Trying to organize and declutter when you’re a hoarder, packrat, or clutter bug is a lot like fighting an uphill battle…in a tornado…while wearing a parachute. What I’m saying is, decluttering for hoarders ain’t easy. But, with hard work, dedication, and a hefty dose of patience, it is possible.
Clutter has a way of multiplying when we aren’t looking. It piles up secretly, behind closed doors. For hoarders, (or people with hoarding tendencies), clutter often takes the form of trash, broken and unusable objects, or collections gone wild. A hoarder’s home is rarely just a little bit messy. It’s often unsafe, unsanitary, and, in some cases, unlivable.
Here are ten life-changing decluttering tips for hoarders, packrats, and clutter bugs.
1.) GET HELP
Help for hoarders can come in many forms. First and foremost, if you suspect you (or someone close to you) is a hoarder, please seek counseling. Having a professional, licensed counselor on your side will allow you to process the grief of letting things go in a healthy way. Once you’ve secured a counselor, you should find a trusted person (or people), whether it’s a spouse, friend, or another family member who can help with the decluttering process. It’s important to know that you are not in this alone! People will help if you reach out to them.
2.) STOP THE INFLOW OF STUFF Expecting a hoarder to completely stop the inflow of stuff is unrealistic and has the potential to backfire in the form of binge shopping sprees. Instead, if you or someone you love is a hoarder, the goal should be to simply rid your home of more items than you bring in. Aim for more decluttering days and fewer shopping days.
3.) START SMALL As tempting as it may be to want to ‘help’ a hoarder by decluttering their entire home in a weekend, doing so could cause PTSD-like symptoms which could result in a rapid escalation of hoarder tendencies. Even if you’re an ‘all-or-nothing’ kind of person (I can relate), it’s important to take baby steps (one tabletop, one corner of a room, one drawer) in the beginning in order to maintain the momentum. Work inch by inch, then foot by foot, and finally, room by room until you reach your goals.
4.) CLEAR A PATH The first thing you should do when decluttering a hoarder’s home is to clear walking paths leading to and from the key living areas in the home. These key areas are the kitchen, bathrooms, and sleeping areas. Safe navigation is vital when decluttering. After all, you won’t be able to clear the clutter until you can actually get to the clutter.
5.) START WITH TRASH This is where family and friends can be helpful to a hoarder. Many hoarders do not trust other people to touch their stuff. They fear things will be thrown out without their knowledge, or even ‘stolen’ out from under them. If you are helping a hoarder declutter, start by asking them for their permission to discard items that are clearly trash such as empty cans, food wrappers, and used paper towels. This will not only build trust between you and them, but it will also free-up the homeowner so they can focus on decluttering more sentimental items.
6.) FOCUS ON SAFETY The most critical areas to declutter in a hoarder (or packrat’s) home are the kitchen, bathrooms, and sleeping areas. Equally as important is to clear safe pathways required to travel back and forth from these spaces. If you are helping a hoarder declutter remind them that the ultimate goal is not to get rid of all of their stuff, it’s to make their home safe for them to live in. As such, they need a kitchen clean and uncluttered enough to prepare meals in, a functioning bathroom for hygiene purposes, and somewhere safe and clean to sleep.
7.) STAY MOTIVATED The best way to stay motivated when decluttering is to limit the amount of time spent on each decluttering session. It can help to set a timer and work in 15-minute increments several days in a row rather than having a single marathon decluttering session after which you are too exhausted to continue for several more days. Another way to stay motivated as you declutter is to take before and after photos. This will help you visually track your progress which is extremely rewarding. Decluttering doesn’t have to be boring! You can listen to uplifting music, take frequent breaks, or treat yourself to a favorite beverage (wine, anyone?). Challenge yourself to declutter a certain number of items in a set period of time, play a game and declutter only blue items…or purple…or white, be creative while you work as long as it helps you stay motivated.
8.) STAY FOCUSED Many people with clutter issues also suffer from attention deficiencies. Meaning, it’s harder for them to stay focused than it is for the average person. The best way to deal with distractions is to turn off notifications on your phone, avoid watching tv while you declutter, and make quick decisions as you sort. Do NOT allow yourself a ‘maybe’ pile! The words ‘maybe’ and ‘one day’ should be avoided at all costs when decluttering! Also, make a point to donate and discard items immediately after the completion of a decluttering session. Remove them from the home ASAP. When you come across a valuable item you wish to sell, place it in a separate box to be priced and listed at a later time. Seal the box at the end of the session in order to avoid reclaiming any of its contents.
9.) GIVE YOURSELF GRACE You didn’t wake up to a cluttered home overnight. Therefore, you shouldn’t expect the clutter to disappear overnight. When it comes to eliminating clutter from your home, cut yourself some slack. Don’t let feelings of guilt, remorse, or anger stop you from decluttering. These are all perfectly normal, expected responses which absolutely should be felt, however, be cautious not to dwell on them or they can quickly become stumbling blocks. If you find yourself unable to make decisions, take a brief break. Walk around the block to clear your head. Then, begin again when you are ready.
10.) HIRE A PROFESSIONAL When all else fails, you may want to hire a professional to declutter your home. This is especially helpful if the home poses a health hazard or is structurally unsound. The average cost to clear and clean a hoarder’s home varies depending on the amount of clutter, the location of the home, as well as the overall safety of the home. The average cost for clutter removal with Extended Arms Cleaning Contractors varies depending on the level of hoard. It’s important to know that waste removal often does not include professional cleaning for hoarder homes. Hoarding cleaning service cost in Memphis TN is based on a number of things.

Hoarding can range from very minor to very severe. Extreme Hoarding Cleanup and Animal Hoarding Cleanup situations are those where the hoarding has gotten to the point where hallways and bathrooms have been blocked off and are no longer accessible; beds, tables and other furniture have been buried under trash or other debris, etc. Usually odors from rotten food, human and animal waste and other unidentifiable odors have permeated the property. To the untrained eye, there is no hope for these situations. But to us, there is always hope.
Extreme hoarding is not something to be embarrassed about. You’re not the first and you won’t be the last. Extreme hoarding is a disease that is suffered by thousands of people all across the US. Most people inflicted with extreme hoarding impulses don’t even realize they have a problem, or if they do, they’re just too overwhelmed to do anything about it. In our experience, it is not often that a hoarder comes forward seeking help. It is usually a relative or close friend of the hoarder who has taken the situation into their own hands and has sought the help the extreme hoarder needs.
We realize that opening your house to an extreme hoarding cleanup company is a huge step. Even if the hoarder is not cured, it’s a very big step on the road to recovery. So, it is important that you are comfortable with our crews and our company so that we can work together to help you get things back in order.
