I have offered to help an elderly relative of a friend who is living abroad (who is having some cleaners come in for a deep clean in about two weeks) with a pre-clean tidy/de-clutter
I have to travel to get there and have a whole weekened - so basically a full two days.
The room situation is that two rooms are really quite bad - dumping ground for crap - so bags of random clothes on the floor, piles of books, piles of correspondence etc. These are things that as well as taking time to "tidy" would need considerable time to sort through and will require consideration and input of the owner as to what they want to keep and what stuff is and where it should go.
The other rooms are less bad but still need a pre-clean organisation and declutter.
Any advice about where to start? how to divide my time?
I'm worried that if I start with the hard rooms, I'll get lost in time and space and achieve nothing but if I start with the other rooms and leave the rooms of hell, it will mean the worst rooms will be hard for the cleaners to access.
Anyone done similar? or what should I do?
