1st Hoarding Clean Up featured on Hoarders:Canada

We are pleased to announce that 1st Hoarding CleanUp has been selected by Blue Ant Media, a renowned TV production company, for the Vancouver episode of Hoarders:Canada, which premiered on Makeful TV on April 29, 2023.

Episode 9 and 10 (Aired on April 29, 2023) center on Darlene from Burnaby, British Columbia, whose hoarding problem has gotten so severe that there is no longer a place inside her house where she can sleep, so she had to set up a rudimentary tent in the backyard.

Darlene’s self-titled “mystical mess” has pushed her out the door and into a freezing-cold bedroom on the porch; the team helps the New Age believer regain control and restore good vibes in her home.

We genuinely appreciate Blue Ant Media’s confidence in 1st Hoarding Clean Up, which allowed us to work together on this project and return Darlene’s lost space.

If you know someone who suffers from a hoarding disorder you can reach out to Hoarders:Canada and nominate them to be featured on the show and get a complimentary hoarding clean up.

What is a hoarding disorder? Decluttering will help lift the burden from your shoulders.

Are you or a loved one having difficulties getting rid of clutter, or experiencing hoarding issues that are impacting your life?

At 1st Hoarding Clean Up we understand what some folks experience and we know how to help overcome the burden and stress that hoarding places put on individuals and families. Aside from mental concerns, there are physical risks due to tripping hazards or collapsing piles of paper, or books, and in some cases fire risks.

Decluttering a home is working together with the person to help them understand we are not there to simply enter a home and throw everything out. Some possessions accumulated over the years have a deep sentimental value and we respect that. These objects are kept to create a connection with happy memories and moments in their lives. A big part of our job is to show compassion and we take the utmost care to respect your home and your items.

At the end of the day, what really matters is to improve your quality of life while getting rid of the clutter.

If you need help with decluttering, feel free to contact us. We provide a discreet and professional service in the Lower Mainland. Contact us by clicking here or talk to one of our compassionate specialists at 1-855-468-2588 (1-855-GOT-CLUTTER).
