Extreme Cleaning Questions Answered for East Congress, Austin, TX
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.
Can odor be fully removed?
Often yes, when the source is removed or treated. Soiled mattresses, carpet and soaked materials may need to go, and surfaces are scrubbed and disinfected. Covering smell with fragrance does not last.
What is the difference between squalor and hoarding?
Hoarding is about a build-up of belongings, and hoarding disorder is a recognized mental health condition. Squalor is about unsanitary conditions such as waste, rot and pests. The two can overlap, and a team can handle both in one plan.
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.
What should you not say to someone living in a squalid home?
Avoid words like disgusting or filthy and never say they should be ashamed. Do not throw things out without asking. Stay calm, listen and focus on safety and the next small step.
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.
