Minimalist Mischief – FAQ’s

Q: What is the minimum number of hours for a booking with Minimalist Mischief?

A: A minimum of three hours per booking is required.

Q: Do you offer package deals or set pricing for specific rooms/spaces?

A: No. Every space is unique — some are highly cluttered, others less so. Flat-rate pricing wouldn’t fairly reflect the time and effort required for different homes.

Pricing is based on the time needed to complete your specific project.

Q: What’s the best way to get in touch with MM?

A:

  • Email: minimalistmischief@gmail.com

  • Phone: 615-266-4060

  • Social Media: Message via Facebook or Instagram @minimalist_mischief

Q: Do I need to be present and help during the job?

A: If decluttering or purging is required, your input is essential during that step. For the rest of the process, I can work independently while you go about your day.

Q: Are pets okay during a session?

A: Yes however, they will need to be kept out of the way. Pets often get excited with visitors, which can slow down the organizing process.

Q: What if I’m not satisfied with the final result?

A: I’ll check in with you throughout the process to ensure things are moving in the right direction. We’ll also have a consultation call beforehand to align on your goals and expectations.
