The New & Improved Clean & Organize Office Service
We have spent about two years since the pandemic studying and observing the functionality of small businesses in the area, which leads us to redesign our Clean & Organize Office Service for Small Businesses from 200 Sq Ft to 2000 Sq Ft.
Some small business owners, do not have the same circumstances to hire Human Resource, Marketing, and Operations Managers to get their businesses functioning as Big businesses. There seems to be a gap between all the great services small businesses offer and the same services a big business offers.
We have uncovered the gaps . . .
There are two areas that I have noticed will set your business apart from others – big or small without a big budget. Those areas are Cleaning & Organizing I have been in offices where I know the value of the furniture and fixtures, but the office space looked cluttered and dirty.
If your business is not clean & tidy it will affect the feeling of stylish comfort and quality of business that Wow! sensation you’re trying to achieve with not only your services, but with your decor, furnishings, and design every time a customer walks through your doors.
We give small businesses big business perks!
We’ve designed the Clean & Organize Office Service to improve on 5 areas of Small Business:
GET MORE PRODUCTIVITY OUT OF YOUR STAFF
By hiring professional Cleaners & Organizers you can ensure that workplace environments (shared spaces/equipment) are properly sanitized on a regular basis. This helps stop a virus in its tracks and reduces the number of employee callouts. This alone helps the cleaning service pay for itself.
KEEP YOUR EMPLOYEES HAPPY
Improve your employees’ morale by showing them you are invested in their health & well-being. By hiring a Cleaning & Organizing service you signify to them that you are committed to clean work environments for your staff and willing to put their needs for safety above everything else.
BOOST YOUR BRAND EXPRESSION
Remember, most cleaning services focus on sanitizing surfaces, they also dispose of trash along with recycling needs, sweep, vacuum, mop, and make office spaces look as clean as possible. We provide the same services along with a company style to reflect your business’s branding. If you are looking for the big business perks for small businesses – We’re here to help.
SAVE MONEY IN THE LONG-TERM
A cleaning service can save you money by reducing the number of sick days that your employees take, but there are also long-term saving benefits – such as having to replace carpets, blinds, flooring, and fixtures sooner than expected if they aren’t cleaned. By investing in a regular cleaning & organizing service, you can maximize the life of your office’s ‘big ticket’ items.
INCREASE YOUR STORAGE CAPABILITIES
Tired of storing old office equipment, supplies, and cleaning supplies? With professional Cleaners & Organizers, you get the benefit of professional equipment, green supplies and without the headache of storing them. Along with assisting in keeping supply closets, coat closets, and office spaces organized to maximize every square footage of office space.
You and your employees deserve the Cleanest, most Organized, safest work environment possible, with the help of our Clean & Organize services, you will impress everyone who walks through your doors!

Minimalism vs. Maximalism


There has always been a push and pull between the both . . .
Minimalist design is about prioritizing the essentials. A minimalist building, object, or interior design is stripped of its core functionality.
It is realized using limited materials, neutral colors, simple forms, and avoiding excess ornamentation to achieve a pure form of elegance.
While the final expression of a minimalist design might appear effortlessly simple, as spare as a poem, and as clear as a bell, achieving this kind of powerful simplicity is anything but easy.
It takes purposeful decision-making to bring it all together.
Maximalism design is popular among younger generations, particularly millennials, who were eager to incorporate plants, mixed colors, and other accessories into their spaces.
Maximalism became a way to define an eclectic home with a chaotic array of colors, prints, objects, and textures in a single space.
Maximalism is the art of more-is-more; layered patterning, highly saturated colors, ample accessories and artwork hung “salon-style”, and a real sense of playfulness and bold gestures.
Maximalism is all about going big, or going home!
Here is a list of articles, and information about both minimalist & maximalist design:

New Year To Go Back . . .




To the basics . . . I am returning to where I started thirty-three years ago, providing my clients with Organizing & Coaching services.

We can help you find the time, when you’re surrounded by clutter, your mindset is in total chaos – that’s where we can first help. We can partner to find a starting point along with an action plan while moving you forward to your goal.
We provide a safe place for you to start letting go of your clutter.
