Extreme cleaning in Paris 15th: define the work and who can authorise it
An extreme cleaning request in Paris 15th starts with two separate questions: what actually needs to be dealt with, and who can make the decisions. A neighbour, caretaker, landlord or distant relative may be the first person to call without having entered the property. Other requests already sit between removers, contractors, adjusters or scheduled inspections whose order affects what can be done.
Défi Clean therefore separates the description of the situation from the authority to act and from the practical sequence of the work. A heavily soiled or cluttered home does not automatically require clearance, while a specialist treatment is not inferred from appearance alone. This hub presents the main services available in the 15th and directs each situation to its dedicated page.
- Identify whether the main need is sorting, clearance, cleaning or a specialist treatment.
- Check who is making the request and who can actually authorise the work.
- Separate confirmed areas from spaces or items that still require a decision.
- Take account of other trades already booked when their work changes access or the order of operations.
What must be clarified before the service is defined

Learn more →After-death cleaning

Home decontamination does not follow simply from a surface looking dirty.
Learn more →After-suicide cleaning
After a suicide, the first call may come from a shaken relative, a friend, a landlord or a neighbour.
Learn more →Crime scene cleaning
Crime scene cleaning does not begin while official examinations are still under way.
Learn more →Pigeon control
An occupier may be the person who sees pigeons returning to the same ledge or courtyard every day, yet that does not mean they can decide alone to fix a device to the building façade. In Paris 15th, the request therefore has two parts: understanding exactly where pigeons are settling, then identifying who has authority to approve any measure affecting a jointly owned part of the building.

Removing pigeon droppings and cleaning the affected surfaces does not sit independently from the work planned around them.
Learn more →Very dirty apartment cleaning
A request for intensive apartment cleaning often arrives with another date already in the diary: a viewing, an inventory check or a handover of keys.
Learn more →Property restoration
Property restoration comes at the end of a sequence rather than in the middle of it.

Five pages explain what goes into a quote, without stating any amount: the common factors first, then what is specific to each situation.
Extreme cleaning prices
An extreme cleaning quotation is not determined by the name of the service alone.
See the quote factors →Diogenes cleaning prices
A quotation for cleaning with sorting cannot be based only on what a relative, managing agent or other third party remembers about the property.
See the quote factors →Unsanitary housing cleaning prices
A quotation for cleaning a degraded property depends on what can actually be reached and treated between other operations already booked.
See the quote factors →Hoarder clearance prices
A clearance quotation is not based on apparent volume alone.
See the quote factors →After-death cleaning prices
A quotation after a death cannot be settled from a remote description alone.

Around Vaugirard and Convention, a request may first come from a neighbour, caretaker, landlord, letting agent or relative who has never been inside the property. Their description can be useful, but it does not settle the scope. The person authorised to permit entry and make decisions about sorting, movement and any removal must still be identified. A report, complaint or formal notice does not replace that agreement, and information about the completed work goes to the authorised person rather than automatically to whoever first raised the issue.
Around Grenelle, Javel or Beaugrenelle, the other constraint may be an existing sequence of trades. A remover, plumber, loss adjuster or contractor may already be booked, making some surfaces available only after their work and leaving others liable to be disturbed again afterwards. Défi Clean takes those dependencies into account when defining its own scope but does not coordinate the other trades. If their sequence changes, any cleaning operation that depends on it has to be reconsidered rather than treated as a promised deadline.
How an extreme cleaning scope is built
Request
The first exchange identifies who is contacting Défi Clean, what they know directly and what has been reported by somebody else. This separates useful background information from assumptions that still need to be checked before the work can be defined.
Authority
The person entitled to permit access and approve the relevant operations is identified. A neighbour, caretaker, landlord or relative may begin the process without necessarily being able to authorise sorting, movement or removal inside the property.
Assessment
The accessible rooms, surfaces, belongings and soiling are reviewed within the authorised scope. This step distinguishes what is actually present from what was described beforehand and helps separate ordinary cleaning from clearance or specialist treatment.
Scope
The confirmed work, exclusions and unresolved areas are set out clearly. Belongings without a decision remain outside the removal scope, while spaces that have not been authorised are not treated as though they were already included.
Sequence
Other trades already booked are taken into account where their work affects access or the state of the surfaces. Défi Clean identifies these dependencies for its own operations without taking over responsibility for arranging the other trades.
Work
The agreed operations are carried out within the confirmed scope. If the situation found differs from the original description or another trade changes a dependent area, that part is reconsidered rather than automatically absorbed into the initial work.
What defines an extreme cleaning request in Paris 15th
- The nature of the soiling, accumulation or affected surfaces.
- The rooms and areas actually accessible for assessment.
- The identity of the person authorised to approve the work.
- The instructions already given about belongings and possible removal.
- The areas or items still awaiting a decision.
- The need for cleaning, clearance or a specialist treatment.
- The other trades already booked before or after Défi Clean.
- The exclusions and dependencies that must remain outside the confirmed scope.
These criteria turn a broad request into a workable scope. They distinguish what a third party has reported from what can actually be authorised and carried out, while also showing where another booked trade affects the sequence. Two nearby properties can therefore require very different preparation even when the initial description sounds similar.

Questions about extreme cleaning in Paris 15th
Why does Défi Clean distinguish the requester from the person who can authorise?
Because the first person to call may only be reporting a problem or helping somebody else organise the situation. Their request does not automatically give them authority to permit entry, approve sorting or decide what can be removed. The relevant decisions must come from the person entitled to make them.
Does a formal notice or complaint allow work to start?
Not by itself. A notice, complaint or report can explain why action is being sought, but it does not automatically provide permission to enter the property or deal with belongings. The appropriate authority for access and the individual operations still has to be established before the working scope is confirmed.
What is the difference between sorting, clearance and cleaning?
Sorting separates belongings according to agreed instructions. Clearance concerns items whose removal has been authorised. Cleaning deals with accessible surfaces and soiling. These operations may follow one another, but one does not automatically include the others and each can have a different scope.
When is a specialist treatment considered?
A specialist treatment is considered when the situation found calls for an operation beyond general cleaning, such as defined disinfection or decontamination. It is not selected simply because a room looks dirty or neglected. The need depends on the affected surfaces, the identified issue and the authorised area.
Why do other booked trades matter to the cleaning scope?
Their work may determine when a surface becomes accessible or whether it will be disturbed again afterwards. A remover may first need to clear a space, while a contractor may later create new dust. Défi Clean describes those dependencies without coordinating the other trades or committing to their dates.
Can the same request involve more than one service page?
Yes. A property may involve sorting, clearance, cleaning and a later restoration stage, for example. The hub helps separate those needs rather than treating them as one undifferentiated service. Each dedicated page explains the particular limits and decisions relevant to that part of the work.
Does being in Paris 15th imply availability for a particular date?
No. Location identifies the area of the request but does not establish availability or a deadline. The scope still depends on what must be treated, who can authorise the work and whether other booked trades affect access or the sequence of operations.
