3. Detailed cleaning
Surfaces are scrubbed with approved products and then disinfected. Fixtures, appliances and flooring get the closest attention.

Odor is treated where it started, and each room is inspected. The owner receives notes on any damage or follow-up work.

Questions Owners and Families in South Boston, Boston, MA Ask About Unsanitary Home Cleanup
What if pests or mold are found?
The crew cleans up the mess they leave behind, such as droppings, debris and damaged materials. Pest control and mold remediation are separate trades, and the team can say when they are needed.
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.
Does insurance cover squalor cleanup?
Usually not, since policies often exclude cleaning caused by long-term conditions. Some policies cover sudden events such as a burst pipe or a sewage backup. Read the policy, ask the agent, take photos and keep every receipt.
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.
Can the cleanup help with a deadline from the city or a landlord?
Often yes. Tell the team about the date on the first call so it can plan the crew and the schedule. A cleanup team cannot decide what a city or landlord requires, but it can work toward it.
