What Is Neglect Cleaning?
Neglect cleaning — known in French as nettoyage incurie — refers to the professional cleaning of properties where the occupant has been unable to maintain basic hygiene standards due to mental health conditions, illness, or isolation. The result is often a severe accumulation of waste, filth, and biological hazards that require specialised intervention far beyond standard cleaning services.
Signs of Severe Neglect
- Extreme accumulation of rubbish and objects
- Presence of animal or human waste
- Black mould across walls and ceilings
- Pest infestations (rodents, insects)
- Blocked sinks, drains, and toilets
- Overwhelming, persistent odours
Who Requests This Service?
- Families caring for an elderly or ill relative
- Property owners after a tenancy
- Landlords acting on social services referral

Our Neglect Cleaning Process
Free Assessment and Quote
We evaluate the property in person or via video call, assess the type and level of contamination, identify hazards (biological, chemical, or structural), and provide a written all-inclusive quote within 2 hours.
Site Preparation and Safety
Our team establishes a safety perimeter, puts on full PPE (FFP3 masks, sealed overalls, gloves), and prepares specialist equipment: HEPA-filter vacuums, industrial steam cleaners, and biocide solutions.
Waste Removal and Sorting
All waste is carefully sorted: salvageable items are set aside for the family or donated, recyclables are separated, and hazardous waste is packaged and removed according to French environmental regulations.
Deep Clean and Disinfection
Every surface — floors, walls, ceilings, fixtures — is scrubbed, washed, and treated with a professional-grade biocide disinfectant. Mould is treated at the source to prevent regrowth.
Odour Elimination and Final Inspection
We use ozone generators or thermal fogging to neutralise deeply embedded odours. A final walkthrough is conducted with the client, and an intervention report is provided upon completion.
