About this site
Hoarder Cleaning Company explains hoarding cleanup in plain, kind words, for people living with a crowded home and for the families who worry about them, and gives them one private way to reach a provider when they are ready.
This site connects you with independent hoarding cleanup providers near you. It does not do the cleanup itself.
What this site is
This site connects people with independent hoarding cleanup providers. It is not a cleanup company and does not do the work. It does not employ cleaners, send crews, set prices or give estimates. Providers who reply to a request are independent businesses who set their own prices and are responsible for their own work. Hoarder Cleaning Company may receive compensation from participating providers.
The site does not rate, rank or review providers, and it does not vouch for any of them. Before you agree to any work, ask the provider the questions on our house cleaning guide, get the estimate in writing and check that they are registered for trauma scene work if your state requires it and the job involves blood or body fluids.
What happens when you send a request
The request form asks only what a provider needs to understand the job: your first name, a way to reach you, a ZIP code or city, who is asking, the type of property and a rough sense of the job. It never asks for health details, a diagnosis or photos. Your request goes privately to an independent provider near you, for this job only. Sending it is free and books nothing. You decide whether to talk further. The privacy policy explains what happens to your details.
How these pages are written
Each page is researched from public sources: the American Psychiatric Association, the International OCD Foundation, the National Institute of Mental Health, the CDC, the EPA, OSHA, the National Fire Protection Association, the ASPCA and government agencies such as the Administration for Community Living. Health facts are given as general information with their source named, never as a diagnosis or medical advice.
We write about people with respect. Hoarding disorder is a recognized health condition, so these pages use person-first language and leave out words that mock or shame. The word hoarder appears where people search for it, in titles and the site’s name, and not as a label for a person. We do not show before-and-after photos of real homes, and the photographs on the site are scenery, not clients.
What this site will not do
- Promise that insurance will pay for a cleanup
- Tell anyone to clear a home without the person’s consent
- Give legal, medical or financial advice
- Publish prices of its own, or rank providers
If you or someone you love is struggling or in crisis, you can call or text 988, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. It is free and confidential. To reach this site, use the contact page.
Ask privately, when you are ready
