Hoarding Cleaning & Restoration in Portland, Oregon

Hoarding Cleaning & Restoration in Portland, Oregon

Restore safety, dignity, and livability with compassionate, structured hoarding cleanup in Portland, OR. Golden Broom Cleaning Co. approaches each home with respect and a clear plan—sorting, removing, and sanitizing while protecting valuables and honoring household preferences. Whether you’re helping a loved one, coordinating with a property manager, or preparing a home for sale, our trained team delivers a careful, step-by-step process that puts people first and results in a clean, functional space.

A Compassionate, Privacy-First Approach

Hoarding isn’t just “messy.” It often involves emotional attachments, safety risks, and complex logistics. We work quietly and professionally, maintain strict confidentiality, and move at a pace that balances progress with sensitivity. If you need us to coordinate with family members, caregivers, or a representative, we’ll align roles and communication before work begins.

What Our Hoarding Cleanup Service Includes

• Safety Assessment & Plan
  Identify blocked exits, tripping hazards, and unsanitary areas; outline zones, priorities, and staging areas for items.
• Sort, Save, Donate, Dispose
  Guided sorting with labeled categories: keep, donate, recycle, discard. We protect documents, photos, keepsakes, and essential items.
• Clutter & Debris Removal
  Bagging, boxing, and staging for haul-away; pathways cleared first for safe movement and ventilation.
• Surface Cleaning & Sanitizing
  Kitchens, baths, and high-touch points receive disinfecting; counters, fixtures, and appliances wiped and shined.
• Odor Mitigation (Light–Moderate)
  Targeted treatments for musty or food-related odors; ventilation and HEPA vacuuming to reduce particulates.
• Detail Touches
  Floors vacuumed/mopped, reachable dust removed, and a basic reset so rooms are usable immediately.

Note: For heavy biohazards (human/animal waste, needles, decomposition) or structural issues (mold remediation, repairs), we can coordinate with specialized vendors at your request. We’ll flag these items during the assessment.

Our Step-by-Step Process

1) Consultation & Estimate

We start with a discreet discussion about goals, timelines, budget, and decision-makers. Photos or a brief walkthrough help us size the project. You’ll receive a clear scope with options.

2) Safety First

On arrival, we establish safe pathways, open egress points, and set up PPE and ventilation as needed. We designate a sorting station and protect sensitive areas.

3) Guided Sorting

Room by room, we separate items into clearly labeled categories. When in doubt, we ask. Important papers, medications, legal/financial docs, photos, and heirlooms are prioritized for safekeeping.

4) Removal & Flow

We stage trash, recycling, and donations for pickup or drop-off. If you have a preferred charity or hauling partner, we’ll work with them—or we can arrange it for you.

5) Cleaning & Sanitizing

With the clutter out, we clean kitchens, baths, and high-touch areas; wipe reachable surfaces; and reset essential rooms (bathroom, kitchen, sleeping area) for immediate use.

6) Final Walkthrough & Next Steps

We review results together, identify any maintenance needs, and recommend a light recurring service to help maintain progress if desired.

What to Expect for Timing & Pricing

Every hoarding situation is unique. Cost depends on volume, access (stairs/elevators), hazards, disposal needs, and whether deep cleaning or specialty vendors are involved. We’ll provide tiered options (e.g., essential reset vs. full-home restoration) so you can choose the right level for your goals and budget.

Preparation Tips (Optional)

• Identify a decision-maker who can greenlight keep/donate/dispose choices.
• Set aside must-keep items (IDs, medications, legal docs) before we arrive if possible.
• Let us know if there are pets, limited parking, or HOA rules that affect logistics.
