Client: Private Family Request

Duration: 4 Days

Background
In June 2025, Sophie’s Cleaning Company was contacted by a concerned client regarding a loved one’s property in Bedlington, Northumberland. The house had become overwhelmed by years of compulsive hoarding, rendering most rooms uninhabitable.
The homeowner had recently moved into care, and the family was emotionally overwhelmed by the scale of the task. They turned to us for a solution that was compassionate, efficient, and confidential.
Project Objectives
Safely and respectfully remove hoarded materials
Recover any personal or sentimental belongings
Sanitize and deep-clean all rooms
Ensure biohazard safety standards were met
Prepare the home for eventual resale or rental
Initial Assessment
We conducted a free on-site consultation to assess the situation.
The 2-bedroom home had:
Floor-to-ceiling clutter in every room
Non-functioning kitchen appliances buried under waste
Evidence of rodent activity
Heavy nicotine staining and odours throughout
Blocked plumbing due to improper waste disposal
The emotional weight on the family was clear — this wasn’t just a clean-up, it was the beginning of closure.
Step-by-Step Process
Day 1: Preparation & Safety Measures
Set up PPE: Gloves, masks, hazmat suits
Brought in skip bins and cleared access routes
Installed air purifiers to improve ventilation
Began in the hallway to create a safe working path
Day 2: Systematic Sorting & Clearance
We tackled the living room and kitchen, removing:
Food waste, paper mountains, broken electronics
Hazardous items (sharps, broken glass) safely isolated
Personal items (letters, jewellery, ID) were set aside for the family
We used a 3-tier categorisation system:
Keep & Return
Donate/Recycle
Dispose (licensed waste removal)
Day 3: Bedrooms & Bathroom Deep Clean
Removed stained and mould-infested furniture
Sanitised all surfaces with industrial-grade cleaners
Applied anti-microbial treatment to walls and floors
Dealt with mild black mould under carpets and along skirting boards
Day 4: Final Clean & Deodorising
Full-house ozone treatment to eliminate deep odours
Wall washing, skirting board detailing, and neutralising sprays
Hoovered and steam-cleaned all flooring
Delivered recovered personal items to the family in labelled containers
⚠️ Key Challenges
Emotional sensitivity: A family member visited during the clearance and became distressed; we paused and offered full transparency and emotional space.
Biohazards: Several bags of food waste had decomposed. These were disposed of in line with Northumberland Council regulations.
Access constraints: The back door was jammed shut with clutter and had to be carefully cleared to meet fire safety standards.
✅ Results & Outcome
By the end of the fourth day:
The property was fully cleared, cleaned, and ready for minor repairs.
All odours were neutralised and air quality was safe.
The family recovered dozens of sentimental items they thought were lost.
The home was safe to enter, photograph, and begin preparing for sale.
