A Step-by-Step Guide to Your Home’s Transformation
Note: This guide is written for our wonderful clients who have already booked their Tidyish session so they know exactly what to expect.
If you’re not booked (yet) but stumbled across this post — welcome! Feel free to snoop. You’ll get a great inside look at how we work, and maybe even start picturing what we could do in your home. 🦋
Before We Arrive 🦋
- No pre-cleaning needed — We want to see your space as it is so we can design systems that truly fit your life.
- Product prep — We’ll bring more products than we expect to use, so we can fine-tune as we go and make sure the fit is perfect.
- Pets & kids — We love them, but please make arrangements so they’re safe and not underfoot while we’re working.
- Mice/Bugs — If you’re aware of any issues, let us know in advance so we can arrive prepared with the proper protocol.
- Any questions? Just reach out — we’re happy to help you feel ready.
On Project Day
Our sessions typically run 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM unless otherwise noted. We do our best to wrap by 1:00, though we may finish slightly earlier or later.
Here’s our high-level process:
- Clear & Sort — Everything comes out so we can see it all.
- Group Similar Items — We focus on natural categories, not decisions yet.
- Decision Blitz with You — About 1–2 hours into the session, we’ll bring you in for focused decisions: keep, toss, donate, or relocate. We’ll also talk about how you actually use these items so the setup makes sense for daily life.
- Zones & Product Implementation — We set up functional zones and install organizing products to make your space work better than ever.
💡 Your role: You don’t need to be “on” the whole session. This is your time to rest, work, or do something you enjoy. We’ll bring you in when your input is needed, then you can step away while we keep the transformation moving.
Adjustments Along the Way
- Extra hours — Your package includes a set number of hours. If we see the scope expanding, we’ll let you know right away. Any extra hours will be billed at the end of the project.
- Product budget — We’ll track products as we use them and aim to stay within the agreed range.
Finishing Touches
- We’ll walk you through your new systems so you (and anyone else in your home) know exactly where things belong.
- We’ll take donations that fit in our cars and handle returns for unused products.
- You’ll receive a final invoice for any additional hours and the organizing products staying in your home.
The Still Tidy Guarantee 🦋
We don’t just organize for the “after” photo — we design systems that last.
Our Still Tidy Guarantee means your space will be functional, intuitive, and easy to maintain long after we leave. Because you deserve peace of mind, not another to-do list.
You’ll get an email from us 2–3 months after your project is complete. That’s your opportunity to request tweaks or get our advice (or hands-on help) to make sure your space stays tidy.
