[quote=Anonymous]I am in the process of cleaning the house, decluttering and minimizing because my kid is getting married in a year.   I think you need to do some decluttering before you call a cleaner.

Here goes -

1) Anything you do not need - give it away on the website - Trash Nothing.  Easy to take a picture and post.  I have found that things go very fast if I take a flattering picture in a clean space.  Also, helps to group things together.  
You can also get  household stuff and clothes  picked up from your home by Purple Heart or Pickup Please donations

2) KonMari your clothes first.  Clothes are most easy to tackle because at least it is  easy to get rid of clothes that are shabby, fit poorly, or not super flattering.

3) I believe that you need to tackle kitchen next. Mostly there are five categories - 1) All cooking pots and pans and kitchen implements.  2) All dishes and serve ware,  3) All kitchen appliances and 4) All food/pantry/fridge/freezer consumable 5) medicines, cleaning supplies,  cling wrap, foil and storage containers.   I would suggest to start with the food/pantry/fridge/freezer section first and throw away all the things that are expired, spoiled,  stale or you would not eat it. Do not overbuy.  What you can donate safely, please do.  The next thing would be the medicines etc.

4) Get rid of all the samples or hotel sized toiletries by donating. Discard products that you have not used in a while. or find a use for it so that you can immediately use it up.

At this point you can start calling cleaners to clean your house regularly and you can start getting rid of clutter and organizing on the side.

5) Paper?  All of you need to go through it together.
