Begin with one call and one room. Ask a team what the steps are, and decide only what you must today. You can pause at any point. If the grief feels like too much, 988 offers support by call or text at any hour.
Can the house be sold after a cleanout?

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 not to do after a parent dies?
Do not rush to clear the house, and do not throw anything away before checking for papers, valuables and keepsakes. Do not make large decisions in the first days. Ask for help, and ask an attorney before disposing of anything with legal weight.
How do you clean out a loved one's home?
Start by setting aside papers, photos and valuables. Then sort the rest by room into keep, donate, sell and dispose, and clean the home last. A cleanout team can do the heavy parts while you decide what matters. Photos of each room help family members decide from far away.
Who is responsible for cleaning out an apartment after a death?
Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain what applies. The tenant's family or estate usually has to clear belongings by a set date, and a team can work to that deadline.
