Jim King and his crew have been flipping nasty apartment buildings and turning them into wonderful places to live since 2009. In 2023 he decided to help others in need with their distressed properties.
There are many facets to hoarding. You could be facing a single room piled high with possessions, or a whole house bulging at the seams. Take a look through the property, assess what you’re dealing with, and come up with a plan to handle it.
At the top of your concerns should be having an exit plan in case of fire or other hazards, and clearing common pathways to prevent trips and falls. Your safety as you clean is the most important thing, so make securing the property the first task on your list.
This rule applies both to the property as a whole and for each room you clean. The last thing you want to do is make a difficult job even harder by constantly tracking new dirt and possessions through an area you already cleared.
After cleaning the bathroom, start with the room farthest from the exit. Inside each room, clear possessions that are stacked on top of beds, tables, and other furniture before you start clearing the floor
In most homes with out-of-control hoarding, a large amount of trash quickly starts to accumulate. You can start your clearing efforts with a bang by immediately discarding anything that is obviously trash. Not only does this make your job go faster, it will also give you an early sense of accomplishment.
Once the property has been emptied and any repairs carried out, it’s time to deep clean. Use fresh cleaning equipment, including cloths and wipes, and start from the top in each room. Take down light fixtures and fittings, wash the walls, and follow our spring cleaning guide to restore every room to a fresh, clean state.
In most hoarding properties, the carpet will be damaged beyond saving. However even if it’s still in good condition, it’s a good idea to lift it to check the condition of the flooring underneath. Long-term water damage, mold growth, or rodent infestations can all cause structural damage that will need to be repaired.
