Extreme Cleaning Questions Answered for Oliver, Baltimore, MD

How do you clean a house in unsanitary condition?

Remove trash and spoiled food first, then waste and soiled materials, then scrub and disinfect, and finish with odor treatment. Protective gear is important, and mixed cleaning chemicals should never be used together.

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 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 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.

What if pests or mold are found?

The crew cleans up the mess they leave behind, such as droppings, debris and damaged materials. Pest control and mold remediation are separate trades, and the team can say when they are needed.

Will the resident's belongings and papers be saved?

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.

Is a home in Oliver too dirty to live in safely?

Questions about cost, insurance or timing are part of the first conversation.
