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.
Often yes. A lease and local housing rules usually allow a landlord to require a clean, sanitary unit. A tenant rights group or an attorney can explain what applies in a specific case. A cleanup team can often work toward a deadline.
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.
Most often the resident, owner or family pays. For a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant. Some communities offer help for older adults or people with disabilities, and a local aging service or community group may know what exists.
Yes where they can be. The crew sets aside documents, photos, medicine and valuables that can be cleaned, and the resident can name anything that must be kept. Items too soiled to clean safely are discarded.
Usually not. A regular service is not equipped for waste, spoiled food, mold or pests. Squalor cleanup teams bring protective gear, hauling and disinfecting, and they know when to stop and call another trade.
Call and ask how papers, photos and valuables are kept safe.
