Hi, there! I’m just your average Type A, daughter-of-a U.S. Air Force dad, OCD, Clean Freak who wants to live in a World that’s fresh-smelling, uncluttered, and put-together. (Yeah, I know that’s not always Reality. But I can pretend, can I not?!) I, along with my helper, Jacob, do Organizing, Staging, Furniture-Building, Cleaning (especially specialty cleaning, as in “the others never get it clean enough, but we’ll make it look brand new” cleaning), and Moving /Storage Packing & Unpacking. (They’re all separate services so please let me know upfront if you need more than one.
Jacob is my eldest’s significant other and one of my fave people in the whole world. He was a pretty successful TikToker with close to 1M subscribers before getting burnt out and taking some time to reflect on what he’d like to do. He helps me because I beg— I mean, trust nobody else - sometimes I think HE’S pickier than ME! But also because I did beg him one holiday season because he gets the same satisfaction as I do from cleaning and organizing!
For cleaning: We bring our own cleaning supplies (eco-friendly when possible - Jacob loves Meyer’s and I’m always on the hunt for new stuff) but only Tilex REALLY can do the job on mold and mildew!) My vacuum is cleaned nightly - brushes, roller, and dust bin is washed. And I NEVER use dirty cloths! Those are washed with bleach after each use. If you have hardwoods, we use Bona or Murphy’s Oil Soap. With engineered wood, tile, or linoleum, we use a basic like Mr. Clean Febreeze (so fresh!). While we ARE trying to cut back, we use a lot of paper towels. They’re just cleaner. In fact, I’m pretty sure we help Costco keep their paper towels sales up.
Having studied Fashion Design and Interior Design in college (Dance, too, since I was 5, but I have yet to find a way to work THAT into this job…), I also do Home Staging /redecorating, especially when Organizing a space, using your furniture and accessories. And I’m also currently working on my Certificate for the Board of Certified Organizing Professionals. So, if I’m doing your closet, I’ll take the lead to get it organized by style (then color). We’ll also dust it while in there! (You should LOOK back behind your shoes sometime!)
Having moved several times, both of us are also MASTERS at packing, so boxes are ORGANIZED and labeled VERY well! We can bring the packing supplies (just let me know), but I do charge for what’s used. If you’ve just moved IN to a new place, we’re happy to unpack and we’ll even line your drawers and cabinets in your new place! (I still think Contact paper is better for bathrooms and under the kitchen sink, rather than that bumpy stuff, but that’s just MHO...)
For Furniture Building, I usually glance at the instructions, toss ‘em aside and dive in…only to have Jacob yell at me for starting at the wrong place (after he grabs the instructions, sets all the screws in a nice, neat line, and makes sure we have the correct tools). I think my OCD gets pushed away by my excitement sometimes, but I have Jacob to pretend he’s Boss for the day, so it all works out. 😂
SO, to sum it up, if we’re cleaning your home, it’ll be SPOTLESS! My lovely Regular Customers call it “Lucy Clean”. LOL! When we Organize for you, I’ll first get a feel for who you are - your quirks, your needs, how you use your space - before we begin. If we’re packing your stuff for a move, it’ll be done WAY better than those typical mover-guys. And if we’re putting stuff together, it’ll be done quickly and it’ll be tight! We both love what we do, and we love helping people get through or accomplish tough tasks. As a single mom of two boys - 19 and 21 (whom I’m very close to), plus Jacob - my son from another mother - I understand parenting...and organizing toys!. Personally, I tend to be…well, personal, but always professional. I never want you to feel like you’ve got random strangers in your house. I want my customers to feel like they asked their sister-in-law and nephew to come help out cuz things are crazy and BAM! We show up and then you get home (or maybe you’re working alongside us) and everything is all clean and neat and you feel like you can BREATHE and function and not spend the entire weekend working on the mundane stuff! Yet, I ALWAYS want my customers to feel comfortable TELLING me if I missed something, or asking me if I could do yada yada. My ego is zero - just TALK to me! And I never - EVER - judge! We’re all just perfectly imperfect human beings. I CARE. I offer ADVICE (on cleaning and organizing…but I’m also happy to share Beauty and Fashion tips, if you’d like), yet I also “Live And Let Live”. So you (and your home) are in good hands!
PS - And if you have fur-children, Jacob and I BOTH are already in love with them! ❤️
