Questions Owners and Families in Peru, NY Ask About Unsanitary Home Cleanup

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
