Self-neglect cleaning in Paris 7th

We follow one authorised instruction. Several people may hold keys to a flat in Paris 7th and suggest different things should be done. Défi Clean takes instructions only from the person entitled to give them. We describe rooms, surfaces and agreements, never the occupant or their situation.

This service concerns a flat where upkeep has become difficult and several people may be involved. A home carer, relative, neighbour, concierge or managing agent may be present, but none is automatically authorised. We agree a pace and order with the person entitled to give instructions, then report what has been done without discussing the situation with others.

  • Instructions from one authorised person
  • Conflicting requests clarified first
  • Progressive room-by-room work
  • Discretion arranged without guarantees

Several people around one flat in Paris 7th

Around a flat in Paris 7th, several people may come and go. A home carer visits during the week, a child comes at weekends, a neighbour holds a key, a concierge knows the building and a managing agent may follow the file. Each person may have a different idea of what should happen. The person who opens the door is not automatically the person who can authorise cleaning. We take instructions only from the person entitled to give them and say so plainly to everyone involved. We do not act because a neighbour, relative or visitor insists. A court-appointed deputy or legal guardian may be the authorised person. Relatives are not automatically entitled to decide.

Practical coordination needs its own clear frame. We agree a pace, an order and times that disturb people least. We return to what has been accepted instead of extending the scope because someone proposes more work on the spot. What was refused stays refused until a new agreement, and that does not block work already approved elsewhere. We report the completed operations to the authorised person without discussing the situation with carers, neighbours, the concierge or the managing agent. We arrange discreet passages, but we never promise that nobody will notice.

Our coordination method

Identify the authority

We confirm who can give instructions and do not follow the person who merely opens the door.

Clarify requests

We resolve contradictions before moving or cleaning any room or surface.

Define the scope

We list the rooms, surfaces and operations covered by the agreement.

Choose the rhythm

We agree the order and times that disturb the occupants least.

Work progressively

We return to accepted areas without extending the scope on site.

Report back

We tell the authorised person what was done without discussing the situation with others.

What must be agreed

  • Person entitled to give instructions
  • Court-appointed deputy or legal guardian involved
  • Rooms and surfaces within scope
  • Conflicting requests from different people
  • Order chosen for the work
  • Times that limit disturbance
  • Areas refused until new agreement
  • Report given to the authorised person

We do not diagnose, use clinical vocabulary or interpret the occupant’s situation. We describe rooms, surfaces, access and agreements only. A key, family relationship or presence at the door does not automatically authorise work. We follow the person entitled to give instructions and respect every refusal. Clearance, disinfection and very dirty apartment cleaning have separate scopes. We arrange discretion without promising invisibility or habitability.

Frequently asked questions

Can the person with the key give instructions?

Not automatically. We verify who is entitled to give instructions. Holding a key, being a relative or opening the door does not by itself authorise the work.

Can a court-appointed deputy or legal guardian decide?

Yes, when they have the authority required to represent the occupant. We follow their instructions within the scope they can validly approve.

What if several people give different instructions?

We pause the disputed decision and ask the person entitled to give instructions for clarification. We do not choose between a carer, neighbour, relative, concierge or managing agent.

Can agreement cover only one room?

Yes. Agreement may cover one room, corner or surface. We can start there, but that partial agreement also sets the limit of our work.

What happens if someone asks for more work on site?

We do not extend the scope on the spot. We return to the authorised person, and work outside the agreement waits until a new instruction is given.

Do you tell neighbours or the concierge what is happening?

No. We report the completed operations to the authorised person and do not discuss the situation with others. We arrange discreet movements without promising that nobody will notice.

Does this cleaning make the flat habitable?

We do not promise that. We clean the surfaces included in the agreement. The condition of the building, materials or ventilation may require separate work.
