What Happens During an Extreme Cleaning in Stanwood, WA

1. Safety check

The crew looks for sharp objects, unstable piles, mold, pests and waste that may carry germs. Protective equipment is chosen to match.

2. Contain the affected area

Affected rooms are separated from cleaner ones, and fans or air control are set up. This keeps odor and dust from spreading.

3. Clean room by room

Each room is cleared, cleaned and disinfected before the crew moves on. Heavy items are lifted with a plan.

4. Check the results

A final look confirms surfaces are clean and the air is fresh. Notes about repairs or pest control are passed to the owner.
