Extreme Cleaning Near Me in Paris

Our Extreme Cleaning Services in Paris

Extreme cleaning combines several operations intended to make severely deteriorated spaces accessible, clean and usable again. The procedure is determined according to the property’s actual condition, the belongings that must be preserved, the volume requiring removal and any specialist treatment needed.

Property Assessment

Before the intervention, we gather the information required to understand the situation and organise the work.

The assessment may cover:

• Type and size of the property
• Number of affected rooms
• Level of clutter
• Volume of accumulated waste and belongings
• Condition of the kitchen and bathrooms
• Presence of persistent odours
• Documents and belongings to be preserved
• Possible presence of pests
• Floor and availability of a lift
• Access and parking constraints
• Required level of restoration

Photographs can assist with an initial assessment. Additional evaluation may be required when the situation is particularly complex.

Sorting Personal Belongings

A cluttered property may contain important documents, keepsakes and valuable possessions mixed with waste. Sorting separates the items to be retained from those approved for removal.

We can identify and preserve:

• Administrative documents
• Photographs and keepsakes
• Keys and payment cards
• Jewellery and valuable items
• Personal correspondence
• Clothing to be retained
• Medication and prescriptions to be returned to the designated contact
• Items identified by the occupant or their family

Instructions can be agreed with the occupant, a relative, guardian, legal representative, property owner or authorised professional.

Waste and Bulky-Item Clearance

When surfaces are no longer accessible, clearance is often required before cleaning can begin.

The intervention may include:

• Bagging of waste
• Removal of accumulated packaging
• Disposal of food waste
• Clearance of unusable furniture
• Removal of items that cannot be recovered
• Clearing of corridors and entrances
• Clearing of kitchens and bathrooms
• Organisation of waste removal according to the building
• Cleaning of areas as they become accessible

Personal belongings are not removed without following the instructions agreed with the person responsible for the intervention.

Deep Cleaning

Once the surfaces are accessible, we perform intensive cleaning adapted to the materials and degree of soiling.

The service may include:

• Thorough vacuuming and dust removal
• Floor cleaning
• Washing of washable surfaces
• Degreasing of kitchen areas
• Cleaning of bathrooms and toilets
• Removal of ingrained dirt whenever possible
• Cleaning of doors, skirting boards and touchpoints
• Cleaning of recoverable furniture
• Cleaning of accessible storage areas

Porous or severely deteriorated coverings may retain marks even after deep cleaning. Replacement may then be required.

Cleaning After Diogenes Syndrome

A situation associated with Diogenes syndrome may involve severe accumulation, neglected housekeeping, social isolation and refusal of assistance. Défi Clean works without judgement and adapts the organisation to the occupant’s circumstances.

The intervention may include:

• Assessment of the level of accumulation
• Identification of important belongings
• Careful sorting
• Gradual clearance
• Waste removal
• Intensive cleaning
• Disinfection of affected surfaces
• Odour treatment when necessary
• Inspection of treated areas

As Diogenes syndrome is a complex condition, the practical intervention can be coordinated with the family or those responsible for supporting the occupant.

Cleaning After Domestic Neglect

Domestic neglect refers to a significant and prolonged lack of personal hygiene or home maintenance. It may be connected to age, social isolation, loss of independence, illness or a major life event.

Our intervention may include:

• Decluttering of rooms
• Sorting of personal belongings
• Waste removal
• Cleaning of floors and surfaces
• Deep cleaning of the kitchen
• Cleaning of bathrooms and toilets
• Disinfection when required
• Preparation of the property for reoccupation

Unsanitary Property Cleaning

An unsanitary or severely deteriorated property may contain waste, visible mould, persistent odours, pests or facilities that can no longer be used normally.

Depending on its condition, we can provide:

• Removal of accessible waste
• Clearance of damaged items
• Cleaning of the rooms
• Degreasing of surfaces
• Intensive cleaning of kitchens and bathrooms
• Disinfection of contaminated areas
• Odour treatment
• Preparation before renovation work

Cleaning does not replace repairs when the building has water infiltration, unsafe installations or structural deterioration.

Disinfection and Decontamination

Some situations require additional treatment after cleaning and the removal of accessible contamination sources.

Treatment may cover:

• Floors and washable surfaces
• Kitchens and accessible appliances
• Bathrooms and toilets
• Handles and switches
• Areas where waste has accumulated
• Spaces contaminated by pests
• Recoverable furniture
• Surfaces exposed to biological matter

The method is adapted to the surfaces and the type of contamination identified. Deeply impregnated porous materials may require removal or replacement.

Persistent Odour Treatment

Unpleasant odours may be caused by waste, deteriorating food, damp, pests or impregnated materials.

Treatment begins with:

• Identifying the source of the odour
• Removing waste
• Cleaning affected areas
• Disinfecting when required
• Ventilating the rooms
• Treating recoverable materials
• Identifying materials requiring replacement

Masking an odour is not enough: its source must be removed or treated whenever possible.

Restoration Before Reletting or Sale

A property owner, landlord or manager may contact Défi Clean after an occupant’s departure or the recovery of a severely deteriorated property.

We can prepare the property before:

• A new tenancy
• A property inspection
• A sale
• The occupant’s return
• Renovation work
• Handover of the keys
• Work by another contractor

The quotation distinguishes cleaning from any painting, plumbing, electrical or structural work that may still be required.

Cleaning Residential Buildings and Communal Areas

An extreme situation inside an apartment can also affect communal areas through odours, marks, waste or repeated movement during clearance.

With the agreement of the building manager, we can organise:

• Protection of circulation areas
• Cleaning of access routes
• Cleaning of the lift
• Cleaning of affected stairways
• Organised waste removal
• Reduction of disturbance to neighbours
• Coordination with the caretaker
• Compliance with the building’s regulations

Extreme Cleaning for Offices and Commercial Premises

Défi Clean can also work in offices, storerooms, shops, workshops and premises left unused for an extended period.

The service may include:

• Sorting of contents
• Clearance of unusable furniture
• Waste removal
• Deep floor cleaning
• Dust removal from accessible surfaces
• Cleaning of bathroom facilities
• Disinfection of affected areas
• Preparation before reuse or renovation

Proximity alone cannot determine the timing or feasibility of an intervention. We must also consider the property’s condition, access, volume requiring removal and the operations needed.

We also serve the inner suburbs of Paris, including Boulogne-Billancourt, Neuilly-sur-Seine, Levallois-Perret, Clichy, Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, Aubervilliers, Pantin, Les Lilas, Bagnolet, Montreuil, Vincennes, Saint-Mandé, Charenton-le-Pont, Ivry-sur-Seine, Le Kremlin-Bicêtre, Gentilly, Montrouge, Malakoff, Vanves and Issy-les-Moulineaux.

Tax Credit and Tax Benefits in France

Certain household-maintenance services performed in a private home may qualify for a French tax credit equal to 50% of eligible expenses, subject to applicable conditions, spending limits and exclusions.

Eligibility depends in particular on:

• The exact nature of the tasks performed
• Where the intervention takes place
• The beneficiary’s French tax circumstances
• The service provider’s status
• Applicable annual spending limits
• Any financial assistance already received
• The breakdown shown on the invoice

For extreme cleaning, not every operation is necessarily eligible. The portion corresponding to routine household maintenance may qualify. Clearance, waste removal, supplies, specialist decontamination and renovation work do not automatically receive the same tax treatment.

The tax credit should therefore not be considered guaranteed for the entire quotation. Current conditions are available on the official French government page about the tax credit for employing a worker at home.

Indicative Cost of Extreme Cleaning in Paris

The cost of an intervention depends on the property’s condition and the resources required. Two apartments of the same size may have very different levels of clutter and deterioration.

The quotation takes account of:

• The size of the property
• The number of affected rooms
• The level of accumulation
• The volume of waste and bulky items
• The time required for sorting
• The condition of the kitchen and bathrooms
• The level of surface contamination
• The possible presence of pests
• Disinfection or decontamination requirements
• The intensity of persistent odours
• The number of operatives required
• The expected duration of the work
• The floor and availability of a lift
• Parking availability
• Handling constraints
• Waste-removal and processing costs
• The required level of restoration

Photographs can often assist with an initial assessment. A visit or additional information may be necessary for severely cluttered properties.

A fixed price cannot be provided without understanding the situation. The quotation specifies the included operations to avoid confusion between clearance, cleaning, disinfection and renovation work.
