"After experiencing a family medical hardship, we needed to host family unexpectedly. Caitlin was available and able to come help declutter and organize our space right away. We have her number saved now! Thank you Caitlin!"

"I have serious ADHD. Packing to move is my idea of a jigsaw nightmare. Caitlin came to the rescue. She was able to turn chaos into organized Tetris and helped me pack in a fraction of the time. Unpacking into my new place was also very efficient because everything was pre-organized, so it was just a matter of putting things away where they belong. This was a few years ago, so I was really happy to hear that Caitlin started a business organizing for people. I am hiring her again to help me organize my house and other personal affairs."

"Caitlin came into our teenage daughter’s room and somehow created order where there was previously none. We were ready to simply board it up and declare it a condemned space before she came and performed her magic. Next up for Caitlin? Our kitchen pantry. "

"Given my ADHD, I don't know what I'd do without a periodic session by Caitlin!"
-- Susan B.
"I cannot thank Caitlin enough for helping me with my place. I really needed a fresh start, and I had been putting it off for so long. Caitlin made it easy to relax and just let her help. My place looks so much better and it's been a big part of positive changes in my life."
-- Rick R.
“I love Caitlin at Clean Slate! I’ve known Caitlin for a few years now, and knew she loved helping her friends and family de-clutter their homes and lives, so when she decided to start her company, Clean Slate, I couldn’t wait to hire her! Caitlin came in and completely decluttered my bedroom and created storage and organization systems to help me reclaim my space. In addition, Caitlin came back the next day to declutter and organize the room my two teenage daughters share.
Caitlin also helped us move garbage out of the home, and came with us to drop off donations to goodwill, something that sounds simple, but would have taken me years to do on my own if left to me.
What I didn’t realize before hiring Caitlin is that not only would she declutter and organize my space, she would create a space of calm and safety. Every morning I wake up and see my closet organized and uncluttered, and my desk free of the piles upon piles of paper that plagued it before, I feel calm and ready to face the day.
I’m so grateful for Caitlin’s help, I’ve asked her to come back to help with my living spaces as well. If you’ve been considering engaging Clean Slate’s services, let this be a sign to go for it! You will not regret it!"

"Caitlin Krause is an extraordinary find.
She is an absolute organizing wizard!!!
We moved from California to L.O. Oregon & to put it lightly, we were in overwhelming "moving box hell"!
She assessed how we would best & most importantly efficiently set up our home.
She "gently" suggested "letting go" of things we no longer used or needed, so we could free up much needed space.
Cannot express our deep appreciation & gratitude."

"YYYYAAAYYYYY I LOOVEEE ITTTT YOU DID SO AMAZING, I APPRECIATE THIS SO SO SO MUCH, THANK YOUUUUU YOU SLAYYYEEDDDD. "
- text received from B, age 17, in response to her newly cleared bedroom. :)
"Caitlin meets you where you are at. She is delighted to work as a team at your pace taking as much time and care as you need. Or, turn her loose to completely transform your space while you focus elsewhere. Caitlin’s warmth, joy, and sensitivity make even the most overwhelming project achievable. She has worked wonders on our pantry, as well as helping “de-kid” a teen bedroom and basement play area. We can’t wait to see what she does with our attic!"

"We will soon complete 50 years in our large family home. That is a lot of time and a lot of room to fill with things. For some time now I have been overwhelmed and not able to find a solution I was comfortable with. It was beginning to really get me down and feel uncomfortable here. When Caitlin, a friend from our neighborhood, told me about her business I finally felt she was someone I could work with.
And I was right! The main thing I am grateful for is I never feel pressured by her. She presents a simple and organized way to go through the stuff, asks me questions, gives me ideas about what to do, and I feel comfortable with my decisions. She is very organized and knowledgable about disposal options. We have fun.
This method works for me. And I think she can adapt her style to the needs of who she is working with. I highly recommend Caitlin."
