DeClutter Your Home – By Sheila Wilkinson

Organizing a house full or even a room full of clutter can be a daunting task. Without a simple and foolproof system as a guide, its nearly impossible to make any headway. This Six Box Toss should prove to be the last system you’ll ever need.

Step 1

Label your boxes in this manner: 1.Donate 2.Sell 3.Return 4.Repair 5.Keep 6. Unsure. The last container you’ll need is your garbage can. Line the boxes and trash can somewhere where they’re all accessible.

Step 2

Use the donate box for toys going to your niece, clothes going to a thrift store or books going to the senior center. It’s sometimes easier to part with things if you know that they’re going to be used and enjoyed somewhere else.

Step 3

Put things in the ‘Sell’ box if you are prone to sell only. This is for garage sale items, things to go to a consignment shop or an online auction site. This is just another box of clutter if you don’t actually use it for sale. Mark this box with a date three months ahead and if these items aren’t sold, they need to go to a good charity instead.

Step 4

Use the ‘Return’ box for borrowed items, library books, or items that belong to neighbors, friends and family. If you have bought things that need to be returned, toss those in here, too.

Step 5

Put items in the ‘Repair’ box only if you absolutely know they’ll be repaired. Keeping things that may have some use in them is a trap for clutterbugs so the rule of thumb is this: If something just needs a little ‘fixing’ to be good as new for someone but that someone is not you, the item needs to be thrown or given away. If you’ve already replaced something, get rid of the old one. If you know of no one or no way to repair something, get rid of that, too.

Step 6

Put things in the ‘Keep’ box only if you are sure that the item is really of use or value to you. Otherwise, it goes out.
Use the ‘Unsure’ box as a last resort. If something seems to defy all the other boxes and you don’t want to let it go without thought, put it in here. Mark the box with a date six months away. If you haven’t used the item in six months, toss it or give it away.

Step 7

Use your garbage can for everything you don’t really need or want. This should be the first place you consider with every single item that you pick up.

It’s not CLEAN until it’s PRISTINE!

Hello Bloggers!

This is your neighborhood SassySweeper, blogging tonight about the busy week and day we had.

This week SassySweeper reached three major milestones.

First, we finally launched our website. However, the site is still under development, but feel free to visit us at: www.SassySweeper.com.

Second, we finalized our deal with Ford for the transit vans and you’ll soon the SassySweeper ride cruising throughout neighborhoods in Illinois and Indiana… if you see the van somewhere else, please let us know!

The third milestone reached was serving a customer on our 3 room promotional special!

I want to share with you an experience on the 3-room special. At $20 per room, with a minimum of three rooms, it took two SassySweepers 2.5 hours to clean a studio apartment that was FILTHY. When I say FILTHY, I mean FILTHY. From mold and mildew to rodent infestation. Was that filthy or was that FILTHY? It was FILTHY. Nevertheless, the Sassy girl’s transformed this FILTHY living space, into a clean safe living environment. Sassy said, “it wasn’t clean until it was pristine!” The owner of this studio apartment said, “WOW! I didn’t think it could be done.!”

The SassySweeper team share a single commonality. “We hate filth.”

Our mission is provide affordable cleaning services for all families living in Illinois and Indiana. We here to service you.

How Much Is YOUR Time Worth?

I read an article this morning about time management. I was inspired to blog about it, because I felt it provided a great segway for introducing you to the services that SassySweeper offers.

“How much is YOUR time worth?” Have you ever calculated the value of each hour in dollars, relaxation or the opportunity to be with your family? Try it! You’ll be amazed at the results. Like me, you’ll realize that every minute of your time is worth something. So make every minute count. Let me, the SassySweeper, tell you how.

What you could do if you had more time? Go back to school. Spend quality time with your family. Take a vacation.

How important are these activities to you and what are they worth?

If you decide that going back to school or spending more time with your family or taking a vacation is worth more than whatever other task you had planned (cleaning house and running errands), you may determine that it is feasible to spend money on something like hiring a housekeeper or personal assistant, to free up your time.

When you consider the possibilities, you might realize there are a variety of tasks in your life that you could outsource in order to save time and, eventually, money. Yard work, snow shoveling, housework, figuring taxes, and miscellaneous errands are all tasks that can be done by a hired assistant… like me! That is why you should call SassySweeper at: 888.21.SASSY Or visit us on the web at: www.sassysweeper.com.

Outsourcing no matter what the task is a great way to free up valuable time, so you can have time to do the things that are important to you.

Make it a great day… and don’t forget to call or visit SassySweeper today to schedule a cleaning for tomorrow!

I Hate Dirt!

I hate dirt, dust and grim. So, I launched a new business that I named “SassySweeper.” SassySweeper is a professional services cleaning company that specializes in the removal and disposal of dirt, dust, grim and filth, throughout Northern Illinois and Northwest Indiana. I am officially open for business and let me tell you, my first day on the job was not an easy undertaking. Thus, I have made it a goal to blog about my experience as a professional services “housekeeper,” “maid,” “domestic socialite,” “household manager,” “personal porter,” and “au pair,” for the next 365 days.

In the meantime, I am looking for folks to join my team that also “hate dirt.” If you hate dirt, are unemployed and looking to subsidize your income, please send your resume to: careers@sassysweeper.com.

Stay Tuned…
