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.
How do you keep a home from filling up again after cleanup?
Small habits, such as one clear surface a week, help. Ongoing support from a doctor, counselor or local group can make progress last. The team can talk through simple upkeep ideas at the end of the job.
