Take It One Room At a Time!

Why is it easier to clean one room at a time as opposed to cleaning every part of the home at the same time?

When cleaning any home, many make the unfortunate mistake of deciding to clean many spaces at the same time. Not only can this lead to exhaustion due to the overwhelming abundance of tasks that every room can have, but also because you are misusing your energy and will probably leave some areas without cleaning.

It is important to note that when you are working on a hoarder’s house, there will be tons of areas that need to be touched as it is likely that they are scattered or the hoarder doesn’t keep track of the items he collects in his home.

When you clean one room at a time, we recommend you order the rooms in terms of importance starting from the dirtiest and most cluttered room to get past the most difficult part.

Cleaning Supplies and Storage Boxes

Why is it important to have cleaning supplies and storage boxes when cleaning a hoarder’s home?

Cleaning a home means you will be emptying tons of objects and materials. This would also mean that due to removing these pieces, it could factor in a lot of dust and dirt which would need to then be tackled by cleaning. Before entering the war zone, it is wise to not be empty-handed.

We recommend stocking up on cleaning supplies as well as bringing storage boxes to put away all the clutter and mess. Here are some of the cleaning supplies needed:

  • Boxes

  • Trash Bags

  • Cleaning mask (as it will get dusty)

  • Duster

  • Broom

  • Mop

  • Bucket

  • Step ladder

  • Vacuum Cleaner

  • Garbage can

It is extremely important that when you’re cleaning a hoarder’s home to have the appropriate cleaning gear on as there will be times where you will need to remove years of untouched objects that probably contain dirt, dust, or bacteria.

If there are big objects that need to be disposed of like furniture or other bigger items it is important to have a garbage bin or dumpster in your nearby area to easily dispose of these pieces. Otherwise, it will be an issue to remove them later on after cleaning as it will continue to take up space and spread bacteria to the clean environment.

Deep Clean After Removing Clutter

Why is it important to deep clean after throwing away and removing clutter?

When you’re emptying your home, the number one thing you can expect is a large amount of dust. There is no avoiding it as you will be uncovering layers and layers of untouched spaces that will more than likely have bacteria, dust, as well as grime.

It is important to be able to deep clean every area that storage is removed in so that these layers of grime can also go along with it. This will restore the home and transform the hoarder’s living space as if it were brand new.
