Usually not. A regular service is not equipped for waste, spoiled food, mold or pests. Squalor cleanup teams bring protective gear, hauling and disinfecting, and they know when to stop and call another trade.
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.
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.
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.
Be kind and avoid blame. Many people end up in these conditions after illness, injury, a loss or a hard stretch of life. Offer to help, ask what matters most to them and let a cleanup team handle the hard parts.
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.
Call and ask how papers, photos and valuables are kept safe.
