Extreme Cleaning Questions Answered for Silver Spring, MD
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.
How do you help someone whose home has become filthy?
Be kind and avoid blame. Many people end up in these conditions after illness, injury, a loss or a hard stretch of life. Offer to help, ask what matters most to them and let a cleanup team handle the hard parts.
What comes after the cleanup?
Repairs, pest control or a final deep clean, depending on what was found. The team passes along notes on damage so the owner can plan. For an occupied home, support from a doctor, counselor or local group can help the clean last.
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.
How long does squalor cleanup take?
A single room is often done in a day, while a whole home can take several days or longer. Size, waste, soiled materials, pests and odor all change the timeline. The team can estimate once it has seen the home.
Is squalor cleanup done before a tenant moves in?
It can be. Property managers and landlords sometimes schedule cleanup before a new tenant moves in, and some require proof that cleaning was done. The team can note the condition of the home for the owner's records.
