Extreme cleaning

Diogenes syndrome: getting back on your feet, gently

An overwhelmed home is never just a matter of housekeeping. We work with method, discretion and respect, without judgement.

Support, not just cleaning

Diogenes syndrome leads to an accumulation of objects and waste that makes a home barely liveable. Behind every job there is a person and a story: our first priority is respect. We move at the pace of the occupants and the family, in the utmost discretion, with neutral vehicles and clothing if you wish. For these situations, we work well beyond the Nord: we travel across all of France and all of Belgium.

In practice, we proceed in stages: sorting and clearing bulky items, disposal through the appropriate channels, deep cleaning of every surface, then disinfection and odour removal. Floors, walls, the kitchen and the bathrooms are restored until the interior is healthy and safe again.

Every situation is unique: the floor area, the level of clutter and the sanitary condition determine the duration and the price, always set by quote. We can coordinate the work with a relative, a guardian, a social landlord or social services.

FAQ

Diogenes syndrome: your questions

Do you work with complete discretion?

Yes, it's a priority. We can use neutral vehicles and clothing, schedule the work at a discreet time and deal only with the people you tell us to.

Does everything have to be thrown away?

No. We sort with the occupants or the family to preserve important items, papers and valuables. Nothing is removed without prior agreement.

How long does the work take?

It depends on the floor area and the level of clutter: from a day to several days. We give you a precise estimate of the duration and price when we quote.

Does the tax credit apply?

Clearance and waste disposal do not qualify for the home-services tax credit. Depending on the exact nature of the service, we'll tell you what is eligible and what isn't, without making false promises.
