This is what we build together.
A Tidy Checklist is the heart of how Tidy works. We sit down with you in your home, walk through your routines, and write down — in your words — every quiet little thing that needs to happen to keep your house running.
Then, on the schedule we agree on, the Tidy lady or lad we've matched you with comes over and takes care of all of it. Every day. The same trusted person.
We meet you and your home
An on-site walkthrough — the cabinets that drive you nuts, the routines that hold the week together, the things only you notice.
We write your Tidy Checklist
Custom to your house. Organized by space. Specific enough that anyone could pick it up and run your home the way you'd want.
Your Tidy lady or lad takes it from there
On the schedule we set together. Same trusted person. Daily. Quietly. While you do anything else.

Your checklist will look nothing like this one. And that's the whole point. Every Tidy household has its own quirks, its own rhythm, its own list of small things that matter. We sit with you, we listen, and we write yours. Then we keep tuning it as your life changes.
