How do you clean a hoarder's house?

Start with safety, then sort, remove and clean in that order. Exits and fire hazards come first, then spoiled food and unsafe items, then deep cleaning of kitchens and bathrooms. The resident decides what stays, and a cleanup team can handle the heavy parts.

What should you not say to a hoarder?

Avoid calling their belongings trash, saying the home is disgusting or telling them to just throw things out. Never move items without asking. Ask what matters most to them, listen, and offer to help at their pace.

How do you talk to someone about a hoarding cleanup?

Speak calmly, start with safety and ask what they want to keep. Avoid blame and surprises, and agree on a small first step. Many people feel more at ease once they know who will be in the home and what will happen.

Are pests and mold part of hoarding cleanup?

Yes, cleanup covers the mess pests and mold leave behind, such as droppings, spoiled food and damaged materials. Pest control and mold remediation are separate trades, and you can ask the team when they are needed.

Can a team clean after the resident has moved or passed away?
