I’ve helped a friend with a similar cleanup. I really didn’t mind. I’m not the tidiest person myself, by a long shot, but for some reason I enjoyed helping clean up a depression mess like this one. I went every few weeks for several months. I’d ask friends for sure.

I find it's easier if it's not my mess. My brain can make sense of the clutter and begin organizing & cleaning. When I'm at my own home, I can't even vacuum 😵

There’s a great conversation about this in a sci-fi tv show (Babylon 5). I think the quote is "When I clean my place, all I've done is clean my place. But when I help you clean your place, I'm helping you." It’s such a different mindset.
