Extreme Cleaning Questions Answered for Roxbury, Boston, MA
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 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.
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.
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 happens to items that are removed?
Usable goods go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, soiled or unsafe items go to disposal, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.
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.
