What trauma cleaners see in Essex homes

Imagine walking into a home and finding a bathtub full of human waste or over a tonne of urine bottles—this is the reality for trauma cleaners like Mufaro Mapanda and her niece Mellisa in Essex. Their work goes way beyond cleaning; it’s about supporting vulnerable people, many of whom struggle with hoarding due to mental health issues. Mufaro’s story highlights how easy it is for neighbors to slip through the cracks, and why checking in on each other in person really matters. What do you think our community can do to better support those who might be struggling behind closed doors? #Health #BodyHealth #EssexCommunity
