Heavy-duty and
hoarding cleanup
in Philadelphia.
Judgment-free help when a home needs more.
Removal first, then a full deep clean.
Two stages,
one call.
Heavy-Duty Cleanup is a two-stage service for homes where junk and garbage have piled up. Stage one clears the junk and trash out. Stage two is a full deep clean of the home underneath. It isn’t organizing or decluttering, and it starts with an assessment instead of online booking.
We work in every Philadelphia neighborhood and the Pennsylvania suburbs. Sometimes it’s your own home. Often it’s for someone you love.

No explanation needed.
Clear it out.
Then clean it
properly.
Most heavy-duty jobs need two different kinds of work, in the right order. Heavy-Duty Cleanup puts both under one plan.
Junk and garbage removal
The junk, trash and items you don’t want come out of the home first, so every room, floor and surface can be reached. Our team coordinates removal.
- Junk, trash and unwanted items cleared out
- You tell us what stays
- Rooms opened up for the deep clean
The deep clean
Once the rooms are clear, the cleaning professionals deep clean the home using our deep cleaning checklist, every item, every time.
- Baseboards, door frames, switches and handles
- Kitchen and bathrooms top to bottom
- Grout treated, fixtures descaled, floors cleaned
What Heavy-Duty Cleanup doesn’t cover
We clear junk and garbage and deep clean the home. Some situations need a specialized company instead, and it’s better you know that before the assessment.
- Organizing or sorting belongings
- Biohazards
- Bodily fluids
- Pest activity
- Mold beyond surface cleaning
- Moving heavy furniture or appliances
- Carpet shampooing
- Exterior windows
It isn’t organizing
Heavy-Duty Cleanup isn’t organizing or decluttering. We don’t sort or organize belongings. Decide together what stays and what goes before removal day, and tell us anything that must not leave the home.
A hauler can empty a room, and a cleaner can’t clean what’s buried. Heavy-Duty Cleanup does both, in order, so you’re not coordinating two companies on the same house.
Pick by what’s
in the way.
“Heavy-duty” can mean grime or it can mean stuff.
Here’s how to tell which one you need.
It just needs a reset. Every item on the deep cleaning checklist, every time.
Book online.
Extra scrubbing for built-up grime and neglected areas, added to a cleaning you book. It doesn’t include removing anything.
Add it when you book →Removal first, then the deep clean.
Starts with an assessment.
Sort + binWhat it
costs.
Heavy-Duty Cleanup is priced from the assessment, because no two homes need the same work. The price depends on how much has to be removed, the size of the home and its condition once it’s cleared.

Three small floors joined by a winding stair.
Mention it before the assessment.

Tell us where to park and how to get in.
No surprise changes. If the home needs more time than expected, you get options before extra work is added. Nothing is added without your approval.

A little preparation goes a long way for everyone.
- 01Talk about safety first
Lead with what you’re worried about, like falls, blocked exits or missed medication, rather than the stuff itself.
- 02Set aside what matters
Pull out papers, photos, medication and valuables before removal day, and tell us anything that has to stay.
- 03Agree on what goes
We don’t sort or organize belongings. Decide together what leaves the home, so removal day has no surprises.
- 04Name one contact
Pick one person for us to talk to. We stay your central contact for booking, communication and payment.
On the day: walk through before the team leaves and tell us if anything was missed.

Call or text 215.798.7576What is heavy-duty cleanup?
Heavy-Duty Cleanup is a two-stage service: junk and garbage removal first, then a deep clean of the home, sometimes in one day. It’s for homes where clutter and trash have built up past what a regular cleaning can reach. It starts with an assessment rather than online booking.
Do you do hoarding cleanups?
Yes, Heavy-Duty Cleanup is built for hoarding situations as well as homes that simply got away from someone. We remove the junk and garbage you decide goes, then deep clean the home. Biohazards, bodily fluids, pest activity and mold beyond surface cleaning need a specialized remediation company.
Do you organize or sort belongings?
No. Heavy-Duty Cleanup clears junk and garbage and deep cleans the home. It isn’t organizing or decluttering, so decide what stays and what goes before removal day, and tell us anything that must not leave the home. Papers, photos, medication and valuables are best set aside before removal day.
Who removes the junk?
Our team coordinates removal. You have one company to talk to for the whole job, so you’re not coordinating two companies on the same house. Philly’s Clean Team stays your central contact for booking, communication and payment, from the assessment to the last room.
Can it all be done in one day?
Sometimes. Removal and the deep clean can happen on the same day depending on the size of the home and how much has to come out. Your assessment will tell you what to expect, and nothing is added without your approval.
How much does heavy-duty cleanup cost?
Heavy-Duty Cleanup is priced from the assessment. The price depends on how much has to be removed, the size of the home and its condition once it’s cleared. If the home needs more time than expected, you get options before extra work is added.
What’s the difference between Heavy-Duty Cleanup and the Heavy Duty add-on?
The Heavy Duty add-on is extra scrubbing for built-up grime and neglected areas, added to a cleaning you book online. Heavy-Duty Cleanup is a separate service for homes where junk and trash have to be removed before anyone can clean. It starts with an assessment.
I’m arranging this for a parent. Where do I start?
Talk with them about safety first, set aside papers, photos, medication and valuables, and agree together on what leaves the home. Then request an assessment and name one person as our contact. If you’d rather talk it through first, call or text 215.798.7576, 9 AM to 9 PM, every day.
