Ian CheesemanMy aunt used to be a hoarder. Yep, for years, her home was packed wall to wall with so-called “treasures” she couldn’t let go of: clothes from decades ago, broken appliances, old newspapers, magazines—the whole shebang.
Everything changed after we hired professional hoarding cleanup services. Suddenly, she had the support and practical help she needed to turn over a new leaf.
The experience showed me how life-changing the right team can be.
This is why I’ve put together this guide to the top hoarding cleanup services Toronto has to offer. They’ll be sure to help you or your loved ones by providing a safe, livable home.
How much do hoarding cleanup services cost in Toronto?
Hoarding cleanup services in Toronto cost $1,000 to $10,000 or more.
The cost depends on the size of the home, the level of clutter, and whether biohazard cleanup is required.
1. God’s Cleaning Crew
Business Address: 1000 King Street W
Website: https://www.godscleaningcrew.ca/
LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/gods-cleaning-crew
Contact Details: +1 888-679-9116
Business Hours: Mon – Sun: Open 24 hours
God’s Cleaning Crew has been handling hoarding cleanup for over five years. When names like Tim Hortons, the Ontario Ministry of Labor, and the Canadian Mental Health Association trust their services, you know they’re doing something right.
The process starts with an assessment of the clutter or squalor. From there, they put together a clear plan that outlines the timeline and specific tasks they need to perform.
They separate items into three categories: keep, donate, or sell. Afterward, they thoroughly disinfect the space, and in tougher cases, use specialized equipment for biohazard cleaning.
While they’re said to be a tad pricey, they’ll be happy to beat any competitor’s price.
Very polite and respectful during the entire process
“My husband and I were very pleased with the extreme hoarding clean up and extreme cleaning that was done on his late cousin’s home. Adam, Sam, and the cleaning crew were very polite and respectful during the entire process. The prices were good, and I recommend their services.”

Made the place clean and habitable again
“We hired God’s Cleaning Crew to clean my sister’s place, which had become overrun with garbage, soiled clothes, broken furniture, and cockroaches. The three guys who showed up cleaned for 10 hours straight and made the place clean and habitable again. They removed every piece of trash and scrubbed every surface. The change was miraculous. What a hardworking and compassionate company. Highly recommended.”

True to its name, Toronto Hoarding and Disaster Solutions is a go-to for restoring homes and making them livable again.
Everything begins with an assessment and planning stage, so there’s a clear roadmap before any work begins. From there, they tackle sorting and removal, making sure items are categorized and dealt with responsibly.
Then, they clean the space and use specialized deodorizers and advanced air purification techniques to improve indoor air quality.
What’s cool is that they don’t stop there. They conduct a final inspection and provide guidance to help clients maintain a clutter-free lifestyle and reduce the risk of relapse.
Just keep in mind that they might not respond as quickly as you might like.
Non-judgmental during a very difficult time
“Your team was non-judgmental during a very difficult time. It didn’t matter the situation, you came in with a purpose to resolve the problem. We were left with sparkling surfaces. Thank you.”

Very fast and professional response
“Very fast and professional response, they took good care of the house! Called after finding out about a tenant hoarder during a sewage backup, they came in, cleaned everything, and removed all the junk. They also removed some of the drywall that had mold because of the tenant’s junk, and treated wood studs. Very organised and polite. Highly recommended, and whenever needed, I´ll surely use their services again!”

3. Crime & Trauma Scene Cleaners

MapQuest: https://www.mapquest.com/ca/ontario/crime-trauma-scene-cleaners-inc-456028611
Contact Details: (416) 222-0800

Since 1974, Crime & Trauma Scene Cleaners has been handling squalor and hoarding house cleanings, efficiently removing gross filth and strong odors from humans or pets.
Their trained technicians are certified to handle dangerous biohazardous infectious materials (WHMIS Class D, Division 3). This means they’re prepared for situations that go beyond typical cleaning jobs.
They use state-of-the-art products and techniques that attack odors at the molecular level, giving homes a truly fresh start. Unlike other companies, they even manage airborne infectious material, which can be caused by pets, birds, or rodents.
While the quality of the cleaning itself is highly rated, we heard that their communication and customer support could definitely use improvement. Unfortunately, some customers have requested follow-ups with no response.
Thank you for being my savior
“David came into my life when I needed it the most. He was professional, he was thorough, and he made sure I understood every step that needed to be taken and helped me through it. His team (Adrien and Joe) was very respectful. Adrien worked extremely hard to ensure he got the job done right and in a timely manner. When you need help and don’t know where to begin-call David (or Christian). I highly recommend them. Thank you for being my savior.”
Bobbi Buckley, Google Review
Team was extremely courteous
“David and his team did a phenomenal job. I cannot thank them enough. From the first conversation I had with David, it was a pleasant experience, and his kindness and professionalism made the process quick, easy, and smooth. After the arrangements were made, David wasted no time getting the job done. All I had to do was set up a lockbox, and within a few hours came back to a spotless property. David and his team were extremely courteous and made sure not to take anything that they shouldn’t have. If the situation ever came up, I wouldn’t think twice to use them again and be more than happy to refer them to my clients and anyone in need of their service.”

4. Total Estate Services
Business Address: 287 Bering Ave, Etobicoke
Website: https://totalestateservices.ca/
Yelp: https://www.yelp.ca/biz/total-estate-services-burlington
Contact Details: (905) 912-5368
Business Hours: Mon – Sun: Open 24 hours
Total Estate Services has been around since 2012, and in that time, they’ve supported hundreds of families through challenging situations.
Along with cleaning and clearing out hoarded spaces, they provide donation and auction services, which not all companies do. These will help recycle belongings or recoup money to offset the costs of repairs and replacements.
For items that cannot be saved, they safely handle and dispose of soiled items, materials beyond repair, hazardous waste, and medical containers. This focus on safety and compliance makes them a reliable choice for sensitive or dangerous cleanups.
The company offers a free, no-obligation estimate, which is always a plus if you’re considering multiple options. But be forewarned—we heard that their responsiveness can be lacking at times.
One of the best service providers I have hired!
“Total Estate Services is one of the best service providers I have hired! They are responsive, efficient, knowledgeable, hardworking, and honest! On the first day, I was handed an envelope of cash that was found in a drawer – that’s incredible honesty and integrity. When they curated lots for the web auction, I couldn’t believe that people would buy that stuff! And buy it they did! These guys know what they are doing. I can’t recommend this company enough! Thanks so much, Todd and Linda… you are the best!”

Thorough evaluation and a full cleaning at the end
“An amazing experience cleaning a full house lived in for thirty years. Professional service, timely communications, thorough evaluation of the contents, and a full cleaning at the end. Everything ran smoothly, and I had full confidence in the results. Todd and Lynda were so knowledgeable. I know we sold many things at auction for more than I would have ever guessed. They even helped sell the car. Highly recommend this service.”

5. GTA Clean
Business Address: 5000 Yonge St, Suite 1901
Website: https://www.gtaclean.ca/
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gtaclean/
Contact Details: (416) 342-5655
Business Hours: Mon – Fri: 9 AM – 7 PM
Sat – Sun: 9 AM – 5 PM
GTA Clean is known for handling hoarding cleanup with empathy, discretion, and professionalism. They collaborate with everyone involved—family members, property managers, landlords, lawyers, social workers, and mental health pros.
The team kicks off by assessing risks and property damage, followed by setting up safe workstations for sorting and cleaning. Then, using ULV fogging with disinfectants, they tackle bacteria and odors to create a healthier environment.
We appreciate the care they put into handling valuable or sentimental items. Instead of sweeping everything away, they sort and sanitize family photos, heirlooms, trophies, and other memorabilia.
If carpet or flooring is contaminated beyond repair, they’ll pull it up and decide on the best sanitation method, such as thermal fogging or electrostatic disinfectant.
Of course, these advanced techniques come at a cost, so plan accordingly.
Showed the perfect amount of compassion to our client
“We hired GTA Clean to help our client with a severe hoarding job. They were very professional, showing the perfect amount of compassion to our client. We were working on a very tight timeline, and Tracey, Chad, Suzie & the rest of their team went above and beyond to complete the job. Tracey has a work ethic like no other and truly has a heart of gold & puts the needs of the client above all! Suzie and Chad were masterful at logistics, timing, and coordinating the entire job. Chad worked his magic with his truck mount, and we were blown away by how clean everything was when the job was complete. Suzie, being right on top of everything, ensured a smooth and seamless process. Thanks to the entire team for all their hard work!! GTA Clean exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend their services!!”

I was extremely satisfied with the work done
“GTA Property Service Group Inc. was the first and only agency to respond to my need for cleaning up the contents of a large condo, which had been the site of a major hoarding problem. The team members set up the necessary steps for getting an incredibly difficult job done. I received an accurate and fair estimate of the job before they started. They presented a very detailed account of what needed to be done and the special equipment, time, and personnel needed. The honest, incredibly hardworking team kept me informed of all the work as it progressed. I am forever grateful to them. I was extremely satisfied with the work done and very thankful that GTAClean was available to do such a difficult job. Highly recommended!”
