【Documentary of Decluttering】Heartwarming Stories of Cleaning a House Lived in for 50 Years 

A Heartwarming Documentary on Estate Cleanout: Clearing a Home of 50 Years
This video captures the process of an estate cleanout for a home where a family lived for 50 years. The client’s father, who lived alone in the house after the family had moved out, passed away last June. Having been a long-time viewer of our RU-vid channel, the client reached out to Eevee for assistance.
The sudden loss of their father was a significant shock, causing the client to fall ill and delaying the cleanout process by about six months from the initial estimate to the actual work. During this time, the client gradually started organizing the belongings, taking the opportunity to sort through both the physical items and their emotions.
In this video, we include an interview with the client to provide a detailed account of the cleanout process. The client shared memories tied to various items from their childhood, expressing feelings of sadness. However, with a desire to preserve these memories, they requested that we document the process in a video. Eevee was honored to fulfill this request.
The main tasks we carried out include:
Cleaning out the Western-style room
Cleaning out the Japanese-style room
Cleaning the kitchen
Sorting and disposing of items (large appliances like display shelves and refrigerators, a kotatsu, entrance tools, racks, dressers, and study desks)
Organizing the dish cupboard
Organizing the closets
Transporting items
This house is a 2-story, 2LDK residence, and the work took approximately 3 hours. A team of 7 employees collaborated to ensure the cleanout proceeded smoothly.
The video provides an in-depth look at the client's motivations for requesting the cleanout and how we carried out the task. We handled the items imbued with the father’s memories with care and empathy, aiming to support the client’s emotional needs throughout the process. This documentary is intended to offer valuable insights for others in similar situations.
We invite you to watch and understand the importance of estate cleanouts and the benefits of professional assistance. We look forward to your viewership.
