Questions Residents and Relatives in Wynnefield Heights, Philadelphia, PA Ask About Hoarding Cleanup
What is hoarding cleanup?
Hoarding cleanup is the safe clearing and cleaning of a home that has too many belongings to use as intended. A cleanup team opens exits, sorts items with the resident, hauls away what is released and cleans and disinfects. It is done at the resident's pace.
Will the resident get to keep their belongings?
Yes. The resident decides what stays, what is donated and what is removed. Valuables, documents, photos and medicine are set aside first, and nothing leaves the home without agreement.
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.
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.
At what age does hoarding usually start?
There is no single age. Hoarding behaviors can begin early in life and often become more noticeable over time, so many families only seek help later. A doctor can speak to an individual situation.
