How do you help a hoarder clean?
Offer help without pressure, ask what they want to keep and agree on one small area to start. Do not remove items they have not released. A cleanup team can take over the heavy lifting, disposal and sanitizing while you offer support.
Can you hire someone to clean a hoarder house?
Yes. Hoarding cleanup services and hoarder cleaning companies do this work every day. The team brings protective gear, hauling and disinfecting, and works with the resident or the family. Residents, relatives, landlords and property managers can all make the call.
How much does hoarding cleanup cost?
The price depends on the size of the home, the level of buildup, hazards such as pests or mold, disposal, stairs and the pace chosen. The cleanup team sets a price after seeing the home. Be careful with any quote given sight unseen.
What does a level one hoarder house look like?
Hoarding is often described in levels, and level one is the lightest. Clutter is present but exits and pathways are open, utilities work and rooms can still be used. Higher levels bring blocked rooms, sanitation problems and safety hazards.
