EXCELLENT Based on 41 reviews Duncan Thomson10. October, 2024.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Decluttering your life and clearing out years of accumulated stuff is most certainly overwhelming, stressful as well as emotional and exhausting. I know that many people have a fear of letting anyone else into their life to help sort out all of their treasured personal items because of the feelings of loss of control, and that you are going to be made to throw out items that you want to keep. I got in contact with Debs because I had been keeping stuff for many years. To begin with this was because I didn't have much money and so the "just in case" mantra was well and truly applied. That extended into buying things in the sales that I actually didn't like or need but could never see past a bargain. I tried a number of times to clear out my things and I did make some good progress on my own but I never felt like I had ever achieved anything worth celebrating. Debs came round, did an initial consultation and asked me what I would like to achieve, at no point did she ever tell me, she has always asked me where I want to tackle, if there are specific areas to deal with or things that will make a big difference to my life. She is absolutley lovely, she continually checks throughout the course of the session if you are ok, if you need a break, if you are feeling overwhelmed or ok. Since engaging with her, I 've notied that I am much more likely to tackle small areas on my own, something I wouldn't have done before. The progress I have made this year with her is more than I have managed in 5 years on my own. Using her services is an investment and I wish I had realised I needed her years ago. Already I feel so much happier in my space, with less cluuter and items that I didn't need or want taking up space in my house and my life! Another thing that was important to me was that a lot of the items I had were perfectly good and I didn't want them to go to landfill. Never fear, our Debs is not one for tipping items and has a network of contacts who are able to reuse and upcycle items - many of these are not direclty accessible to me directly but its quite comforting to know that the things that I no longer had a use for are now making a positive difference to someone elses life. If you've made it this far, thanks for reading all this - and I hope that where ever you are on your decluttering journey, you'll be able to let Debs assist you. She is an absolute expert in her area and you'll be in comforting hands. Duncan T Sam Stephen8. September, 2024.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Debbie helped me when I was moving out of a property. Her knowledge of organising and encouragement of ‘getting rid’ was, at first, not something I was used to ,but it certainly felt great afterwards. I have maintained a good level of organisation and always think back to the tips and tricks I learned during my session. Would definitely recommend Clean Slate UK. 5/5 UPDATE: 2024 and Debs came back and helped me sort out my office, which is full of equipment, books, tech, a random treadmill, and a few musical instruments. Again, 5/5; I wonder if she’ll move in, and just keep me on the straight and narrow 🙂🙂🙂 Lynn2. August, 2024.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Could not recommend Debbie highly enough - so efficien, lovely and a joy to work with! The difference to our home is amazing, thank you Debbie Vanessa Harpley9.

Debbie helped me regain control of our spare room in just a few hours, giving every item a place and purpose, and much easier to find! Most incredibly almost all the items that we weren’t sure if they could be recycled or given to charity, Debbie has found a new home for and saved SO many items from landfill. I can’t recommend Debbie enough for anyone needing a helping hand when it comes to organising a tricky space. I’m hoping to have Debbie back to help with my utility next! Alix Capper-Murdoch13.

I can't recommend her highly enough. I recently found myself in the difficult situation of needing to clear out my mum's house after she went into care. Unfortunately, she has always had a bit of a hoarding tendency, and the thought of tackling it all myself was overwhelming. Debbie came to the rescue, and let me tell you, she's not just amazing at decluttering and organization, she's exceptional. What truly sets Debbie apart is her kindness and compassion. This was such an emotional process for me, and Debbie understood that completely. Her caring and patient nature made the whole experience so much more comfortable. It wasn't just about clearing out a house, it felt like she was there to support me through a difficult time. Debbie has a real knack for putting you at ease and helping you make decisions. She's also incredibly helpful and resourceful, suggesting ways to recycle and upcycle where possible. Honestly, she's the best declutterer I've ever worked with, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone! Thank you, Debbie, for making a difficult situation so much easier. You're a star! 🌟⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟 Linda Morrice27. February, 2024.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Debbie recently helped us to sort out our mounds of paperwork which had started to “take over” worktops, shelves, bookcases and cupboards! She systematically took us through what needed to be digitised, what we needed to keep and what to dispose of. Paperwork was then appropriately filed into box files which are tidily stored. Debbie’s bubbly personality and brilliant sense of humour kept us happily on track and we are absolutely delighted with the results. Can’t thank you enough Debbie- you are amazing!! Kamella Pollard6.

The decluttering service she provides is professional and transforming. Sian Broome30. October, 2023.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Debbie was exactly the person I needed to help me with clearing out during a very difficult time following bereavements. She displayed empathy, kindness and sensitivity, and although I was initially quite anxious about the process, she put my mind at ease at once and was so considerate and patient in ensuring that we went about what felt like a daunting prospect in the easiest and most bearable way for me. She is very conscientious, often going out of her way to help with and resolve particular issues we encountered along the way. Debbie is the ideal person for this type of work with her knowledge, organisational skills and personality. She has restored a sense of calm and relief to a previously stressful situation and I can now enjoy and relax in the reclaimed space. I am very grateful to have found Clean Slate and will continue to book further sessions. I would highly recommend Debbie to anyone. Lallan9. October, 2023.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Debbie is my saviour! She helped me (pre house sell) clear out an extremely overflowing with junk loft and garage. Then again a year later helped me declutter and move into our new home. She is kind, caring, focused, gets the job done and even helped me with lists so I could get my jobs done. Something I desperately needed was guidance, structure and help with what to tackle first when the scale of the job seemed too daunting - I couldn’t have done it with her! Debbie also rehomes as much as she can and will alway know the right place to drop off your preloved items. Thank you Debbie ❤️ Sandra Rae29. September, 2023.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wholeheartedly recommend Clean Slate. Debbie is just the perfect declutterer. She is patient and sensitive, and clearly loves what she does which is infectious. She helped me turn a cluttered workroom back into a lovely living space. Importantly she also cares about the environment and encourages recycling and upcycling wherever possible. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Debbie again in the future.
