Extreme Cleaning Questions Answered for Potrero Hill, San Francisco, CA

Is squalor cleanup different from hoarding cleanup?

They overlap. Hoarding cleanup focuses on sorting and clearing belongings. Squalor cleanup focuses on sanitation, such as waste, rot and grime. Many homes need both, and one team can plan them together.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
