declutterer
Chaos reduction specialist
A declutterer is someone who removes unnecessary items from a space or helps others do so.
The term applies both to professionals who assist clients in organizing homes and offices, and to anyone engaged in clearing out accumulated possessions.
We hired a declutterer to help us downsize before the move.
The word gained currency alongside the minimalism movement and the popularity of organizing consultants.
