Cleaning out a loved one's home is as much emotional as physical. A good cleanout team goes at the family's pace, sets keepsakes aside and does not rush.

A typical estate cleanout after a death job includes:

  • Removal of furniture, appliances and household contents
  • Records of what was found and removed, if the family asks for them
  • Cleanout of apartments and rental units to a set move-out date
  • Sorting of belongings into keep, donate, sell and dispose piles with the family
  • Biohazard cleanup and odor removal first when the death was unattended

How an Estate Cleanout Works in Inwood, San Antonio, TX

1. Starting with photos

For families who live far away, the team shares photos or video of each room so decisions can be made by phone.

2. Careful sorting

Belongings are grouped by room and type, and anything that looks valuable or personal is flagged for the family.

3. Clearing and cleaning

Belongings leave the home in an order that matches the family's decisions, and floors and surfaces are cleaned as rooms empty.

4. Cleaning and handback

The home is cleaned, checked and handed back empty, ready for a sale, a rental or the next step.

Questions Families Ask About Cleaning Out a House After a Death in Inwood, San Antonio, TX

Does the Texas Crime Victims' Compensation Program pay for any of this?

Only when the death involved a crime, and only for crime scene clean-up. The program pays up to $2,250 for crimes after July 14, 2016. Insurance is used first, and claims must be filed within three years. Questions go to the Attorney General's office at (800) 983-9933.

Can the team find and keep valuables?

Teams usually check drawers, closets and pockets for cash, jewelry and papers and set them aside for the family. Tell the crew what to look for, and ask how found items will be returned to you.

What if the death was unattended and the home needs biohazard cleanup first?

Then biohazard cleanup comes before sorting. A team removes affected materials, cleans, disinfects and treats odor. After that, the home can be sorted safely. Many teams can do both parts, so ask when you call.

What is the best way to clean out my parents' home after their death?

Go slowly and begin with safety and paperwork. Secure documents, jewelry and photos first. Then work room by room, and ask a team to help with lifting, hauling and cleaning. Take breaks. Nothing says the whole house must be done in one weekend.

Can a cleanout team clean the house too?

Yes. Many estate cleanout teams sweep and clean floors, kitchens and bathrooms after the contents are gone. If biohazard work is needed, ask whether the same team can do it, so access and timing stay simple.

What safety standards apply if biohazard cleanup is needed?

Workers who work with blood and body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Ask any team how it disposes of waste.
