| 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? | Q1: Cute tops in my size, sterling silver, handbags, furniture Q3: Undergarments, shoes |
| 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. | Not exactly, but the last time I did a huge purge, I went crazy shopping and trying to serioulsy decorate my space. I truly went overboard. Bought so much on sale that I woudl eventually use, such as wonderful outdoor gardening containers, new storage bins that weren't all icky, area rugs to replace the worn out ones etc. Then I got injured and I have several huge new rugs standing up in my porch waiting to be installed after 3 years. Excuse is that I didn't have help or we didn't want to let anyone in during the pandemic. Then there was the pandemic shopping that turned into prepping, only I didn't have space for it (can you guess which Houston client this is?) |
| 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 year |
| What routines or habits have been useful to ensure that your kitchen is always clean? | Putting everything away and not leaving items on the counters. Berating family to put dirty dishes in the dishwasher instead of leaving in the sink. Being really cranky with the family when they don't follow through or leave their messes for me to clean up. |
| 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. | Gayle - as part of your services, do you ever work on purchasing or implementing more attractive storage solutions? I don't want to accumulate more clutter through buying more containers, but my storage pieces are ancient, worn and discolored - some are 20-35 years old or more. The cute solutions on some YT and TikTok accounts look appealing, but I also see that most of the time, their containers are filled with only a couple of things, instead of being well-utilized. The question is, can you help in person with more appealing decorative storage solutions once there is a reasonable amt of stuff to house? |
