Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do you help hoarders?
Hoarders make up 3- 5% of the population.
We help the other 95% who want to find ways to keep clutter under control.
Know that we all will have periods in our lives when clutter accumulates. Two examples are, when we’re working on a project that requires our focus or when a family member is dealing with a health issue.
