How Does Deceased Estate Cleaning Work?

Deceased estate cleaning is a cleaning service that includes the cleaning and/or preparation for sale, auction or repurposing of the estate of a deceased person. In this case, the cleaning is requested by the person who is entitled to the property by the deceased.

Assessing the Space

First and foremost, the estate that needs to be cleaned needs to be assessed. How many floors there are, how many rooms, bathrooms, furniture and mess there is to clean out. This way, the company charged for the cleaning services knows what to do, where to start and what equipment they need to properly clean the estate.

Addressing Hoarding Spaces

Cleaning companies often deal with hoarding, the accumulation of different and unorganised items in a single space, usually appointed for hoarding. This might be a room, the basement, the attic or any other space in the house. Cleaning out this kind of mess is challenging, but if they know where to start, the process will flow smoothly.

Selling and Auctioning

Deceased estate cleaning services often are in charge of taking care of unwanted objects such as furniture and clothes by selling, donating or auctioning them. This might be a long process but a profitable one because some of the furniture is antique and has a great value.

Hiring a Professional Cleaning Service

Cleaning the house of a deceased family member is emotionally burdening, and this is one of the top reasons why people hire professionals to clean out the estate. This also saves a lot of time and effort especially when you need to deal with other matters concerning the death of your family member.  By hiring a deceased estate cleaning service, you also get most of the value of the objects that used to be in the house that you or your other family members do not need or do not have space for.

Getting Tips for the Entitled Person to the Property

Before trusting the estate to a company to clean out you need to make sure that everything that is important and valuable does not get mixed up with everything else. Make sure to set aside every important document such as licenses, property documentation of the deceased etc. Take time to carefully control everything as people tend to put things in the most unusual places. You should also try to find and keep every memorabilia. Items such as scrapbooks and photo albums are precious to family members and are a testimony to your family's future generations.
