Hoarder Clean Up: Specialized Cleaning for Sensitive Situations

The first step in tackling a large hoarding cleanup is to develop a plan and set realistic goals. Begin with a room at a time and create a “keep” and “discard” area where items can be placed during the process. This will allow the hoarder to remain in control of their items and avoid a complete emotional meltdown during the process.

It is also important to remember that hoarding can lead to structural damage and safety concerns in the home. If there are blocked exits, electrical issues due to tangled wires, and pest infestation from food or other materials stored improperly, it may be necessary to hire professionals to address the issue.
