Are you feeling overwhelmed by the clutter in your home? Or maybe you’re tired of constantly losing things, feeling stressed by mess, or struggling to find the time to tackle the piles of “stuff” that seem to grow on their own.
Busy mums, working families, and those managing unique challenges like hoarding disorders or disabilities often find clutter a constant, exhausting battle.
Thankfully, you don’t have to face it alone. “Clutter busters,” a professional decluttering service by Little Home Organised, can help you restore order, save time, and bring peace back into your space—and your life.
Step 1: Acknowledge the Impact of Clutter on Your Life
The first step to a clutter-free life is understanding just how deeply clutter affects you. Research has shown that clutter can increase stress, lower productivity, and even impact mental health.1
For busy individuals and families, clutter creates extra steps and stress in daily routines. And for those managing hoarding tendencies, disabilities, or life transitions, it can become a serious obstacle to living well.
Suppose you’re a working parent. It’s a busy weekday morning, and you’re trying to get your kids ready for school. But the kitchen counter is piled with yesterday’s dishes, your child’s school bag is buried somewhere under laundry on the couch, and you can’t find your keys.
These moments of frustration add up, making each day feel just a bit harder than it needs to be. Decluttering professionals, or “clutter busters,” can help you take back control of your home, eliminate stress, and create a streamlined space that supports your life rather than complicates it.
Step 2: Know What Decluttering Services Can Do for You
Professional decluttering services provide more than just a quick tidy-up. They offer customised, comprehensive solutions designed for your unique needs and space. So, whether you’re facing a packed garage, cluttered kitchen, overflowing wardrobes, or disorganised paperwork, these clutter busters bring their expertise to create lasting order.
Decluttering services often include:
- Hands-On Assistance – Organisers work alongside you to sort, declutter, and reorganise your space.
- Customised Solutions – Each space and family is unique, so they develop personalised plans based on your needs, lifestyle, and preferences.
- Emotional Support – Parting with certain items can be emotionally challenging. Experienced decluttering professionals understand this and provide compassionate guidance throughout the process.
- Efficiency & Expertise – Professional organisers use proven strategies to streamline the decluttering process, helping you see results quickly and efficiently.
One of the biggest benefits of using a decluttering service is the ability to tackle larger, more overwhelming projects that might otherwise feel insurmountable. With a clutter buster package you can clear up space and reclaim your home, room by room.
Step 3: Find the Right Clutter Busters Package for Your Needs
Decluttering services like Little Home Organised offer various packages to match different levels of need. Their Clutter Busters Package is perfect for those looking for rapid change. Two organisers work with you across consecutive days, focusing on multiple rooms for an immediate, noticeable transformation.
This approach not only gives you a fresh start but also equips you with tools and systems to maintain order.
Another powerful option is their Consultation Service, where you receive a detailed HOS (Home Organising Solutions) report. This assessment evaluates your space, pinpoints problem areas, and provides you with personalised suggestions. It’s particularly useful for people managing disabilities or hoarding tendencies who may need a structured approach to get organised.
Step 4: Engage the Whole Family (Yes, It’s Possible!)
While professional organisers do the heavy lifting, you’ll still want to engage your household to create a lasting impact. When everyone’s involved, your decluttered home can become easier to maintain. Here are some ways to engage family members in the process:
- Set Clear Zones and Ownership – Give each family member a designated area that they are responsible for keeping organised. Start with simple spaces like a coat rack or a toy basket.
- Create Fun Decluttering Challenges – Turn decluttering into a game by setting a timer or creating rewards for tidying up quickly.
- Explain the Why – Share the benefits of a clutter-free home with everyone. Kids, for example, might be more willing to keep their rooms clean when they understand that it means finding their favourite toys easily.
For busy families and those with young children, keeping things organised might seem like a full-time job, but the right systems (like labelled bins, easy-to-reach hooks, and designated “drop zones”) make it easy for everyone to contribute.
Step 5: Learn Practical Skills Through Workshops and Sessions
Another way to build lasting clutter-busting habits is through workshops and practical sessions. These events focus on practical tips for organising life’s messier areas, like wardrobes, garages, and kitchens.
For example, Little Home Organised’s workshops cover specific topics like Getting Organised with Kids, Pets, and Time Management for Busy Mums, offering actionable strategies to make daily routines easier.
One workshop to note is Busy Is Not Better—this session is designed to shift your mindset around time and productivity. You’ll learn how to prioritise tasks and make time for what truly matters, all while reducing unnecessary stress and overwhelm.
If you’re constantly on the go, this workshop might just be the game-changer you need!
Step 6: See the Transformation as a Fresh Start
After a major decluttering project, clients often describe a new sense of freedom and a lighter mental load. By keeping only what you love, need, and use, you create a home that feels open, functional, and peaceful.
And the benefits go beyond physical space. Many people find that a decluttered home leads to:
- Improved Mental Health – A clean space reduces stress, boosts mood, and can even lead to better sleep.
- Enhanced Family Relationships – With clear zones, systems, and responsibilities, family members can share the mental load, leading to fewer arguments and more time together.
- Better Time Management – Decluttering removes time-wasters like searching for lost items or stepping over obstacles, making daily routines smoother and faster.
One client, Mandy, shares her story: “I know it seems crazy, but I feel like I have a new lease on life. I would recommend Little Home Organised to anybody who feels a bit overwhelmed, even if you think you don’t need the help. You will feel so much better afterwards – a definite investment in your sanity!”
Step 7: Sustain Your Clutter-Free Space
The final step is maintaining your hard-earned order. Clutter busters provide you with practical tools to sustain an organised home. For instance, their 5 R’s of Minimalism—Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repurpose, and Recycle—helps prevent new clutter from creeping back in.
Additionally, setting up “maintenance sessions” every few weeks can keep everything in check without requiring a big time commitment.
One simple trick is creating a “one in, one out” rule: whenever you buy a new item, donate or recycle one you no longer need. This rule keeps your home balanced and prevents clutter from accumulating.
In Summary
Clutter can feel like an endless, overwhelming problem, but decluttering services provide real, lasting solutions. By working with clutter busters, you can experience a true transformation, reclaim your time, and create a home that’s more than just a place to live—it’s a space you love.
So, if you’re ready to take control of your home and bring more calm into your life, consider reaching out to a professional organiser. With the right help and a clear plan, your clutter-free home awaits!
