- Setting aside valuables, documents, photos, medicine and keepsakes before anything is hauled
- Protective gear, containment and air control to keep dust and odor from spreading

Hoarding Cleaning Questions Answered for Woodstock, GA Families
Is hoarding cleanup different from a regular house cleaning?
Yes. A regular cleaning assumes surfaces are reachable and the items stay. Hoarding cleanup includes sorting, hauling, hazard checks, protective gear and disposal, and then a deeper clean of kitchens, bathrooms and floors.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
