Hoarding Cleaning Service Staten Island and Brooklyn, NY

Hoarding is a very serious mental disorder that causes behaviors that lead to dangerous living conditions. Those who struggle with hoarding have a high level of anxiety that makes it very difficult for them to part with any objects that have come into the home. As a result, the home becomes cluttered with objects like newspapers, stacks of boxes, large appliances, and sometimes animals. Extreme clutter creates a dangerous situation because the piles of objects could cause injuries, block off rooms and exits, increase the risk of a fire, and allow for the growth of mold or bacteria.

Hoarders themselves rarely start the cleaning process of their own homes because they are embarrassed by the conditions they have created. Someone who the individual trusts must talk to them about the importance of cleaning the home for their own safety to get the process started. As the hoard of items expands, moving around the home becomes much more difficult which can be extremely dangerous if there is a fire.
