Filth and Squalor Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Orchard Lake Village, MI

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 different from hoarding cleanup?

They overlap. Hoarding cleanup focuses on sorting and clearing belongings. Squalor cleanup focuses on sanitation, such as waste, rot and grime. Many homes need both, and one team can plan them together.

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.

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.

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.
