Compassion, Science, and Professionalism Backed by Physicians
At PuroClean of Northeast Tucson, we understand that hoarding cleanup is not just a matter of removing clutter — it’s about restoring safety, dignity, and health. Our team is trained directly by the global leaders in forensic restoration, Jeff and Lori Jones of Bio-Sheen Services LLC.
We proudly bring their Microbial Warrior® System of Forensic Restoration® to Tucson, ensuring every job we complete meets the highest standard of scientific precision and compassion.
As the only physician-backed biohazard remediation company in the United States, PuroClean operates with clinical oversight, data-driven testing, and the human understanding necessary to handle even the most complex hoarding situations discreetly and effectively.
What Is Hoarding Cleanup?
Hoarding cleanup is a specialized branch of biohazard remediation that goes far beyond junk removal. It involves removing accumulated debris, waste, and contaminated materials from homes that have become unsafe due to physical limitations, mental health challenges, or years of neglect.
At Bio-Sheen, the philosophy is clear:
“We help families and friends recover properties that have been neglected for various reasons. This category of cleanup is more common than most believe.”
— Bio-Sheen Hoarding Cleanup
These cleanups often require specialized knowledge of pathogen control, structural safety, odor mitigation, and microbial remediation. Without proper training, equipment, and protection, anyone entering a hoarded property risks exposure to bacteria, mold, or biohazards.
That’s why professional, science-based restoration is not optional — it’s essential.
The Hidden Dangers Inside a Hoarded Property
Behind the piles of clutter, a hoarded home often hides real health hazards:
- Bacteria and viruses — including MRSA and E. coli, C.diff (clostridium difficile), C. Auris (candida auris)
- Mold and fungal spores that compromise air quality
- Rodent droppings and pest infestations
- Fire hazards from blocked exits or overloaded outlets
- Ammonia and decomposition gases from waste accumulation
- Structural damage from moisture and neglect
Bio-Sheen emphasizes that professionals must wear full protective clothing and respirators to avoid exposure to these threats. At PuroClean of Northeast Tucson, we take those standards seriously — using hospital-grade disinfectants, HEPA-filtered vacuums, and scientific testing before and after every job.

Our Step-by-Step Hoarding Cleanup Process
1. Initial Consultation and Assessment
A certified PuroClean technician will inspect the home, documenting hazards such as mold, pests, structural damage, and waste accumulation.
We’ll create a risk map and outline our proposed strategy, including PPE requirements and testing.
2. Scope and Cost Estimate
You’ll receive a detailed Scope of Work describing removal, disinfection, deodorization, and testing protocols.
We walk you through every step so you know exactly what to expect — with compassion and transparency.
3. Containment and Safety Setup
Before work begins, we install containment barriers and run negative-air machines with HEPA filtration to prevent airborne contaminants from spreading.
All technicians wear full protective suits, gloves, and respirators.
4. Removal of Unsalvageable Items
Trash, waste, and contaminated materials are safely bagged, sealed, and disposed of at licensed Arizona waste facilities.
Sentimental or salvageable belongings are carefully cleaned and preserved whenever possible.
5. Deep Cleaning and Disinfection
We apply EPA-approved hospital-grade disinfectants to every hard surface — walls, floors, furniture, appliances, and fixtures.
We use HEPA vacuuming and hydroxyl/ozone systems for odor removal and airborne decontamination.
If moisture or mold is detected, we deploy dehumidifiers and conduct follow-up microbial testing.
6. Post-Cleanup Testing and Certification
After cleaning, we perform ATP surface testing and microbial sampling to ensure all biohazards have been neutralized.
The property owner receives a detailed report with photographic documentation and test results.
7. Respectful Restoration and Follow-Up
We understand that hoarding cleanup is emotional. Our team operates with empathy, confidentiality, and care.
We follow up after completion to ensure satisfaction and provide ongoing advice for maintaining a safe, organized home.
