Hoarder and Extreme Cleaning

Recently around 90% of our work has been COVID related but as well as this we have been carrying out our usual extreme cleaning, trauma, and biohazard cleaning jobs too.

Over the years we have seen our fair share of tough situations but some stick longer in my mind.

Just the other day we got a call from a landlord who had been left with no option but to evict their tenants in part due to their hoarding issues.

When we got there to do the job we were greeted by not only mountains of rubbish and items that had been accumulated over time but also of rotten food and even the occasional rodent.

Unfortunately, this is a sight I have grown accustomed to having gone through many of these extremeenvironmental cleans.

What I did not expect to see was people putting themselves and others at risk by rummaging through the contaminated waste that we had put outside the property.

Apart from the obvious risks, these people had no idea what had gone on in the house and whether there were sharps or other items that could injure them.

It was a little heart-breaking if I am honest that even in this day in age people are still in this state of despair and a little ignorance to the plight of others.

It reminded me that no matter what we are going through we always should be thankful for what we are fortunate enough to have in our lives.
