| If you shop in thrift stores, resale shops, charity stores, pawn shops, or other sources of second-hand goods, what kinds of things do you look for? Are there any categories of items that you would ONLY buy used? Any categories of items that you would NEVER buy used? | I don't generally shop thrift stores because I lack the patience to look for specific items. |
| If you’ve ever completed a major decluttering project, have you experienced re-cluttering anxiety afterwards? Please describe your experience and how you’ve tried to manage this feeling. | This mostly happens to the space (her townhouse) I helped my daughter to declutter. (I stopped counting at 65 hours worth of help). She calls herself a hoarder and I think she might be on the spectrum. I do have anxiety because I would like to get it into a reasonable condition for her but that would be a repeat of all that I have already done plus more work. |
| How often do you deep-clean your kitchen, going above and beyond whatever daily or several-time-a-week routines you maintain? | At least once a month |
| What routines or habits have been useful to ensure that your kitchen is always clean? | Keeping dishes done tops the list! Our kitchen is cluttered-looking because hubby is the cook and he likes certain things out on the counter. Our entire counter is the approximate size of 1.5 times a dish drainer size. I have gone over our kitchen to get rid of things we weren't using or that were expired. It has greatly improved the storage areas for the things we do use! It's easy to grab things for a meal as well as return them to their spots. I know where everything is. |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | Where in your homes do you struggle the most? |
| Future topics | survey listeners about their declutter successes and failures to help anyone currently struggling. for those with successes to report, if they could include what worked. for those with failures, what are the biggest stumbling blocks? |
