I’ve had an enemy for the past few weeks. If you know me, you know I don’t have many enemies. But this one just wouldn’t leave me alone. My enemy’s name? Strep Throat…who visited me not just once during the past 3-week period, but twice!
I know that strep throat is one of those things you can get pretty easily, and the more precautions you take with keeping bacteria at bay, the better chances you have of avoiding contact with this evil foe. This brings me to an organizing misconception that I’d like to address. Some people have the incorrect view that Professional Organizers are glorified cleaning people. If you’ve hired Organized Chaos, you know that the result is not only an organized space, but a cleaner space. Not all organizers clean when they organize. However, Organized Chaos makes it a point to clean while organizing because clutter hides dust, dirt, and bacteria. We refuse to allow that type of residue to remain.
We have several clients who, when they first hired us, shared that they suffered from ailments such as allergies, asthma, recurring sinus infections, etc. It is amazing how these types of illnesses are reduced once organization has entered the picture!
The goal of Organized Chaos is to make our clients lives easier and less stressful through the reduction of clutter and through the establishment of organized systems. Our true goal is to have our clients say, “my life is so much easier now!”
The moral of this blog is that, no, Professional Organizers are not glorified cleaning people. But Organized Chaos will continue to incorporate cleaning procedures in their organizing philosophy to ensure happier, healthier clients.
Here’s to your health!
