Hoarding cleanup vs Regular cleanup

Regular cleaning focuses on maintaining a tidy, hygienic home by performing routine tasks like dusting, vacuuming, mopping floors, and cleaning surfaces. It’s usually done weekly or monthly to keep a space fresh and manageable. Regular cleaning deals with surface-level dirt and light clutter — not large accumulations of items or unsafe conditions.

Hoarding cleaning, on the other hand, is a specialized deep-cleaning service designed for homes overwhelmed by excessive clutter, garbage, or possessions. These environments often pose health, safety, and emotional challenges. Hoarding cleanup involves sorting through belongings (often item by item), removing waste, sanitizing the area, and restoring the home to a safe, livable condition. It requires compassion, patience, and often multiple days of work.
