The need for a hoarders cleaning service arises when the clutter reaches a point where it impacts mental and physical well-being.

The Challenge of Hoarding

Hoarders will often face difficulties parting with items, due to emotional attachments, fear and loss or underlying mental health issues. Over time, this behavior can lead to a large amount of clutter which can pose serious health risks. These risks can include, fire hazards, mould growth, and sanitation issues. Attempting to clean or address these issues yourself without professional help can sometimes worsen the problem. It is important that you understand that hoarding is part of a greater issue.

Recognising the Signs

The first step to addressing hoarding, is to recognise the signs of a problematic living situation. The individual may struggle to discard possessions, or their property may now have a large amount of unmanageable clutter. The clutter itself now compromises living spaces, meaning you cannot enter certain rooms or it is difficult to move around each room. Social withdrawal is another common sign. If you notice these signs yourself, or from a loved one, it may be time to consider getting in touch with a hoarders cleaning service.
