1. Lemon Organisers

Areas Served: Gauteng, including Johannesburg

Hours: Monday-Thursday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM | Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM 

Moving into a smaller home or retirement village can feel overwhelming, but Lemon Organisers makes downsizing easier for empty-nesters and retirees with their caring, hands-on service. 

They’re known for sorting and packing items patiently, always aiming to reduce stress. 

Their basic pricing includes the labor of one supervisor plus an assistant, so you’re always supported, and things keep moving.

We recently chatted with a family who used them to help with their move, and they shared that the team handled both packing and unpacking smoothly, making the whole transition much simpler. 

You’ll want to keep in mind, though, they add a 15% surcharge to any storage containers or outside services they arrange for you. 

Also, buying a set-hour package doesn’t guarantee the whole job will be finished in that time.

She was incredibly organized, patient, and made the entire process so much easier

Careen and her team were absolutely amazing! She helped us sort and pack our home before moving to a smaller house, and it felt like having a best friend by our side the whole time. She was incredibly organized, patient, and made the entire process so much easier. Her helpers, Grace and Paul, were just as wonderful, ensuring everything was packed efficiently and even cleaning our house after the move. We couldn’t have done it without them! Highly recommend Careen and her team for anyone needing moving or organizing help.

2. So Sorted Professional Organisers

Address: 62 Kinfauns Street, Sydenham

Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM 

Getting rid of unwanted stuff can be the toughest part of organizing, but So Sorted Professional Organisers makes it easier by arranging auctions for items you want to sell. 

They take a 15% commission and send the rest of your earnings straight to your bank account, so you don’t have to handle the selling process yourself. 

Once the junk is gone, they also take care of deep cleaning, so your space is fully refreshed.

After hearing from a client whose garage was overrun with clutter, we learned firsthand how helpful it is to have a team step in and quickly sort through everything. 

If you prefer an in-person estimate instead of sending photos, just know there’s a call-out fee of up to R800 for that service.

‘So Sorted’ handled the whole thing for her with such efficiency and professionalism

Kirsten and her team assisted my aunt with the final clearing out of her house after she had relocated to a retirement village. She had been very stressed about the whole situation and was extremely happy that ‘So Sorted’ handled the whole thing for her with such efficiency and professionalism. Kirsten added that extra touch by showing real compassion and taking the time to interact with her personally. She treated her with sensitivity and kindness. Thanks so much, Kirsten!  Would recommend you and your team to anyone who needs to move, downsize, de-clutter or simply re-arrange their homes or offices.

They went above and beyond anything that I expected.

I cannot express how incredible Kirsten and her team are! They went above and beyond anything that I expected. From the packing, sorting, moving, unpacking- everything was seamless and so impressive. I have raved about this team to every person I know. Moving house is supposed to be one of the stressful experiences in life….we were out for sushi the day of the move thanks to Kirsten and her team 🙂 Highly Recommend!!!

3. Organised by Gina

Areas Served: Johannesburg

Contact: +27 (0) 83 339 6119 | [email protected]

Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM 

Recovering from surgery can make it tough to keep your home in order, which is why Organised by Gina is such a great help for anyone needing extra support. 

Their team specializes in organizing spaces for post-op recovery and handling estate clearances with care and understanding. 

When you can’t do it yourself, they step in to set up daily routines, organize chores, and create spaces that are easy to use while you heal. 

They also help new parents set up nurseries that are not only cute, but practical, so families are ready before the baby arrives.

But it’s important to note that if you want ongoing maintenance every few months, you’ll need a separate quote for that. 

Some clients also pay travel and consultation fees, but those consultation charges usually get refunded after you book the service.

Gina is amazing at what she does

In just 4 days Gina managed to neatly pack up our old house, arrange safe transport of all our goods, set up our appliances and unpack every single box into our new house. 
She organised our entire kitchen, living room, bathrooms and bedrooms with so much care. Our clothes were hung up, folded and colour coded!!

To top it off, we slept in a newly made up bed on the first night in our new house without having to lift a finger.

Gina is amazing at what she does! Her organisational skills, time efficacy and attention to detail are inspiring!

From start to finish, Gina provided an exceptional level of professionalism and service delivery. From the first point of contact , all the way up to the after care checks in and follow ups, Gina’s service and quality execution was unparalleled. Gina and her team worked tirelessly to ensure my move was done as per the agreed upon timelines. I highly recommend Gina and her team. Gina takes a personal interest in her clients and her immense care shines through in her work.

4. Organised to the T (OCD to the T)

Website: https://www.organisedtothet.com/

Address: Benmore Rd, Morningside, Sandton

Contact: 072 480 6072 | [email protected]

Hours: Monday, 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM | Tuesday-Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM 

Organised to the T stands out for combining home organization with practical training for your household staff and support for big life changes. 

The company offers custom solutions for every room: closets, kitchens, pantries, offices, bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, kids’ spaces, and more. 

They’ll help you sort through your belongings and teach simple ways to keep things organized. Training for household staff and advice on maintenance make it easier for your new system to last. 

They also assist with unpacking after a move, downsizing, and maximizing your space, all with an eye for both function and style. 

However, their services only cover residential areas and basic life transitions, so you’ll need another provider for office or warehouse projects. 

Excellent service for a reasonable price

Extremely helpful and very professional. Tetty made my home not only beautifully organized but also absolutely functional. No more misplaced gadgets or chaos in the drawers. For me personally keeping my wardrobe and my kid’s clothes in order was a dreadful exercise but Tetty made it possible and much more neater. Excellent service for a reasonable price. I highly recommend OCD to the T.

Tetty managed to get rid of the clutter

I wasn’t sure what to expect but their work changed my life! Tetty managed to get rid of the clutter and set a structure that both my helper and me understand. As a divorced father I never got the time to organise in detail my house. Not only looks amazing, it is functional! Thanks!

5. Cloud 9 Organised

Website: https://cloud9organised.co.za/

Address: 81 Tree Fuchsia Way, Xanadu Lifestyle Village, Ifafi

Contact: 073 621 3316 | [email protected]

Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM 

Sometimes you don’t just want someone to tidy up your home; you want to learn how to do it yourself. 

Cloud 9 Organised understands this and takes things a step further by offering one-on-one training along with educational workshops, so you’re not left guessing what to do next. 

If you’re interested in becoming a professional organizer, their workshops give you all the basics and hands-on skills. 

They also sell useful organization products, like their signature document storage system, which makes it easy to start new filing habits right away. 

One thing to know, though, is that they’re based in Hartbeespoort, not central Johannesburg. They can be less convenient if you’re looking for quick, in-person help. 

Collected items in a very short time frame compassionately, effectively, and efficiently

Heidi and her Team managed to sort through 45 years of loved and collected items in a very short time frame compassionately, effective efficiently when my father moved to a retirement home. Many items were recycled and donated which we greatly appreciated. I highly recommend her

I am eternally grateful for their professionalism and efficiency

Cloud 9 Organised did the impossible. Clearing out my folks house of 56 years which I was battling to do for over 2 years. They had it sorted in 5 days. Quietly, gently with so much compassion. Nobody can believe what Heidi and Surprise managed in that time. I am eternally grateful for their professionalism and efficiency. Thank you! <3
