Frequently Asked Questions

What makes you different than other organizers?

We are a team of professional organizers. Kristina is skilled at decluttering while Matina is a wizard with systems. We also have several Assistant Organizers ready to help you! Together, we can get your project accomplished in significantly less time than other organizing companies, saving you both time and money!

We are experienced in managing multiple projects at the same time and customizing approaches to fit the needs of the client at hand. We know that there is no “best method” that works for everyone. We understand your readiness for change and can meet you where you are. We are compassionate and will always put your needs first.

Our services are all-inclusive. This means that you have less to worry about when working with us. We not only provide all the necessary tools for your project (trash bags, label makers, etc.), but we also provide pertinent services. We take donations for you and provide a tax receipt, handle all shopping and returns, drop off shredding and recycling, dispose of expired medicine, and provide junk removal services, in addition to all the planning, sorting, decluttering, and installations. All you have to do is provide your opinions and decide on what you’d like to keep, donate, or trash. We are your one-stop shop for all your organizing needs!

Why would I need Two Tidy Tinas, LLC to organize my space?

Inviting us to organize for you also allows you to have an objective team assessing and looking at all possibilities for your space with fresh eyes. The questions we ask before and during the Needs Assessment & Planning Session help you envision how you plan to use your space and allow us to customize solutions that are unique to your needs and sustainable to your lifestyle. Is your clutter the source of your stress? Are you too overwhelmed to start? These are signs that you’re ready to have us help you get organized!

How do I get started?

Schedule your free 30-minute phone consultation. We will contact you at the scheduled time to discuss your project needs and if our services would be a good fit for you. Then, we will schedule a Needs Assessment & Planning Session so we can evaluate your space, give you an estimate on how long the project might take, and customize a plan for your project.

How long will it take to get organized?

Every project is different. The length of time it will take to complete a project will depend on how quickly you are able to make decisions, how many items we will be decluttering and organizing, and your schedule. We will work with you to figure out a timeline that fits your lifestyle.


Should I clean up before you come?

Do not organize for the organizers. We know you will be tempted to — we would be too. But please resist the urge. We would love to see a realistic representation of how you currently use your space and what is not working, so we can understand what needs to change and how to set up a system that works for you. We never judge!

Am I going to have to get rid of a lot?

We will not “make” you get rid of anything. However, true organization is not possible without some decluttering of items you no longer need, use, or love. Clutter will prevent you from reaching your goals. We understand it is difficult to let go of certain items, but we will support you along the way and even make the process fun—we promise!

What will you do with the items I purge?

We would love to help you re-home any of your unwanted items. We can bring items to your preferred donation center. If you would like a tax receipt, we can make sure to get one for you. If you need help with recycling any items, we are happy to bring them to the appropriate recycling center. If there are any items you choose to sell, we can give you some tips on how and where to sell them.

Do I need to be present?

You will need to be present for the Needs Assessment & Planning Session, as well as the decluttering and sorting process since your input and decisions will be necessary. If you prefer not to be present for the installation of the system or gallery wall, that is perfectly fine. However, you are more than welcome to be present for the entire project and learn some organizing skills along the way.

Should I hire a professional organizer before listing my home?

If your house stays on the market too long, the potential expected price reduction will cost you thousands of dollars more than our services. When you are ready to sell your home, you want to showcase your space, not your things. We’ll help you declutter and depersonalize the home you’ve loved while making it attractive to buyers. We can also help you prepare to move and set up systems in your new space.

Is there a travel fee?

Travel is included at no additional cost up to a 50-mile radius from Greenville, SC. Additional travel distances beyond the Greenville metro area will be charged based on your location.

Are deposits required for booking services?

A deposit of half of the total payment is due when purchasing in-home organizing packages. The remainder is due 2 weeks after the deposit. Payments are non-refundable, but you can reschedule session(s) within a year of the purchase date.

How do I pay for your services?

We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express), as well as PayPal or Venmo.
