Is anyone on here an 'extreme cleaner'? As in cleaning up after forensic cases?

[Miljah]

It fascinated me for ages; who do the police or council call in when dealing with squalor, pathological hoarding, crime scenes, undiscovered death 😔?

Do they have 'on call teams'?

I'd quite like to do it! How satisfying turning something grotty back into something nice. You'd be able to see where you'd been!

Watching a show on ITV now!

I'm not an extreme cleaner, but years ago our flat got flooded with sewage. The landlord arranged for a company to clean it afterwards. It was spotless. Apparently this company was used by the police to clean forensic scenes. I think you have to have a strong stomach!

Oh I have. Without outing I have had 'involvement' in forensics!

For filthy and verminous (hoarding) student EHO’s if we have any! For cleaning up after someone has died there (just died, not suspicious) it sometimes falls to our pest control officers - they’ve got fairly strong stomachs!

Cleaning up a filthy and verminous isn’t really turning something grotty back into something nice, as the place is like to be in very poor condition anyway, so you can only do so much. And you have to remember that it’s someone’s belongings, even if to you and me it’s rotting maggotty food.

The best way I was told to approach it is to start in a corner and work outwards!

Are you asking because you are surrounded by evidence? ! 👀

I really wanted to do this once but it was a 2 grand residential course and you're not guaranteed work/regular work at the end of it. I haven't looked into it for a number of years since though so things might be easier for training.

I follow an account on Instagram called crimescenecleaning and I am fascinated.

Rentokil have a division you can call for this kind of clear up.

My company (that I work for) does this. We get photos and clean up post sewage leaks and post crime scenes. Haven't had one for a while although we did get a messy suicide in a hotel room last month...

My cousin does it for Rentokil. It's not very glamorous or well paid and it's shiftwork/call out.
One day he's collecting sanitary bins and disinfecting them, the next hosing down roads in the middle of the night after RTAs.

I fear this is the kind of clean I need - small children, aged messy pets - I’ve hired a couple of ‘deep clean’ companies and after 4 hours (2 people) it’s not clean enough!

Ideally you’d be able to turn your place over for a day or two and have all curtains, light fittings and minor handyman tasks (grouting, door handles) done alongside the cleaning. I’d also then need emergency decorating for the painted areas that just can’t be salvaged.

Stopwoofing that service would be top dollar

The time saved though of hiring 5 different sets of people to do all that...

BartonHollow evidence? What evidence? ....

I have a patio for that....
