Animal Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Dolores Heights, San Francisco, CA

Is animal hoarding cleanup different from pet odor cleaning?

Yes. Pet odor cleaning is meant for a few accidents on a surface. Animal hoarding cleanup deals with widespread waste, soaked materials, ammonia, pests and structural odor, and it needs protective gear and removal work.

Do the animals have to be gone before cleanup starts?

Yes. Cleanup does not begin while animals are still in the home. Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group should clear the property first, and the cleanup team can then plan its work.

Why does carpet or flooring need to be removed?

Urine soaks through carpet and padding into the subfloor, where it keeps producing odor. Removing soaked materials takes out the source. Hard surfaces that can be cleaned are scrubbed and disinfected instead.

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.

What is animal hoarding cleanup?

It is the cleaning of a home after too many animals were kept in it to be cared for well. Crews in protective gear remove waste and soiled materials, scrub, disinfect and treat odor. The animals are handled first by an agency such as animal control or a rescue group.

Is extreme cleaning the same as animal hoarding cleanup?

Not exactly. Extreme cleaning is a broad term for homes in very poor condition, while animal hoarding cleanup targets animal waste, odor and damage. The two can overlap, and a team can combine them in one plan.
