Extreme cleaning in Paris: services across all 20 arrondissements
Défi Clean provides specialist cleaning services throughout Paris
for homes requiring more than routine cleaning:
Diogenes syndrome and hoarding, unsanitary housing,
severely dirty apartments, clearance, after-death cleaning,
decontamination and property restoration.

Floor level, lifts, staircases, shared areas, courtyards,
cellars and the carrying distance to the vehicle can all affect
how an intervention has to be organised.

Extreme cleaning company in Paris
Extreme cleaning is not simply a more intensive version of ordinary
domestic cleaning. The scope depends on the actual condition of the
property, the rooms that can be accessed, the amount of material present
and the operations that have been authorised.
Depending on the situation, the work may involve sorting belongings,
clearing authorised items, opening access to rooms, deep cleaning
accessible surfaces or carrying out additional treatments
where they are required.
Défi Clean can work with private individuals, families, landlords,
property owners, managing agents and other authorised contacts
responsible for organising work in a Paris property.
Floor area alone does not define the scope.
Accumulation, rooms concerned, access conditions,
surfaces and belongings that must remain in place
also need to be considered.

Why extreme cleaning in Paris requires specific planning
Two properties with a similar level of accumulation or deterioration
may require very different arrangements because of their location
inside the building. Access therefore forms part of the scope
rather than being treated as a secondary detail.
Upper floors without a lift
Floor level, staircase width, landings and turns
can determine how authorised items can be carried out
of the property.
Shared lifts
A lift does not necessarily accommodate every item.
Its dimensions and shared use can affect
the sequence of the work.
Internal courtyards
Several doors, corridors, courtyards or buildings
may separate the apartment from the street
and increase the carrying distance.
Vehicle and loading access
A vehicle cannot always stop directly outside the entrance.
The actual loading point therefore needs to be considered
when organising clearance.
Shared areas
Landings, staircases, corridors and lifts may remain
in use by other occupants while the work is taking place.
Cellars and separate annexes
A cellar, service room or separate lot is not automatically
included in the scope of the main apartment.
Its access and condition need to be identified separately.
How to prepare an extreme cleaning request in Paris
A few practical details make it easier to understand the property
before the scope is defined. Where possible, provide the type of property,
approximate floor area, number of rooms concerned, floor level
and whether a lift is available.
For an overcrowded or hoarded property, also indicate whether
specific furniture, documents, personal belongings or areas
must remain untouched. Photographs can supplement this description
when they are available.
- Property: studio, apartment, house, cellar or separate annex.
- Layout: approximate floor area and rooms concerned.
- Access: floor, lift, staircase, courtyard and distance to the street.
- Accumulation: amount present and areas that remain accessible.
- Items to keep: belongings or areas that must not be moved.
