Crime-scene cleaning in Paris 11th: a written scope for each room
In a shared home in Paris 11th, the cleaning scope must name the rooms concerned rather than refer to the entire flat. We work after official examinations have ended and access is authorised in writing. Each bedroom and shared space has its own defined boundaries; an unnamed room remains excluded even when its door is open and its interior can be seen.
Permission to enter one bedroom does not make the rest of the home available for cleaning, preparation or storage. We check the access conditions against the written description of the proposed operations, separating individual rooms from shared spaces. Other occupants’ belongings remain untouched. If a room is not named or an authorisation is unclear, the affected work waits for clarification rather than proceeding on an assumption.
- Confirm that official examinations have ended
- Check written authorisation for the proposed access
- Name each room included in the scope
- Keep unnamed areas outside the intervention
What the written description needs to distinguish
Conditions governing access to the rooms
- Confirm the end of the official examinations
- Check that access is authorised in writing
- Identify the rooms covered by that authorisation
- Clarify any boundary that remains ambiguous
Bedrooms and individually named shared spaces
- Describe each bedroom included in the work
- Name shared areas separately from private rooms
- Exclude spaces absent from the written scope
- Distinguish access routes from surfaces being cleaned
Belongings and the operations accepted
- Specify permitted actions within each named room
- Preserve possessions belonging to the other occupants
- Leave unresolved groups in their existing positions
- Record surfaces concealed by excluded belongings
Naming the rooms rather than the flat
In Paris 11th, a shared home cannot be treated as a single unit when defining the cleaning scope. One bedroom may have its own occupant, another a different occupant, while several people use the kitchen. The written description therefore names the rooms concerned rather than simply stating “the flat”. Each bedroom and shared space retained for work has its own access conditions and agreed operations. What is not named is not included. A room outside the scope remains closed to the intervention even when its door opens onto the corridor and the interior is visible. That view does not permit entry, handling or equipment storage. Where a description leaves doubt about which area is intended, clarification comes before preparation, without selecting a room ourselves or assuming that the surrounding spaces are available.
We intervene after official examinations have ended and access has been authorised in writing. The operations remain within that framework: nothing is moved outside the authorised scope, no belongings are sorted according to presumed value and other occupants’ possessions are not touched. A restricted passage does not permit moving an excluded group or using a neighbouring bedroom. If belongings conceal a surface, that limitation is recorded rather than treated as permission for their removal. Outstanding decisions must be obtained before the relevant action proceeds. Cleaning provides no guarantee of habitability or the disappearance of an odour. A persistent mark on porous material and an inaccessible section are described separately from completed cleaning, without presenting either as repaired or assuming that an unseen area has received treatment.
Check the written framework before defining each operation
Gather the available information
We identify the rooms proposed for cleaning, known access conditions and the people who can clarify the request. The information needed concerns the material scope and authorisations rather than a detailed account of events. Unresolved points are separated from established instructions so that preparation does not depend on an assumption about the room or its contents.
Verify the preliminary conditions
The end of official examinations and written authorisation of access are checked before cleaning begins. The available written information must make the permitted areas understandable. If a boundary remains unclear, the corresponding operation waits for clarification; handling belongings or preparing surfaces inside is not started as a way of anticipating the answer.
Name the areas retained
Each bedroom is described separately, with the entrance area, corridor, kitchen and washroom individually named where relevant. The description distinguishes access needed for organisation from surfaces actually included in cleaning. A room absent from the scope remains excluded even if it appears empty or would offer space for equipment and preparation.
Define permitted handling
Instructions identify the designated belongings and actions accepted within the authorised area. Other occupants’ possessions are not touched, and an absent occupant’s belongings are never sorted, moved or discarded. We do not read documents or select items according to presumed value; an uncertain instruction remains a point to resolve before handling the group concerned.
Clean the agreed surfaces
Operations account for the materials that are actually accessible and their visible condition. In a converted workshop, unfinished concrete, painted brick or untreated timber may retain marks after deposits are removed. Fragile finishes and concealed sections are recorded without extending the work into another room or moving belongings beyond the permission given.
Record the work and its limits
We distinguish cleaned surfaces, exclusions maintained and operations left pending. A further request needs its own clarified scope and access conditions before it can proceed. The record does not establish habitability, promise the disappearance of an odour or draw conclusions about unexamined areas, and repairs remain separate from the cleaning completed.
What establishes the written scope?
- Confirmed completion of the official examinations
- Written authorisation defining the permitted access
- Unambiguous identification of the rooms concerned
- Separation of bedrooms and individual shared spaces
- Available instructions for the designated belongings
- Presence of possessions belonging to other occupants
- Actual access to the surfaces being included
- Material and condition of each observed surface
A precise scope describes more than the size of the home. It links named rooms to access conditions and permitted actions on belongings. An included bedroom may contain excluded items that restrict cleaning, while access through a shared area does not necessarily include treatment of its surfaces. These differences must be written down before work begins. They are not resolved by transferring a group into another room or interpreting an open door as agreement to extend the intervention.

This page concerns cleaning governed by the completion of official examinations, authorisations and a written scope. The after-death and after-suicide pages describe their respective frameworks without replacing these conditions where they apply. Any proposed disinfection requires its own justification and definition on surfaces already cleaned. Decontamination follows a separate prior assessment. Neither service name permits wider room access, handling excluded belongings or adding repairs to the cleaning already agreed.
Questions about named rooms and access conditions
When can cleaning begin in the rooms concerned?
We intervene after official examinations have ended and access is authorised in writing. The named rooms and proposed operations must also be clear before any preparation or cleaning starts.
Why not describe the scope as the whole flat?
A shared home contains rooms with separate access agreements. Naming them distinguishes the bedrooms and shared areas included without treating spaces belonging to other occupants as available.
Does an open door allow use of a room outside the scope?
No. An unnamed room remains closed to the intervention even when its interior is visible. The open door does not permit entry, temporary storage or moving belongings into that space.
Can belongings be placed in a neighbouring bedroom during cleaning?
Nothing is moved outside the authorised scope to make cleaning easier. If an operation requires another room, its proposed use and access conditions must be clarified before any handling occurs.
What happens to possessions belonging to other occupants?
They are not touched, even inside a room included in the description. Their presence may leave a surface inaccessible, and that limitation is recorded without moving the belongings to reach it.
Does access authorisation automatically include disinfection?
No. Permission to enter does not define the treatments to carry out. Disinfection must be justified and described separately for suitable surfaces that have already received cleaning.
Does cleaning guarantee habitability or the disappearance of an odour?
No. Cleaning does not guarantee habitability or the disappearance of an odour. It concerns the agreed surfaces, while deteriorated materials and inaccessible sections retain their stated limits.
