NAME A CLEANER
The one thing you will need is a person you trust implicitly to carry out your wishes. We call this person a
Cleaner, and they should do exactly what you ask without judgment. They’ll go through your computer,
dresser drawers, medicine cabinet and anywhere else questionable items might be lurking. Then they’ll
actually delete and or destroy them without question or complaint.
