If you’re considering hiring a professional closet organizer or closet organizing service, you may be wondering if it’s worth it and what the benefits actually are.
At My Professional Organizer, our Mandeville professional organizers help clients declutter and organize all types of closets, from walk-in closets and custom closets to kids’ closets, linen closets, hallway closets, storage closets, pantry closets, laundry room closets, and more.
Ultimately, our goal is to help you create a fresh start for your closet so it looks and feels better, while making better use of the space you have.
But there are many more benefits to having your closet professionally organized.
So, we put together a helpful guide covering 10 of the top benefits of hiring a professional closet organizer and how they can help with your closet.
1. They Handle the Physical Work of Organizing Your Closet
A professional closet organizer can handle much of the physical work, including sorting, folding, hanging, color coordinating, and putting everything back in its place.
Organizing a closet involves a lot of bending, lifting, reaching, climbing step ladders, and getting up and down. A professional organizer can handle much of that physical work for you.
This can be especially helpful for anyone with physical limitations or injuries who still wants help organizing their closet.
2. They Take Care of the Mental Work, Too
Organizing a closet also involves figuring out where everything should go and how to make the best use of your space.
A professional organizer can make those decisions for you based on your belongings, your closet, and how you use it.
This can be especially helpful if you have a tricky closet layout, have more items than comfortably fit in the space, or organizing simply isn’t your strong suit.
Sometimes organizing a closet can feel like a game of Tetris, and a professional organizer can help you figure out how to make everything fit and work together.
3. They Can Help You Declutter Before Organizing
Before organizing your closet, a professional organizer can help you declutter, sort through your belongings, and decide what to keep, toss, or donate.
They can provide guidance, support, advice, and accountability throughout the process.
They also bring boxes and trash bags and help you go through every category of clothes in your closet so you can part with items you no longer need that are just taking up space.
4. They Can Help Take Your Donations
Once you’ve decided what you no longer want or need, a professional organizer can help take your donated items to a local donation center where someone else can benefit from them.
For example, in the Northshore, we may take them to Habitat for Humanity or Goodwill.
5. They Organize Your Closet Specifically for You
Your closet should be organized around you and how you actually use it. A professional organizer can create an organizing system based on your belongings, your space, and what works best for you.
For example, they can help you organize items based on what you reach for most often, what you rarely use, what you need easy access to, and more.
6. They Can Recommend Organizing Products for Your Closet
A professional organizer can recommend bins, baskets, drawer organizers, hangers, and other organizing products that work well with your particular closet and belongings.
They can also help you purchase the products you need.
7. They Can Clean Up Your Closet as They Organize
As they empty and organize your closet, they can wipe down and clean your shelves, bins, drawers, cubbies, and other areas before putting everything back, giving your closet a fresh start.
8. You Don’t Necessarily Have to Be Home
When you hire a professional closet organizer, they handle the physical work of sorting, categorizing, and organizing your closet for you. If you’re only hiring us to organize your closet, you’re welcome to be home or leave during the session. It’s completely up to you.
The main time we need you to be present is if you’d like help decluttering your closet. Since we don’t know which clothes, shoes, accessories, or other belongings you want to keep, donate, or throw away, we’ll need you there to make those decisions.
Once the decluttering portion is finished, you’re free to leave while our professional organizers handle the rest of the closet organizing process.
9. You Save Time, Energy, and Effort
Instead of spending your time sorting, decluttering, folding, organizing, and figuring out where everything should go, a professional organizer can handle much of the process, so you can focus on other important things like work, school, kids, cooking dinner for your family, etc.
10. They Can Help You Make Better Use of Your Closet Space
A professional organizer can help you make the most of the closet space you already have.
By decluttering, reorganizing your belongings, and using your available storage more effectively, they’ll help you gain space back in your closet so it feels bigger and you can fit more items.
