What is deep cleaning?
Deep cleaning is an essential process in our hoarding cleanup services focusing on not just removing clutter, but thoroughly sanitizing and revitalizing spaces.
Typically, conventional cleaning only addresses surface-level dirt and grime, whereas deep cleaning penetrates hard-to-reach areas and eliminates deeply embedded particles, allergens, and odours.
Household cleaning products simply aren’t strong enough to tackle the intense buildup often found in hoarded environments. Our specialized deep cleaning techniques and powerful, environmentally safe solutions ensure that every nook and cranny is addressed, resulting in a space that is not only clutter-free but also safe and inviting.
