Dwellings can be unkempt occasionally. But if it becomes the norm and starts affecting well-being, then it's time to assess the problem. In most cases, this happens because a loved one is not yet fully aware that they struggle to let go of long-unused possessions. If you see the following signs, find solutions with your loved one and schedule clutter cleanup services.

3 Signs Your Loved One Is a Hoarder

1. Anxiety When Discarding Possessions

Your loved one may feel an urge to save anything set to be thrown away, thinking they may be able to use these items in the future. Because they don’t see this as a problem, a clutter cleanup may stress them out. In this case, it’s best to seek a medical professional, as your loved one may have a hoarding disorder.

2. Valueless, Unused Items

If your loved one gathers items that hold no value, such as newspapers, flyers, and old containers, in their room, this is the most apparent sign that they may be a hoarder. When pieces of furniture disappear under piles of valueless belongings, leaving only narrow pathways to move from one place to another, there is a risk of injury if they fall or knock over a stack. If conditions are unsafe, clutter cleanup is a priority.

3. Difficulty Categorizing & Organizing

Many people with messy surroundings can still find items they need. Hoarders, on the other hand, are uncertain about where they keep their belongings. Often, objects are randomly stacked or tossed in a corner, resulting in an unsanitary home.
