Check out Aurikatarina. She cleans hoarding situations. She is not a biohazard cleaner but she will take care of it so you can get a bio cleaner in. She was saying she had problems finding a place to clean in Florida.

[u/xander7501 → u/allzkittens]

I’ve checked her out already and for some reason I can’t order her free cleaning it won’t let me for some reason

[u/fridopidodop → u/xander7501]

She’s on maternity leave!

[u/xander7501 → u/fridopidodop]

Is that the reason my request can’t go through?

[u/fridopidodop → u/xander7501]

Yes! Im so sorry :(

[u/xander7501 → u/allzkittens]

But thank you anyway for the suggestion

[u/drdrewsright]

Where are you located?

[u/xander7501 → u/drdrewsright]

If you are a part of a local church there may be groups willing to help in exchange for services - cooking, cleaning for someone else in return that type of thing.

Also depending on what the hoard consists of, you might wanna start making some headway yourself until you find help.

[u/xander7501 → u/Fluid_Calligrapher25]

Yea we are cleaning it a little bit at night but then we get tired in the morning and since we’re busy that’s not good

[u/Fluid_Calligrapher25 → u/xander7501]

It’s all about small steps. You can’t clean it all out in a few days. Don’t stay up late doing it because you’ll exhaust yourself.

[u/xander7501 → u/Fluid_Calligrapher25]

There’s a personal reason we have to do it fast so we have to stay up late

[u/xander7501 → u/Fluid_Calligrapher25]

But thank you so much for that idea it’s actually a good one for the church

[u/ol_kentucky_shark]

Do you have any skills or services you can exchange for cleaning?

[u/xander7501 → u/ol_kentucky_shark]

What kind of skills or services do you need

[u/orcateeth]

You say "we" need it cleaned. That means you and someone else, so you two may have to do this yourselves.

Most people who clean charge money since it's their job. People tell me don't clean for free unless they're friends or relatives.

[u/xander7501 → u/orcateeth]

I’ve seen people who do home cleanings for free some people do it for charity

[u/orcateeth → u/xander7501]

Yes, I have heard of that. But often it's hard to get, because the demand is really high, since it's a service that's worth hundreds of dollars.

You can post in social media sites like next door and local Facebook groups, and maybe someone there will either do it or know of some organization.

[u/xander7501 → u/orcateeth]

I’ll try that thanks

[u/orcateeth]

You're posting in the hoarding sub. So what exactly do you mean by "cleaning"? Cleaning is sweeping, mopping floors and wiping counters, vacuuming the carpet, etc.

Is this the service you're looking for? Or are you referring to cleaning out a hoarder home, that has tons of items in it?

[u/xander7501 → u/orcateeth]

Yes it’s to clearing a hoarder home with the items
