[quote=Anonymous]Are you cool with delegating him to throw stuff out? Like could he go through the toys or kid clothes with your kids one day while you're gone and get rid of 70% of it, or would you be upset? What about the bathroom renovation staging room/former nursery?

Laundry on the couch all week every week isn't normal. I suspect that's only partly because you don't have time to put clothes away and partly because if all the clothes are clean they don't fit neatly and easily into the closets/dressers.

If there is usually stuff on the dining room table, can it be put in its proper place in 15 minutes or so? After a long battle with my own clutter tendencies, I'm still a pretty messy person and things tend to pile up. But it only takes me 20 minutes or so to clean up the main floor because everything has a clear and easily accessible (not stacked or buried) place. (Except for the floating island of crap-with-no-home, which is small, has a dedicated corner in the basement, and I work on regularly). So not only does it not take that long, anyone can do the putting away who knows the basic storage areas of the house. I had to get rid of about 50% of my possessions to achieve this (not kidding).

All of that is tidying, not really cleaning, and it's harder to hire someone to help with it. It also makes cleaning pretty difficult and basically impossible for an outside hire. So the hiring is only part of the issue. It honestly sounds like you have a pretty serious hoarding issue and you should probably be looking for a specialist to help you cull the stuff. [/quote]
