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.
Can the house be sold after a cleanout?
Yes. Once it has been cleared and cleaned, and any repairs are done, a home can be listed or returned. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent.
I am overwhelmed. Where do I begin?

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.
Will the neighbors know?
Crews work quietly and handle the job with discretion. Ask about arrival and parking details when you call. If a landlord needs to notify other tenants, that decision belongs to the landlord.
Can the team find and keep valuables?
Teams usually check drawers, closets and pockets for cash, jewelry and papers and set them aside for the family. Tell the crew what to look for, and ask how found items will be returned to you.
