Exits, a path to the bathroom and the kitchen are cleared first. These changes lower fire and fall risks right away.
Each room is cleaned and disinfected once it is clear. Kitchens and bathrooms get the closest attention.

The price depends on the size of the home, the level of buildup, hazards such as pests or mold, disposal, stairs and the pace chosen. The cleanup team sets a price after seeing the home. Be careful with any quote given sight unseen.
