Price of de-cluttering a whole house

[tloonya]

I had decided to put my foot down and de-clutter my house.
We had made an apt with my cleaning lady and she came in yesterday and my job was is to get rid of old unused crap by placing it in the bags.
And her was to clean after me. So we spent about 6 hours doing kitchen!
And its tiny. And it wasn't so bad...however all this jars with 100 y/old spices and plastic lids from non-existent containers. It was nuts!

I took out 6 trash bags today and thanks to our business dumpsters we were able to dispose.

So next is my bedroom. My cleaning lady says we are going to be done soon and I reminded her that we also have an attic and loft...

I am wondering when I will put together cost of de-cluttering of the whole under 2000 sq.feet house - you will be surprised!
And I need to count in $$ I am paying to the person who runs store instead of me, right? WOW!
And I am having the cheapest cleaning person ever!

So by Christmas I should know the price of de-cluttering of the whole house!

how much was that 6 hours of the cleaning lady?

She is asking $70 per house, she comes and she cleaning and sometimes she spends 9 to 9pm at my house.
So I had paid her $70 regardless because it was a 'gig'.

You could also have done it little by little, but if you can afford having it done with help, then you should be happy!

There is nothing like the feeling of a clean house! 

And when you finally de-clutter the house and add up the bill from the cleaning lady, don't forget the cost of all the crap that you just threw out.  I try to remind myself of that every time I want to buy some useless crap that in a few years I will be trying to get rid of it. Sometimes, I'm successful and other times, I buy the useless crap.
