Yes. Hoarding cleanup services and hoarder cleaning companies do this work every day. The team brings protective gear, hauling and disinfecting, and works with the resident or the family. Residents, relatives, landlords and property managers can all make the call.
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.
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.
Hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition in its own right. Only a doctor or mental health professional can say what applies to a particular person. A cleanup team does not diagnose, and it treats every resident with respect.
Ask about sorting, hauling, cleaning and a pace that fits the resident.
