Very dirty apartment cleaning in Paris 7th
Furniture stays in place. We provide heavy cleaning around retained belongings in a furnished flat that is still occupied or awaiting handover. We agree what may move, what remains covered and which surfaces are included. This is not a clearance and it does not return a flat to new.
Large furniture can block floors, skirting boards and alcoves for years. We protect the route through the flat, prepare the work point in the room concerned and avoid moving belongings unless this has been expressly agreed. Cleaning does not repair damaged coverings, guarantee habitability or guarantee that a smell will disappear.

Heavy furniture in large 7th-arrondissement flats
Large flats in the 7th often contain furniture that has remained in place for a very long time. Mirrored wardrobes, sideboards, solid wood chests of drawers and long tables may be too heavy or too structured to move even a short distance without being emptied first. We therefore clean around them and describe plainly what will remain out of reach, including the floor beneath a wardrobe, the skirting behind a sideboard and the wall at the back of an alcove. Moving a piece aside, even briefly, requires prior agreement from the person entitled to give instructions. Emptying drawers, cupboards or shelves is not included unless expressly agreed. We do not appraise belongings, sort by worth or decide that an item should move because it appears to obstruct the work.
Distance adds another practical constraint. When the room being cleaned lies at the end of a long corridor, water, equipment and waste must make that journey each time. We protect the parquet, thresholds and rooms crossed instead of shifting whatever stands there, and we set up the working point in the room concerned to limit unnecessary back-and-forth. A surface revealed only when furniture is finally moved may show damage, wear or an old mark rather than removable dirt. We record that distinction rather than promise a change the cleaning cannot deliver. The building rules and managing agent settle access to common areas, and unusual containers are reported without being opened or handled.
How the heavy cleaning proceeds

Protection
We protect parquet, thresholds, corridors and rooms crossed by the work.

What shapes the work
- Furniture that must remain
- Surfaces reachable around it
- Permission to move or empty items
- Corridor and room distance
- Parquet and threshold protection
- Equipment and waste route
- Condition of exposed materials
- Separate treatment or repair needs
The work is shaped by what can be reached without clearing the flat. Heavy furniture may require protection around its base, a longer internal route and a working point prepared in the room concerned. We distinguish the surfaces included from fronts alone, and we state what remains covered beneath or behind retained pieces. A damaged covering, marked wall or worn finish may remain after cleaning. Disinfection, decontamination, clearance and repairs are separate services and are never added automatically.
