Common Questions About Squalor Cleaning in Lancaster, NY

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 much does filth cleanup cost?

It depends on the size of the home, the amount of waste, soiled materials, odor, pests and access. The cleanup team gives a price after seeing the home. Be careful with any quote given sight unseen.

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 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 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.
