Hoarder House Cleaning: Your Questions, Answered for Downtown Brooklyn / DUMBO / Boerum Hill, New York, NY

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 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.

Can a landlord require hoarding cleanup?

Often a lease or local housing or fire rules allow a landlord to set a deadline for safety. A tenant rights group, a code office or an attorney can explain what applies. A cleanup team can often work toward a deadline.

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.

Does the resident have to be there during the cleanup?

Not always, but it often helps. When the resident is present, sorting goes more smoothly and decisions are respected. If the resident cannot attend, the family or caller can set clear rules about what is kept.

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.
