Does the resident need to be present?
Not always. If access can be arranged, the caller does not need to be on site. When the resident wants to be there, the crew welcomes it and works at a pace that suits them.
What is extreme cleaning?
Extreme cleaning is a broad term for cleaning a home that is far beyond ordinary housekeeping. It can include trash removal, deep scrubbing, disinfecting, odor treatment and removal of soiled materials.
Can I clean up a filthy home myself?
Only if the area is small, the surfaces are hard and nothing hazardous is present, and then with gloves, a mask and open windows. Widespread waste, mold, pests or strong odor call for a crew. Never mix cleaning chemicals.
What is squalor cleanup?
Squalor cleanup is the removal of filth, waste, spoiled food and contamination from a home in unsanitary condition, followed by deep cleaning and disinfecting. It is also called filth cleanup or extreme cleaning. A cleanup team uses protective gear and approved products.
Can odor be fully removed?
Often yes, when the source is removed or treated. Soiled mattresses, carpet and soaked materials may need to go, and surfaces are scrubbed and disinfected. Covering smell with fragrance does not last.
