Hoarding cleanup is the safe clearing and cleaning of a home that has too many belongings to use as intended. A cleanup team opens exits, sorts items with the resident, hauls away what is released and cleans and disinfects. It is done at the resident's pace.
Hoarding is often described in levels, and level one is the lightest. Clutter is present but exits and pathways are open, utilities work and rooms can still be used. Higher levels bring blocked rooms, sanitation problems and safety hazards.
