nordstrom Rack, so the solutions were both effective and budget-friendly. Sylvia listened to how we actually use our kitchen and created systems that make sense for our daily routines. The clear container system in the pantry makes it easy to see what we have and ensures nothing gets forgotten and expires again. Everything now has a designated place that's easy to maintain. The transformation went far beyond just making things look neater - Sylvia helped us create a space that's genuinely healthier and more functional for our family. I can't recommend her highly enough for anyone wanting to reclaim their kitchen from chaos while prioritizing safety and practicality.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We had sold our 3 bedroom home and moved not a 1 bedroom cottage. Evan after a yard sale I still had so much I was holding onto. My husbands and my heath are not good so the thought and energy it would take to trim our things and organize what we have to just make life easier and simplified for us. I was hesitant to hire someone thinking they were going to make me get rid of prized possessions but after meeting with Keira and seeing how empathetic she was to how seniors feel about their belongings I went ahead and made an appointment . She came highly recommended to us and I have no regrets. Yes it's not easy to trim things down but Keira made it such a gentle process involving us along the way it was easy. I highly recommend her and guess what she also does offices. Give her a call you won't regret it

Not to be dramatic but Miss Clutter is life changing! I needed help with my living space because it…read morewas cluttered with toys and books and no matter how hard we tried we couldn't keep it organized (we have a 3 and 5 year old) We tried to organize ourselves but it didn't work so I was curious when I discovered Miss Clutter because in my mind I was thinking "what can they do differently" And they exceeded my expectations and it's like they are magic! The first step was Danielle came to our home for the initial assessment which was helpful and so worth the additional cost because she helped us brainstorm so we could get ready for they came for the actual declutter and organization. She just has the eye for where things can go and how to reuse what you have to make it work. She says she's not an interior designer but she does appreciate "eye candy" so to me that's all I want. After meeting with her I knew we wanted to use her and her company to help! Also side note- Danielle is just the sweetest person and when I met her I just felt like she was an old friend that I hadn't seen in a long time, you'll love her! The second step was she gave us a wishlist and we ordered things so it would be here and ready! Danielle was awesome with giving different suggestions for bins ect so that it would match the aesthetic needs I was looking for. She also brought things from the container store on the actual day of the decluttering. The third step was the actual process of cluttering and organizing ! We had Fernanda and Klara come and they were nothing short of spectacular! They were so friendly and kind and loved my kids and dog! They are both hard workers and I know we'll use miss clutter again in the future and I want both of them to come to my home! They were efficient and so organized and had great ideas for items I didn't quite have places for. After the whole process was completed my kids have been able to put things back where they are supposed to go and my living room is not a mess anymore and it honestly feels like a miracle! I can't thank Miss clutter and the whole team enough! I will be using them again in the future and if my husband gifted me miss clutter for a birthday-anniversary I would be thrilled because an organized house = organized mind set = happy wife = happy life

UPDATE: Literally as I posted this review, I got a call from Danielle. She offered me a discount…read morefor the disappointment or her time and expertise for the systems I need in place. I am floored by her customer service and true desire to deliver for her clients. I stand by my experience, but stand by even more by Danielle's desire to deliver to her clients. *** Miss Clutter sends hard-working people to your home to organize things. I was a bit disappointed by the experience, because what I truly needed were systems put in place better than what I already had in place. The lead organizer did suggest a wonderful fix for an issue I had, so I appreciated and was grateful for her thoughts on the kids' art corner. Really grateful fix with furniture I already had in the home. Wonderful win! But I didn't get any other suggestions or any issue-spotting from the lead, nor suggestions on how to improve flow in the home. I suppose my own experience with other declutter businesses--like House of Love with Colleen Collins--outshined this one because I am a tired mom who needs someone to lend their mental energy to figure things out for me: how to better organize the kids' clothes, how to create flow for my own clothes and how to create a more peaceful office. Instead, I found myself directing the helpers on what I wanted because they did not have much to add in terms of solutions or issue-spotting. Even in terms of decluttering, when I asked whether I should get rid of a particular item, the answer was "It is up to you." I know it is up to me, but o need your help. That is why I'm spending thousands of dollars on help: because I am tired and need your advice and help to declutter, and see if I have issues in my home. Danielle said she could see several issues in my home based on the videos I sent her, but I didn't really get any advice on those issues. I suppose that is why it is really helpful having Danielle's input, but she never made it. She said she was going to stop by, but was unable to. I texted her afterwards, and she sent me some entryway products, but that was the extent of her input. Another pain point was when I needed to declutter the kid bookshelf. The lead suggested I look through it and see what I wanted to get rid of. I had to ask her to remove all the books so that I could go through them one by one, then have them put them back. I know it was the end of the day, but we had at least 30 minutes and I was surprised that I had to request them to remove the items. It's hard to declutter a bookshelf when the books are stacked on the shelf. There were other examples of how I had to ask them to remove all the items so I can make decluttering choices. They did not ask whether I had other kid books/clothes/items in any part of the house, so there might have been items that missed review. As long as you come into the situation knowing that it might just be people organizing, you'll have a great experience. They make everything look beautiful and clean. I'm a mom of two kids, so the places that only saw things folded and put back will sadly last for a couple of weeks only, but if that is your aim, then you've found the right business. I hate to write a review like this, because the three people worked SO HARD and were so kind. But I felt like I was sold on one product and given another for the same expensive price tag.

We didn't have a car so it wasn't overwhelming at first, but it became a problem when we bought one to transport an older relative and associated wheelchair to health care appointments, and became critical when the company installing the battery backup for our new solar panels said they needed us to take down the shelves on one wall and pick up everything on the floor to complete the installation. Given the emotional nature of a lot of the family stuff we were snapping at each other every time we tried to DIY. Shipshape showed up and sent us to different corners to go through everything--they moved it all so the only thing we had to do was make decisions. After a couple of hours there was a giant pile of "make it go away" and a much smaller collection of things we wanted to keep. At that point we got to wander off and the team made almost everything we didn't want disappear (except for a pile set aside for a Recology Bulky Item Collection, which was picked up 2 days later), and then they cut the shelves we took down from the new battery wall to fit on a different wall, cleaned the dust off everything that remained, labeled it all, swept up the garage and back patio, and generally made the whole area livable again. It's a pleasure going down there now, plus there's plenty of room for the battery install and space on the patio for the planters we've always wanted. We're totally thrilled and relieved. This wasn't an inside the house job (we were shoving everything into the garage) but it's a relief to know we could bring them back again if things start to slip. Given the time saved and drama avoided, it was worth every cent.

Tl;dr: Nicoll is AMAZING and clearly knows what she's doing when it comes to professionally…read moreorganizing your home! Read on below if you want more details about the whole process. So...here's the thing about me. I love stuff. I love having a variety of stuff. I love having colorful pens, cute bags, books...you name it, and I probably started collecting some of it at some point. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with wanting to have and own those things. But what I did notice was that the sheer amount of that stuff was really starting to stress me out. Things didn't have a place. My closet and dresser and drawers were stuffed to the brim. I found it difficult to enjoy these fun things I owned because they were mixed in with other things I didn't enjoy or use anymore. I found that I was hanging onto so many items for years "just in case," and the case would never arrive. I'd tried for years with things like the minimalist challenge and reading self help books to try and get rid of things, but I couldn't seem to make a dent. That's where Nicoll came in. My partner helped me find Nicoll on Yelp and connected the two of us together. We had an introductory phone call where she asked me some questions, and I shared my frustrations with getting rid of things and really needing help with it. We ended up making an appointment for a week later where she showed up with her toolkit and bag of bags for donations. We did a little walk around and I shared areas of stress for me and what I wanted out of the space, which was to know where everything was and to know what I owned. After the intro assessment we dove right in. In the next few hours we: ⁃ Took EVERYTHING out of my closet and purged SO much of it. We went piece by piece and she helped ask clarifying questions (when did I last wear it? Do I like it?) and could usually pick up on if I actually liked something. I noticed patterns of how I reacted when I loved something vs when I wasn't sure or was sort of convincing myself. This is an exercise I tried doing before on my own, but when there's someone standing there, who you paid to help you, who's not attached to your stuff....let me tell you, it changes the game. I found myself deciding to donate (and sometimes sell) what must have been at least a third of my closet (clothes, hats, bags, electronics, etc). ⁃ She busted out her label maker and helped organize and label shelves in categories that made sense. Now I know where everything is! ⁃ She packed up all the items I decided to donate into bags and packed them into her car. It ended up being about 15 bags of things which was absolutely wild to me. Nicoll taking these bags out of my house was a game changer, because there have been many times I've decided to donate items that just end up sitting there in bags for months! I noticed that night going to bed that my room felt emptier, in a really good way. It felt calmer, cleaner, and like I could breathe a bit easier. Some people might read this and think that they shouldn't have to hire someone to help them organize. I know for myself that I hit a wall when it came to organizing on my own, and I needed to ask for help. I'm so glad I did, because it changed my life and my relationship with "stuff." I'm confident that Nicoll will be able to help you if you need it, and I cannot recommend her enough!

It's been 7-yrs since I bought a package + then added extra hours to fully transform my life and home, and it's still the smartest thing I ever did!

In addition to removing 12-years of my past trauma/busy clutter, I then asked him to help refresh my home decor because I was sooooo stuck & burnt-out. He listened/clarified/understood the feeling I wanted to achieve. We hit 3-stores in 3-hours, literally running to load our carts with treasures. How he fit everything into his SUV is a testament to his organizational skills! Then my visitors said, "Wow!" when they entered. I'd ask, "What does that mean?" Consistently they replied, "I didn't expect it to look THIS good!!!" Everything Steve suggested & placed in my home was a winner. Great items, colors, prices, lessons, attitude, work ethic, humor, & style. Everything Steve did is STILL perfect, but I'm now ready to donate/trash/recycle my really old holdover closeted crap and refresh the place again. I want his opinion on refreshing wall colors, moving things around, maybe adding some pieces to swap out for seasonal changes. The fact that I want to call him has already motivated me (says this new donation pile & 3 file boxes of papers emptied). More to do before I call him, must eliminate the obvious distractions first & gather decor samples as I'm on a very limited income now.
