How do you clean out a loved one's home?
Start by setting aside papers, photos and valuables. Then sort the rest by room into keep, donate, sell and dispose, and clean the home last. A cleanout team can do the heavy parts while you decide what matters. Photos of each room help family members decide from far away.
Can the team find and keep valuables?
Teams usually check drawers, closets and pockets for cash, jewelry and papers and set them aside for the family. Tell the crew what to look for, and ask how found items will be returned to you.
Can a cleanout team clean the house too?
Yes. Many estate cleanout teams sweep and clean floors, kitchens and bathrooms after the contents are gone. If biohazard work is needed, ask whether the same team can do it, so access and timing stay simple.
