Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Newtown, CT
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.
At what age does hoarding usually start?
There is no single age. Hoarding behaviors can begin early in life and often become more noticeable over time, so many families only seek help later. A doctor can speak to an individual situation.
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.
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.
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 you hire someone to clean a hoarder house?
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.
