Start with safety, then sort, remove and clean in that order. Exits and fire hazards come first, then spoiled food and unsafe items, then deep cleaning of kitchens and bathrooms. The resident decides what stays, and a cleanup team can handle the heavy parts.
A crew with enough people and a clear plan, working room by room. Going fast without the resident's agreement often backfires, though, and the home can fill again. Clearing exits and hazards first is the quickest way to make a real safety difference.
Tell the team about any deadline so the plan can be built around it.
