Organization Services
Scrub Portland will help provide a structured, thoughtful approach to restoring order and functionality to your space. Whether organizing a single room or an entire home, our process is designed to bring order, clarity, and balance—without overwhelming you. The end result is a space that feels intentional, calm, and aligned with how you actually live within your home or place of business.
Primary Service Inclusions
Organizing is the foundation of the service. This phase focuses on how your space is laid out and how it functions day to day. We assess the flow of each room, storage areas, and commonly used items to determine the most efficient setup.
Organizing
Sorting is where clarity happens. During this phase, items are reviewed and grouped based on relevance, frequency of use, and personal value. Clients remain in control of all decisions; we guide the process to keep it efficient and stress-free.
Sorting
Categorizing turns an organized space into one that stays organized. Once items are sorted and placed, we create clear categories so everything has a designated home. Categories are tailored to how you naturally think and retrieve items, making maintenance simple.
Categorizing
Labeling is the final step that brings an organized space together and ensures it remains functional over time. Thoughtful labeling removes uncertainty, minimizes daily decision-making, and helps everyone in the household maintain order effortlessly.

Additional Service Inclusions
Space Design
Space design is the foundation of a well-organized home. Before bins are purchased or items are placed, a clear and thoughtful plan is essential. Our Space Design service focuses on creating smart, functional layouts that support how you actually live, ensuring your space remains organized long after the work is complete.
Product Assembly
We handle the full assembly process for organizing-related products, from simple components to more complex systems. Each item is assembled with precision and care, following manufacturer guidelines to ensure stability, safety, and longevity.
Responsible Disposal
Donations are managed with care and, when approved, directed to local charities and donation centers where items can serve a meaningful purpose. This step allows usable items to continue their lifecycle while supporting the community.

Additions to Consider
For clarity and ease, the following considerations apply when booking our Organization Services. We prioritize transparency and clearly disclose all fees and any upfront costs.
01
Product Sourcing and Procurement
For clients who prefer a hands-off approach, we will manage the entire shopping and return process for your project for a fee of $100.
This option includes:
Purchasing containers and organizing materials based on the approved plan
Handling any necessary returns
Charging materials at retail price with no additional markup
This option is ideal for clients who want a streamlined, stress-free experience.
02
Provided On-Hand Materials
If you choose to use containers or organizing materials we already have in stock, a small fee will be applied to cover transportation and storage.
Fee typically ranges between 10%–20% of the actual retail cost of the items
Percentage is based on quantity, size, and handling requirements
This option offers flexibility while allowing immediate access to proven organizing products.
03
Larger Disposal Needs
Trash removal is not included in our hourly rate. If additional disposal is required, we are happy to assist in one of the following ways:
Provide trash removal services for an additional charge, or
Recommend trusted bulk trash removal companies to support larger disposal needs
This structure allows clients to control costs while ensuring items are handled responsibly and efficiently.
04
Session Time Requirements
Establishing a minimum session length allows us to dedicate a focused block of time to your space and create noticeable, lasting impact.
Organizing and decluttering are most effective when completed in structured phases rather than short, fragmented visits.
This approach allows us to:
Make significant progress in each session
Reduce the likelihood of partially completed systems
Move efficiently toward a fully organized and decluttered space
Potentially reduce the total number of sessions needed, saving you both time and money
05
Packing and Unpacking Support
Packing and unpacking require additional time and care. An 8-hour minimum allows us to handle your belongings properly while maintaining organization, accuracy, and efficiency throughout the process.
This ensures:
-
Careful handling and protection of your items
-
Thoughtful placement and organization in your new home
-
Reduced stress during a major transition
-
A smoother, more efficient move-in or move-out experience
