What is the best way to clean out my parents' home after their death?
Go slowly and begin with safety and paperwork. Secure documents, jewelry and photos first. Then work room by room, and ask a team to help with lifting, hauling and cleaning. Take breaks. Nothing says the whole house must be done in one weekend.
Is the home safe to enter after a death?
Most are, but not all. If the person died alone and was found after some time, fluids can soak into floors and furniture. Spoiled food, mold, pests and needles can also be present. If you are unsure, do not clear the area yourself.
What if the death was unattended and the home needs biohazard cleanup first?
Then biohazard cleanup comes before sorting. A team removes affected materials, cleans, disinfects and treats odor. After that, the home can be sorted safely. Many teams can do both parts, so ask when you call.
What if there is hoarding or a lot of clutter?
A cluttered home takes more time, and the sorting needs even more care. Crews set up safe paths, look for hazards and sort slowly. Ask the team what extra steps apply to dense contents.
