What is stopping you from getting the clutter in your home under control? It might be that you’re overwhelmed—and that’s okay. Maintaining and cleaning a home is a huge task. When you’re trying to do it by yourself amid many other responsibilities, you might not be able to do it all.
Fortunately, you don’t have to do it yourself. There are many support systems out there to help you manage your home. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you can reach out for help.
Family members are often the first ones to step in when you need extra hands. If you live with a partner, children, or other family members, they should already be taking on a share of the housework as appropriate to their age and health status.
Friends and other family members are also often willing to lend a hand to help with a limited-scope cleaning project, such as:
If you find yourself facing any of these, you could ask a loved one for help.
Sometimes, you might need more help with your house than your friends and/or family are able to give—and it’s important to realize that’s completely okay! There are many different types of people who can help you get your house under control when it gets overwhelming.
If your schedule makes it difficult to stay on top of cleaning tasks, hiring a house cleaner can take some of the burden off your shoulders. You can hire them to come on a set schedule, like weekly or monthly, or schedule a cleaning every now and then when you need extra help—or even just bring them in for a deep clean spring cleaning to get your home back on track.
An excellent way to start when you’re looking to hire someone to come help is by asking around to friends and neighbors. Who do they use and recommend? Another good source is neighborhood mailers like Valpak that include coupons for local services.
However, no matter who you hire, it’s important to understand that house cleaners typically do not pick-up, declutter, or organize homes. Rather they clean:
Whether you hire someone to clean the entire house or ask them to focus on key areas, like the bathrooms or kitchen, you may need to pick up clutter before they come over. This makes it easy for them to access the surfaces that need to be cleaned.
If the idea of picking up all the clutter for a house cleaner to come over is overwhelming, an organizer may be the helper you need.
Professional organizers consult with you about how best to manage and store your belongings. They may physically come into your home or meet with you virtually to help you come up with a clutter strategy.
Organizers will help you troubleshoot the reasons for your clutter, find strategies to deal with it, and give you accountability to take care of it.
Depending on the organizer and whether they meet with you in person or virtually, they may help you move items, but they aren’t cleaners. Their primary goal is to help you find your own sustainable strategy for a decluttered space.
Similar to hiring a house cleaner, you should start your hunt for a professional organizer by asking around to friends and neighbors. Community mailers and social media groups are also good places to check, and finally, a good, old-fashioned Google search can help you find reputable professionals in your area.
Sometimes, broken appliances or structures in the home can cause a barrier to cleaning. It can feel like you can’t get things done because there is an issue you can’t fix on your own.
A handyman can take care of minor repairs in your home.
They can also install shelves—a great asset when you’re trying to be more organized!
Check out websites like Angi (formerly Angie’s List) or Thumbtack for reviews of handyman services ranging across all sorts of specialties. Community social media groups, mailers, and friends and neighbors are all also good places to turn for recommendations.
Often, our cleaning struggles stem from a deeper source.
Many of us are not just messy—we may be unmotivated due to depression or anxiety, struggling to focus on cleaning due to ADHD, or dealing with any number of other hurdles. In these cases, hiring a cleaning service is putting a bandaid over the problem.
To see lasting change, it can be helpful to enlist a mental health specialist to help you find your equilibrium. There are a wide variety of resources available. For a complete list, check out this article from the National Institute of Mental Health.
Even if you don’t have a formal mental health diagnosis, talking with someone about ways to cope with the stresses of daily life can make a difference in your motivation and ability to troubleshoot problems.
You can find mental health support from a variety of practitioners, including:
Sometimes, your home needs a coordinated team to tackle all the different areas in need of cleanup and repair.
If your home has so much clutter that:
You’ll want to enlist help that can safely and efficiently take on the challenge.
When you work with a specialized cleaning team like Bio-One, you’ll start out by meeting one of our team members to discuss your goals and situation.

When the team begins work in your home, they will do all in their power to keep their work discreet, including changing into protective gear in your backyard or garage if desired and using unmarked vehicles.
You will be looped in throughout the process of Bio-One’s decluttering and deep-cleaning work.

Asbestos is often misunderstood, so our hope is that this little article helps clear that up!
Many people understand that Asbestos is BAD - which is true. But what is Asbestos exactly? Asbestos is a naturally occurring, fibrous mineral which historically was used in homes for various purposes.
Asbestos was used for its heat-retaining properties, it's strength, and for many other reasons. In Alabama, homes built prior to 1990 have a much higher likelihood of containing asbestos in some of these structural or other components:
The only way to verify that components of your home contain ACM - or "asbestos containing material" as to have those items analyzed by a lab. If your lab results come back positive, that is where Bio-One comes in.

Every month, we get anywhere from 2-10 people inquiring how to become a Crime Scene Technician, and if we are hiring.
The great thing about working with Bio-One, we train our technicians and put them through all of the training they need to properly clean a crime scene. Jake, is the franchise owner for Bio-One's Huntsville, Birmingham, and Montgomery offices and he is also a certified trainer for the Bio-One Franchise, so we can train our technicians and get them certified once they are hired. There is classroom training, tests online, and on the job training that gets each tech confident on how to go into a scene and tackle it in a proficient and safe way. There are also specialized certifications online that we can help you apply for.
When interviewing a potential technician, we mainly look for certain qualities and traits. Our technicians must be honest, efficient, professional, empathetic, respectful, punctual, possess common sense, possess strong integrity, and last but not least- compassionate. Dealing with families who just suffered the worst loss of their lives, our technicians have to possess those qualities.
For our line of work, we also need technicians who are flexible and willing to work at all hours of the night, weekends, and sometimes holidays. Crime and trauma does not take a break after 5 p.m. during the week and does not stop on the weekends and holidays. Availability is also important since we never know when an important emergency call will come in, so being available to get to a job within the hour is a requirement.
Types of Services we provide:
Suicide/Homicide Cleanup -
Odor Removal - Undiscovered Death Cleanup - Blood Cleanup/Biohazard - Feces & Bodily Fluid Cleanup - Mold Remediation - Rodent Dropping Cleanup - Hoarding Cleanup - Junk Removal - Hazardous Waste Removal - Disinfections - & more!
Requirements for the job:
This job is not for everyone. We see more than what the average person sees. Blood, feces (human and animal), suicides, homicides, shootings, hoarder's homes in the utmost worst conditions are all things we see on a daily basis. A weak stomach and/or mind need not apply.
We have a job to do- we go in with professionalism and empathy and make the horrific scene disappear. Hoarding jobs are very hard work but seeing how the residence looks after we are finished from where it started is extremely satisfying for us and our clients.
We may be hiring in the near future - so if you possess those qualities and can take on the responsibility of being 'on call'- give us a call!
Rodent Droppings In Your Attic - Bio-One Helps Alabamians With This Cleanup
It may not be something you think about, but if find yourself calling your pest control expert to come rid your attic of critters....well, those critters also leave behind a mess that most pest control companies don't clean up.
That's right - typically your local exterminator will only rid your home of the rodent problem - but they won't clean up their droppings or urine.
The droppings and urine from rats, mice, squirrels, chipmunks, bats, raccoons and birds are common in attics and actually very dangerous.
The main danger comes from the accidental inhalation of the droppings' particulates - which can cause someone to contract hantavirus, histoplasmosis and other infections and diseases. Without the proper PPE and know-how, any homeowners will endanger themselves if they try to clean this up alone.
Bio-One is Alabama's #1 rodent droppings and critter feces cleanup company. Bio-One is a Biohazard Remediation services, specializing not only in this type of cleanup, but also hoarding cleanup, crime scene cleanup, meth lab cleanup, odor removal, mold remediation, sewage backup cleanup and much more.
With three local offices in Alabama - Huntsville, Birmingham and Montgomery, Bio-One is Alabama's local leader in this type of service.

Many Emergency Clean Up Companies Aren't Local To Alabama - Bio-One Is
The roots of crime- and trauma-scene cleaning companies can be traced to the 1990s, and at that time only a dozen or so companies existed. The industry was widely unregulated and awareness of contamination risks were relatively non-existant.
"I was young and dumb and saw something you only see in movies, so I quickly shut the door, took a deep breath, sat on the couch with the widow and told everyone else to get her out of here and take her to lunch, and we’ll clean this up for her," said Nick-Anthony Zamucen, Founder of Bio-One Inc. "We were just trying to help a lady in her greatest time of need, and that’s for me how I got into the crime scene and cleaning business."
Today, there are hundreds of companies that advertise crime and trauma scene cleaning, and a simple Google search may prove overwhelming when you're experiencing one of the most traumatic moments in your life. Bio-One, with three local offices in Alabama (Huntsville, Birmingham and Montgomery, is Alabama's true local expert).
Additionally, crime and trauma scene cleaning are not the only biohazards we clean - Bio-One also specializes in feces and urine cleanup, hoarding cleanup, mold remediation, sewage backup cleanup, odor removal, junk removal and others.
To help, we've listed pre-qualifying questions to ask before choosing a crime and trauma scene company.
Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Crime and Trauma Scene Cleaner
There are a number of key questions to ask crime and trauma scene cleaning technicians or business owners to properly root out which one is best for your goals and circumstances.
Last but certainly most important, make sure the business you speak with shows care and compassion for your situation. They should want to do everything possible to support you and your loved ones.
If you are searching for a family-owned, Alabama-local crime and trauma scene cleaner, Bio-One is here for you. All of our offices adhere to our business motto Help First, Business Second and are available 24/7.
