Not Sure If You Need a Cleaning Service or Junk Removal?

Here’s Who to Call When You’re Somewhere in Between

If you’re standing in your home wondering whether to call a cleaning service or junk removal, you’re not alone.

This is one of the most common reasons people reach out to Mr. Clear.

Because sometimes the problem isn’t just dirt — and it’s not just junk either.

It’s everything in between.

When a Regular Cleaning Service Isn’t Enough

Traditional cleaning services are great for:
• Ongoing upkeep
• Surface-level cleaning
• Homes that are already fairly organized

But they’re usually not equipped to handle:
• Heavy clutter
• Long-neglected spaces
• Items that need to be sorted, removed, or decided on
• Emotional or overwhelming cleanup situations

If you’re thinking, “I’m embarrassed to even call a cleaner,” that’s usually a sign you need something more than a standard clean.

When Junk Removal Isn’t the Right Fit Either

Junk removal companies are great for:
• Large item haul-offs
• Fast removal of obvious trash
• Construction debris

But they typically don’t:
• Sort belongings with care
• Clean what’s left behind
• Help you decide what stays and what goes
• Restore a space so it actually functions

If everything feels important — or you’re not ready to just throw things away — junk removal can feel too aggressive.

The “In Between” Is Where Mr. Clear Works Best

Mr. Clear exists for situations where people say:
• “I don’t know where to start.”
• “Some of this needs to go, but not all of it.”
• “I need help, not just a truck or a mop.”

Instead of asking “Is this trash or not?” we ask:

“What do you want this space to be when we’re done?”

Clear, Clean, Organize — In the Right Order

Every project follows a simple process designed for these exact situations:

1️⃣ Clear

We carefully remove what doesn’t belong — clutter, buildup, debris — without rushing decisions.

Nothing is tossed without permission.
Nothing is forced.

2️⃣ Clean

Once the space is clear, we deep clean it properly — floors, surfaces, forgotten corners, and everything in between.

This is often where people feel the biggest sense of relief.

3️⃣ Organize

Finally, we organize what remains so the space is usable, calm, and easier to maintain going forward.

The goal isn’t perfection — it’s function and peace of mind.

Common Situations Where This Matters

People often find themselves “in between” when dealing with:
• Homes that haven’t been deep cleaned in years
• Garages, basements, or spare rooms full of mixed items
• Cleanups after loss, illness, or major life transitions
• Rental properties or second homes needing a reset
• Downsizing or preparing a home for sale

These situations need care, not just speed.

More Than Cleaning. More Than Junk Removal.

Mr. Clear may also help with:
• Property clearing (yards, sheds, garages)
• Light handyman or maintenance tasks
• Post-construction deep cleaning
• Organizing for long-term ease
• Helping families navigate sensitive cleanups

If something requires a specialist or licensed professional, you’ll be told honestly.
