When you or someone that you love struggles with hoarding, it can be difficult on everyone. The thought of cleaning out a house where hoarding has been prevalent can seem like a job too large to tackle. This can be debilitating for both the hoarder and their family. It is important that you understand hoarding is a mental health struggle with serious emotions tied to it. Rolys Dumpster Rental is here to share some tips to help make your hoarder clean out a success.

How to Successfully Clean Out a House a Hoarder has Lived In

Working to clean out a house that a hoarder has lived in is a large job. It is one that you want to plan out first. Here are our best tips:

• Enlist Professional Help: The first thing that you want to do is to get the help of a professional. You will want someone who specializes in working with people who struggle with hoarding. This will be helpful as they work with the individual and help them heal from whatever trauma has caused the hoarding in the first place.
• Rent a Dumpster: Before you get started, you want to have a dumpster rental onsite to help you get rid of some of the trash that you are sure to find in the house. When you have it there and ready, you will find that the process goes much smoother. You won’t have to take any loads of trash to the local landfill, you can rely on the dumpster rental company to get rid of the trash for you.
• Have Support: The person struggling with hoarding tendencies is going to need support before, during and after the process. Family can be a valuable tool in helping someone overcome the urge to hoard. When families work with professionals, there is more success.
• Methodically Clean: There are usually strong emotions ties to the things in a hoarder’s house. It is important that you methodically go through each house and each item with someone struggling wit this mental health issue. As you work a little at a time, you will find that it is easier for everyone to get rid of items that are no longer making the space safe to live in.
• Create Functionality: A house that is filled to the brim with stuff isn’t functional. As you remove items from the house, you will find that functionality can be regained. Creating a functional place for your loved one to live is important. You will want to make sure you have some storage systems in place to help them keep their things a little more organized moving forward too.
