Just one look at the shape and contents of the house might seem overwhelming. A hoarder house renovation is a huge job and before you even get to sell it you may be looking at an all-day job or even a several-day job. Here are a few tips for cleaning up and selling a hoarder home.<\/p>\n<h2>Tip 1: Hoarder House Renovation Self Protection<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/leadpropeller\/images\/content-packs\/hoarding-house-project.jpg\" alt=\"renovate a hoarder house project\" width=\"400\" height=\"268\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It is very important when you start to renovate a hoarder house that you protect yourself and other workers first.

Make sure to wear solid, work shoes and a hard hat is a good idea too. Here are a few things you should make sure are available when you renovate a hoarder house:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>First-aid kit \u2013 in case there are wounds that occur. You\u2019ll also need some over-the-counter pain meds and allergy meds just in case.<\/li>\n<li>Flashlight \u2013 You\u2019ll want to be able to see in every area of the home.<\/li>\n<li>Repellent spray \u2013 often during a hoarder house renovation you may disturb pests that have been taking shelter.<\/li>\n<li>Fire Extinguisher &#8211; If there are any flammable materials in the hoarder\u2019s house, they can catch on fire easily and you\u2019ll need to put it out quickly if this happens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Watch out for sharp objects like knives or broken glass that could cause injury. Call in professionals if you find bio-hazardous materials in the house.<\/p>\n<h2>Tip 2: Gather Tools Needed to Renovate a Hoarder House<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/leadpropeller\/images\/content-packs\/hoarding-house-for-sale.jpg\" alt=\"renovate a hoarder house with tools\" width=\"400\" height=\"268\" \/><br \/>\nThere are a lot of supplies and tools needed for a hoarder house renovation. Cleaning supplies and equipment will be needed to remove trash. Disinfectant will be necessary for cleaning before re-inhabiting the house or selling a hoarder home. And you\u2019ll need tools for making repairs and disassembling items. Take plenty of heavy-duty trash bags, empty boxes, sponges, brooms, mops, buckets, wet wipes, dustpan, a step ladder, Lysol, hand tools, and anything else you can think of. You\u2019ll also need to pay the city an extra fee to rent a large dumpster from sanitation services. That way they can dispose of the trash properly when you are done.<\/p>\n<h2>Tip 3: Make Use of a Staging Area<\/h2>\n<p>Set aside some open space for staging. This area is very useful as it can temporarily store the contents from the house. The rooms, porches, and other areas are likely already cluttered so you\u2019ll need a separate area to use for going through items. If possible, just use the front or backyard. To do this, you\u2019ll also need to ensure the exits are clear to allow for safe entry and exit. This is important for moving things in and out as well as establishing a safe route in case a fire does erupt.<\/p>\n<h2>Tip 4: Cleaning the Hoarder House for Sale or for Re-habitation<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/leadpropeller\/images\/content-packs\/cleaning-hoarder-house.jpg\" alt=\"clean and renovate a hoarder house\" width=\"400\" height=\"268\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve established exit routes and a holding area, it\u2019s time to start cleaning. Start with a small room like a bathroom. Remember that most hoarders are not sanitary, so you\u2019ll want to pay special attention to the kitchen and bathroom areas. Starting in a bathroom will give you a clean area with a supply of water. Once you\u2019ve cleared out smaller rooms, move on to larger rooms saving the closets and storage areas for last. They are usually overflowing with stuff and very disorganized.<\/p>\n<p>Start in other rooms by first removing all the trash. This will be obvious garbage and items that may be too filthy or damaged to be used again. You\u2019ll need to check on local ordinances about discarding things that cannot go into the trash like medications, fuel, oil-based paint, flammable or explosive materials. Lay aside any items that can be recycled and dispose of the rest. Work through a room from top to bottom making sure to check purses and pockets for forgotten cash or jewelry. Take all the clutter out of the room and move large furniture such as couches and appliances so you can clean the premises completely. In some cases, it may be best to pay up front for a professional cleaning company to clean and sanitize the house.<\/p>\n<p>Keep an eye out for items that are salvageable. Family heirlooms, documents, artwork and other items that may be valuable or necessary should be kept. Clean items that will be donated.<\/p>\n<h2>Tip 5: Save Time, Effort and Money by Selling a Hoarder Home to a Cash Buyer<\/h2>\n<p>It takes time, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clutterhoardingcleanup.com\/hoarding-cleanup-costs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">money<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and effort to renovate a hoarder house.\u00a0 It is useful to know how to sell a hoarder home and safe yourself all the hassle.
