Survey #243—Full Response from Jeanne
| Pronouns | Y’all |

| If you shop in thrift stores, resale shops, charity stores, pawn shops, or other sources of second-hand goods, what kinds of things do you look for? Are there any categories of items that you would ONLY buy used? Any categories of items that you would NEVER buy used? | I no longer shop in these stores, I am limited to where I can go. Hubs and I once sold vintage for many years Both our parents were antique dealers and we were forced to clear their sizable estates. The past year has kept me burdened with clearing my hubs estate. I hope to finalize all by the end of summer. I am a daily declutterer , and am happy to gift and donate. |
| If you’ve ever completed a major decluttering project, have you experienced re-cluttering anxiety afterwards? Please describe your experience and how you’ve tried to manage this feeling. | Both our parents came to be hoarders in their later years. I prefer to keep my home minimal , clean, and well organized. Such an environment would give me extreme anxiety. |
| How often do you deep-clean your kitchen, going above and beyond whatever daily or several-time-a-week routines you maintain? | At least once a month |
| What routines or habits have been useful to ensure that your kitchen is always clean? | Daily cleans ups as needed, Weekly floors and fridge, then the Fly Lady list the second week of each month. I do the entire list for each cleaning zone. I keep a minimum of items in good order and condition. My kitchen nook is very little, efficient, and pleasant to work in. |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | Although always a clean minimal organizer that has helped many others, I have a deep anxiety that I will turn into my mother in advanced age. |
