See, this is why it's a good thing that Mr. Verres has a personal assistant. Without Lavender he's never be able to get anything accomplished at work. It's actually a bit of a wonder that the rest of the house is so clean if that's what his storage closet is like. Maybe it's because Tedd likes to use cleaning as an excuse to zap himself and dress up in a "maid's uniform".
Still, with that much paper it must be nearly impossible to move around which would make it even more difficult to find what they're looking for. It's a tough situation really, and they'll probably be in there for quite a while, but I'm sure that Tedd and Elliot will eventually come out of the closet.
