When tackling hoarding cleanouts, safety remains the top priority, along with treating individuals respectfully. Professional hoarding specialists understand that clients struggle with hoarding tendencies, not laziness. Below, Super Junk details proper gear for sensitively clearing clutter while protecting ourselves:
Hoarders' homes often contain unhygienic elements like mould, rodents or rotting garbage. Wear thick rubber gloves for picking through piles. Avoid direct skin contact and thoroughly wash hands afterward. Double gloving adds extra protection when hauling obvious trash like food waste or animal feces.
Dust, debris and even broken glass get unearthed when excavating a hoarder's home. Shield eyes from particles with sealed goggles to prevent injury or irritation. Safety glasses with clear or tinted lenses both suffice depending on lighting conditions. Just ensure that you select a securely fitted, protective pair.
Wading through the clutter requires sturdy footwear that can withstand stepping on sharp objects. Tightly-laced steel-toe boots provide essential protection from smashed materials under piles. Waterproof varieties also guard if you’re dealing with liquid spills or leaks underneath stuff.
For large-scale hoarding cleanouts with excessive garbage or biohazardous waste, hazmat suits ensure full-body coverage. These fully sealed outfits prevent contamination from toxins, bacteria, or chemicals when immersed in extreme clutter. Professional cleaning companies like Super Junk own various sizes to outfit crew members appropriately based on unique hoarding conditions.
