Anyone who knows of 6 or more people in their area who want help with clearing their clutter can have a FREE workshop place (see below for more details).
So what’s Clutter Clearing got to do with the Credit Crunch?
There are 11 ways that clearing your clutter can help you make and save money.
It will help you:
- Reduce your monthly outgoings (eliminate the need for off site storage, review and reduce your bills when you get your paperwork clutter sorted out).
- Manage your space so that you can shut off unused rooms, turn down heating and lighting and therefore reduce your bills.
- Make money out of the space you create by renting it out.
- Turn the unwanted clutter into cash for Christmas.
- Turn unwanted clutter into cash for bills, mortgages etc.
- Move on from a separation/divorce even if you have to continue sharing the same home.
- Reduce the risk of accidents and ill health that could cause time off work – trips, falls, fire (and fire spreading), dust mites, fleas, moths, depression, pain, grief, things falling on us, reduce danger for children and the elderly etc.
- Increase the value of your property by having more light in the rooms and floor space (people judge the size of homes by the amount of light they see and floor space that is visible – clearing the clutter increases both).
- Increase the speed of the sale of your home as your home stands out amongst an increasing number of properties on the market.
- Reduce the risk of being negotiated down on the value of your property as you maximise storage, space and size by clearing the clutter therefore leaving no faults that the buyer can criticise or negotiate over.
- Get a FREE workshop place. If you know 6 or more people in your area who would like to attend a workshop on Clutter Clearing, you can find a day and date that suits you all and find a local venue that costs in the region of £50 to £75 for the day and can host 7 or more people, then call me on 01295 275030 and we can book it!
The Cost of getting help with your clutter versus the need to make money out of the clutter – which is greater?

It’s why we have so much free information on the website so you can get tips, ideas and information without it costing you anything. Don’t forget the ‘FREE HELP’ tab on this website with lots of free help we can provide, such as the top tips.
