Kitchen Advice from Kiera Rain of Bay Area Professional Organizer:


1) I tell all clients to purge expired freezer/pantry items e Jan/July. Take a weekend every Jan and July to purge expired foods, meds, outgrown clothes/shoes. This maintenance keeps your day to day life sane, year round.


2) Watch comedy tv/stand up/fav old movie/listen to audio book while you slave away in the kitchen.


3) Multi-task. Put away dishes/wipe counter/check for moldy fruit while you race the boiling water, beeping microwave, oven.


4) For weekly fridge/perishable item upkeep, day before trash day is designated Left Over Night. Toss all bad foods on Left Over Night. This also helps save money for being more food aware to prevent food waste. Wipe fridge as needed on Left Over Night. Taking bad food out for weekly trash pick up lowers infestations of bugs/raccoons/rodents.


Reality:

Kitchens + pantries + fridges/freezers usually take 2.5-3 sessions. 2 days to pull everything out, toss expireds, donate not keeps, move excess to baker's rack in garage. .5-1 session to create new custom systems for the family based on daily flow. This new system can now easily be kept up for years.

Professional Organizer

Creates functional systems for belongings and spaces: categorizes/sorts like items, guides clients through keep/donate/discard decisions, determines where items should live, and creates customized, long-term organizational and storage solutions. Incorporates space planning, furniture placement, and styling using the client’s existing belongings to improve function and flow.


House Cleaner

Cleans the home: scrubbing/wiping surfaces, bathrooms, kitchens, floors, appliances, dusting, fan blades, baseboards, etc. Usually cleans around belongings rather than determining where belongings should live.


Housekeeper

Maintains the household: laundry, changing bedding, dishes, tidying, picking up toys/clothes, putting belongings away, light cleaning, and general household upkeep.


Mommy’s Helper

Provides broad household and family assistance that may include tidying, laundry, errands, groceries, meal help, childcare, and kid transportation. Exact duties vary by family.

Interior Designer

Plans the function, layout, and design of interior spaces, potentially including kitchens, bathrooms, cabinetry, built-ins, lighting/electrical plans, materials, space planning, and remodel design. May work with architects, engineers, and contractors on structural changes.


Handyman

Handles smaller repairs, installations, assembly, mounting, patching, maintenance, and miscellaneous home-improvement tasks that don’t require a specialized licensed trade.

5 Ways to Quickly Declutter Your Space Right Now!

1) Hang up a donate garbage bag (white, 13 gallon) on a hanger/hook in your foyer coat closet. This is the go-to donate bag for the rest of your life, for everyone in the home to use, for random items as you go about life: outgrown clothing/shoes, a mug you're meh about, unwanted gift, outgrown toy/hobby item. When it's full, replace bag, take donates to your local donation drop.

2) Purge your water bottles/mugs for back to school time. Let go of ones that leak, ones you don't use/like, tops with no bottoms.

3) Replace your worn out welcome mats.

4) Replace all sleep/couch pillows after 2 years. Do they have stains, lumpy, uncomfy, collecting dust, always in the way, you have too many? Machine wash on hot with detergent plus white vinegar, dry thoroughly to prevent mold/mildew.

5) Get a stuffy hammock. (Some kids like mine need 3.) YW.

Do you have Big Piles in your home?

Started a new house today! I LOVE diving into new jobs. Every room of the house is pretty much like this except the kitchen. Big property, it'll take months, but this is gonna be a beautiful "After" home! BayAreaProfessionalOrganizer.com

“We got more done in 2 days than I’ve done in 5 years.”

Looking for people whose homes have stopped functioning at their full potential.


“We got more done in 2 days than I’ve done in 5 years.”


Maybe you’re dealing with:


  • chronic overwhelm
  • years of deferred decisions
  • visual overload
  • executive functioning struggles
  • major life transitions
  • spaces that no longer function well
  • inconsistent routines and systems
  • piles and projects you keep avoiding
  • a home that requires too much effort to maintain


I guide clients through the decision-making process with structure, momentum, and direction—keeping things moving so overwhelm and overthinking don’t bring progress to a halt.


We don’t just organize what you own. We improve functionality, workflow, systems, and day-to-day home operations so your space works better for the way you actually live.
