A Difficult Task
Cleaning out a loved one's home is one of the hardest things you'll do. It's physically exhausting and emotionally draining. There's no rushing it, but there is a way to make it manageable.
Take Your Time With Sentimental Items
Before any cleanout, go through the home slowly and set aside items with sentimental value — photos, letters, jewelry, heirlooms. This is not the time to rush.
Get Help
Don't try to do this alone. Whether it's family members, friends, or professional help, having support makes a huge difference.
A Practical Approach
Week 1: Walk Through and Document
Go through each room and note what needs to stay, what can be donated, and what needs to be removed.
Week 2: Remove Valuables and Keepsakes
Take home anything you want to keep. Store it safely before the cleanout begins.
Week 3: Donate What You Can
Contact local charities about furniture, clothing, and household item donations. Many will pick up directly.
Week 4: Schedule the Cleanout
Once valuables and donations are handled, schedule professional junk removal for everything else.
