The Betty Mills Company Helps Everyone Celebrate “Tackle Your Clutter Month”

SAN MATEO, Calif. – March 29, 2005 –With spring cleaning right around the corner and April recognized as “Tackle Your Clutter Month,” The Betty Mills Company wants to help people save both time and money by helping them organize the excess clutter in their homes.

To that end, The Betty Mills Company is providing places for wives to pile their husbands’ tools, for husbands to stash their wives’ Christmas decorations and for parents to store their children’s old toys. Recognized as a leader in providing cleaning supplies and storage solutions, The Betty Mills Company is also a leading online retailer of outdoor sheds and storage facilities that are the perfect solution to help families get organized and satisfy their clutter-tackling urges.

“Some people might think they can’t afford to buy a nice shed at the moment, but I say ‘How can you afford not to?’” said David Schulhof, vice president of marketing for The Betty Mills Company. “To encourage people to get organized, we have put all of our sheds on Betty Mills Double Markdown™, so the prices can't be beat. Besides, if you look at what it costs to keep things lying around in your house, it is much more affordable to put it away in a shed.”

A recent article in “The Dollar Stretcher” online magazine* puts such hyperbole into actual terms:

“Do the math: Let's say you have a 2,000 square foot house with a monthly mortgage/rent payment of $700. Even if you've limited your stuff to a 10- x 10-foot area (100 square feet), that clutter is taking up 5 percent (area of clutter divided by area of house). And 5 percent of your house payment is $35 every month (or $420 every year)!”

“With so many different storage needs for many different home styles, no single method works best,” Schulhof explained. “Apartment dwellers don’t exactly have room for a 10- x 14-foot log cabin shed, and homeowners with their own car-repair shop need more than a plastic office organizer.”

To meet the needs of all de-junkers, The Betty Mills Company offers the gamut of storage solutions, all of which can be viewed from your own computer. From large sheds for stowing lawnmowers and tools, to desk-size sheds that can be self-assembled, Betty Mills makes finding the perfect storage solution easy by eliminating the need to visit several home-improvement stores – again saving time and money. And Betty Mills has made tackling clutter even easier this spring by currently offering its storages solutions on sale at Betty Mills Double Markdown™ prices.

“We’ve tried to make the de-cluttering experience as painless as possible,” Schulhof said. “Storage sheds not only make dealing with clutter in the home easy, they are also a solution to the extra files, folders, cords and boxes piling up around the office. In fact, an office can use these storage solutions just as much as your run-of-the-mill household, if not more so.”

The Betty Mills Web site offers more than 100 outdoor storage solutions, such as storage sheds, carports and canopies, as well as foundation and window kits to build your own. The Betty Mills Company also specializes in offering more than 30,000 high-quality cleaning and janitorial supplies such as buckets, toilet paper and soap dispensers as well as office products and supplies from calendars and rubber bands to office furniture and file cabinets.
