Hoarding Cleanup Success Story

Hoarding Cleanup

Linda’s New Beginning:
A Hoarding Cleanup Success Story

This success story incorporates this trigger event: An upcoming grandchild showcases the compassionate approach of the cleanup company, highlights the step-by-step process, and demonstrates the positive impact on the client’s life, resulting in a happy ending.

Linda, a 68-year-old retired teacher, had been struggling with hoarding for over three decades.

Her three-bedroom home in suburban Connecticut was filled to the brim with books, papers, trinkets, and mementos from her teaching career and travels.

The clutter had gradually taken over her living space, leaving only narrow pathways between rooms.

Linda’s expecting her 1st grandchild

The turning point came when Linda’s daughter announced she was expecting her first child

The joy of becoming a grandmother was overshadowed by the realization that her home was too hazardous for a baby to visit. This trigger event forced Linda to confront the reality of her situation.

With a mixture of anxiety and hope, Linda found the courage to call Matthew atPureOne Services. Her hand trembled as she dialed, but Matthew’s warm, understanding voice immediately put her at ease.

“I’m not here to judge, Linda,” Matthew assured her during their initial conversation. “We’re here to help you reclaim your space and your life.”

Matthew arranged a free, confidential consultation at Linda’s home. During the visit, he listened attentively to Linda’s concerns and goals.

Together, they developed a step-by-step plan that respected Linda’s emotional attachment to her belongings while addressing the need for a safer, more livable space.

The cleanup process began with Linda’s living room. Matthew’s team worked alongside Linda, allowing her to make decisions about her possessions at a comfortable pace. They used a compassionate approach, celebrating small victories and taking breaks when Linda felt overwhelmed.

As the process continued, Linda discovered long-lost family photos and her favorite teaching materials. Matthew’s team helped her create a special memory box for these treasured items, ensuring they were preserved while decluttering the space.

Over the course of three weeks, Linda’s home transformed.

The team cleared out truckloads of items, donating what they could and responsibly disposing of the rest. They deep-cleaned each room, repaired minor damages, and even repainted the walls in Linda’s favorite colors.

The result was astounding. Linda’s home was now spacious, organized, and most importantly, safe for her future grandchild. Tears of joy rolled down her cheeks as she walked through her clutter-free rooms.

“I never thought I’d see my home like this again,” Linda said, hugging Matthew. “You’ve given me back my life.”

Matthew’s team didn’t just leave after the cleanup. They provided Linda with strategies to maintain her newly organized space and scheduled follow-up visits to ensure she stayed on track.

Six months later, Linda hosted a baby shower for her daughter in her beautiful, clutter-free home. As she watched her family and friends celebrate in the space she had reclaimed, Linda felt a profound sense of peace and accomplishment.


Linda’s journey with PureOne Services not only transformed her home but also renewed her relationships and zest for life. She now volunteers at local decluttering workshops, sharing her story to inspire others who struggle with hoarding.

“If I can do it, anyone can,” Linda often says. “All it takes is that first call and the right support. Matthew and his team at PureOne Services changed my life, and I’m forever grateful.”
