When a loved one passes away in a Parisian home, the situation often requires more than ordinary cleaning. Défi Clean provides specialist after-death cleaning services in Paris and across Île-de-France: biological decontamination, removal of organic matter, professional disinfection, and clearance of personal belongings. Our comprehensive service accompanies families with discretion and respect during the most difficult moments.

Complete After-Death Cleaning and Clearance Service in Paris

Défi Clean is the Parisian company specialising in restoring homes after a death. Our service covers three essential components:

• Biological cleaning and decontamination: removal of bodily fluids, surface disinfection, treatment of decomposition odours.
• Clearance of personal belongings: sorting objects, removing furniture and effects, recycling recoverable items, disposal at approved waste facilities.
• Property restoration: general cleaning, deodorisation, return of a clean and safe apartment or house to the family or landlord.

Our technicians, equipped with professional materials (PPE, biocidal products, HEPA vacuums), respond rapidly across Paris and surrounding districts: Seine-Saint-Denis (93), Val-de-Marne (94), Hauts-de-Seine (92).

Our After-Death Cleaning Services in Paris

Biological Disinfection and Decontamination

When a body remains in a home for several days or weeks before discovery, decomposition causes significant bacterial and viral contamination. The health risks are real: pathogenic bacteria, viruses (HIV, hepatitis), fungal spores. Only a company specialised in biological decontamination has the equipment and products to address these situations safely.

Our disinfection protocol uses certified biocidal products (EN 14476, EN 1276) applied by nebulisation or high-pressure spray. Each intervention is tailored to the situation: late discovery of natural death, violent death (suicide, homicide), death linked to Diogenes syndrome.

Clearance, Sorting and Removal

After-death clearance is often inseparable from cleaning. Our service includes:

• Sorting objects: identifying items to keep for the family, items to donate, and effects to remove.
• Removal of furniture and bulky items: equipped vans, teams trained to handle heavy loads in Parisian apartments (stairs, restricted access).
• Recycling recoverable items: furniture, appliances, clothing — redistributed to charities or approved recycling channels.
• Disposal of biological waste: soiled materials, mattresses, contaminated textiles — evacuated as infectious clinical waste (DASRI).

Odour Treatment

Decomposition odours penetrate deeply into porous materials in Parisian properties (parquet, plaster, concrete). Neutralising them requires a three-step approach:

• Mechanical removal of all residual organic sources
• Application of enzymatic odour neutralisers to porous surfaces
• Ozone treatment using a high-concentration professional generator (20–50 g/h) in a sealed environment

After-Death Cleaning: Situations We Handle

Late Discovery of Death

The most common situation requiring our intervention is the late discovery of a death, most often in a Parisian apartment. When several days or weeks have elapsed, decomposition of the body has contaminated the property. The cost of restoration is proportional to the delay: from €1,500 excl. VAT (death discovered after 3–5 days) to €8,000 excl. VAT (advanced decomposition, several weeks).

Violent Death: Suicide and Homicide

A death by suicide or homicide often involves significant biological projections (blood, bone fragments, brain matter). These situations require immediate decontamination after the authorities (police) have released the scene. Défi Clean intervenes as soon as the crime scene is released, with a specific protocol.

Death with Diogenes Syndrome

Some deaths occur in unsanitary homes linked to Diogenes syndrome. In this case, after-death cleaning is accompanied by a large-scale clearance: hundreds of accumulated objects, organic waste, multiple health risks. Our company regularly handles these complex situations in Paris and Seine-Saint-Denis.

Cost and Free Quote

The cost of after-death cleaning varies according to the size of the property, the extent of contamination and the services required (cleaning only, or cleaning + clearance). Indicative prices:

• Recent death (under 24 hours), single room: from €600 excl. VAT
• Death discovered after a few days: €1,500 to €3,000 excl. VAT
• Advanced decomposition or violent death: €3,000 to €8,000 excl. VAT

Insurance Coverage

After-death cleaning costs are often covered by the home insurance policy on the property concerned, particularly in cases of late discovery. Défi Clean provides all necessary documentation for your claim: quote, detailed invoice, decontamination certificate, before-and-after photographic report. Costs may also be charged to the estate, subject to agreement from the notary and heirs.
