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.
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.
Most often the resident, owner or family pays. For a rental, the lease and local law decide between landlord and tenant. Some communities offer help for older adults or people with disabilities, and a local aging service or community group may know what exists.
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.
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.
Call and ask how papers, photos and valuables are kept safe.
