How To Perform A Hoarder Cleanup

by | May 17, 2022

A hoarder cleanup is not your average housekeeping job.

After all, hoarding is vastly different from simple clutter. The Mayo Clinic defines a hoarding disorder as a “persistent difficulty discarding or parting with possessions…regardless of actual value.”

Hoarding can create extremely cramped, unsanitary, and ultimately, unsafe, conditions. A hoarder cleanup must be completed with all of this, along with the emotional wellbeing of participants, in mind.

Read on to learn more about what’s involved in a hoarder cleanup and information on hoarding cleanup services.

What’s Involved In a Hoarder Cleanup?

 

Safety should be a top priority when it comes to a hoarder cleanup. The sheer amount of items, dirt, and other potential contaminants (i.e. mold and pests) can be dangerous to your health and wellness.

Here is our typical process for performing a hoarder cleanup:

  1. Assess the situation, especially looking for any biological threats
  2. Create a detailed and precise plan of action, including renting items like dumpsters
  3. Begin the cleaning process removing items
  4. Remove fixtures, carpet, flooring, etc. if necessary
  5. Sanitize the property

Of course, it’s also essential to be aware of the emotional toll of a hoarder cleanup. Counseling services may also be a necessary part of the process.
