Hoarder House Cleaning: Your Questions, Answered for Embudo Canyon, Albuquerque, NM

What happens to the items that are removed?

Usable items go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, damaged or unsafe items are disposed of correctly, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.

Can a hoarder house be cleaned in one day?

A single lightly crowded room sometimes can. A whole house with heavy buildup usually takes several days or longer, and short sessions suit many residents. The team can give a realistic estimate after it sees the home.

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.

Can I clean a hoarded home myself?

A lightly crowded room with a willing resident can be a do-it-yourself project with gloves, a mask and a helper. Beyond that, hidden hazards, heavy items and the emotional strain make a team the safer choice.

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

Yes. A cleanup team can sort, clear and clean a home once the resident has moved, entered care or died. The family can set rules for photos, papers and keepsakes, and the work moves at the family'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.
