Extreme Cleaning Questions Answered for Los Altos, CA
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.
Can a team clean after the resident has moved out or passed away?
Yes. A cleanup team can clear and clean a home once the resident has moved, entered care or died. The family or estate decides what is kept, and the work moves at their pace.
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 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.
What is the difference between squalor and hoarding?
Hoarding is about a build-up of belongings, and hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition. Squalor is about unsanitary conditions such as waste, rot and pests. The two can overlap, and a team can handle both in one plan.
Can a regular cleaning service handle a squalid home?
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.
