Questions Owners and Families in Elmwood Park, Detroit, MI Ask About Unsanitary Home Cleanup

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.

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 a squalid home a biohazard?

It can be. When human or animal waste, blood, body fluids or sharp objects are present, the cleanup follows biohazard methods. Crews wear protective gear and follow rules such as the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030.

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 is squalor cleanup?

Squalor cleanup is the removal of filth, waste, spoiled food and contamination from a home in unsanitary condition, followed by deep cleaning and disinfecting. It is also called filth cleanup or extreme cleaning. A cleanup team uses protective gear and approved products.
