The closet cleanse generally takes 2 – 4 hours, although I have had a closet cleanse that lasted as little as 20 minutes and as long as multiple, lengthy appointments (10+ hours). It all depends on how much clothing you have. Yes, you will be trying on most things.
You don’t need to do anything before the closet cleanse. I can show up and do my job no matter what situation your closet and wardrobe are in. But if you want to enhance efficiency, here are a few things you can do:
- Have all your clothing available. This means make sure you have all your clothing back from the Dry Cleaner and your hamper for dirty clothes isn’t full of garments we would want to work with during our session.
- Have all your clothing, shoes, and accessories in one room. Again, this is not a big deal, but it does make the closet cleaning more efficient.
- Having your wardrobe somewhat organized is always helpful, but again, not necessary.
- We often dip into the far reaches of your wardrobe where dust lies. Any sort of dusting before we dive in there can be nice for us
- Have 4 bins or boxes ready which is: to keep, donate, sell, and to alter.
- Feel free to do a cleanse without me. Identify unusually old, seriously outsized and unneeded items before I come over to get those easy to purge items out of the way.
