About Extreme Cleaning & Hoarding Cleanup
Extreme cleaning covers homes that need more than a deep clean: heavy clutter, years of buildup, or conditions that make normal cleaning impossible. Our crews work step by step.

Hoarding Cleanup in NYC: Small Apartments, Big Volume, No Judgment
Hoarding cleanup in New York comes with limits most cities do not have. Apartments are compact, hallways are narrow, and everything that leaves the unit has to pass through a lobby, an elevator, or a walk-up staircase. The job is as much about logistics and patience as it is about scrubbing.
Planning Around the Building, Not Just the Apartment
A one-bedroom in a pre-war building can hold years of belongings, and getting them out means carrying bags down four flights or booking a freight elevator with a super who has strong views on timing. We plan around building rules, quiet hours, and access windows before any work begins. Property managers, co-op boards, and landlords often get involved when a unit has been flagged, so clear scheduling matters from the first day. Safety comes first in cramped units. Blocked exits, unstable piles, and sharp or broken items are dealt with before anything else, and crews work with gloves, masks, and other protective gear. The work then moves in stages: open a safe walking path, sort what stays and what goes, remove the waste, and clean the surfaces that were buried underneath. Rushing that order is how documents, keepsakes, and medication end up in the wrong bag.
Cleaning What Was Buried
Once the clutter is cleared, the real condition of the apartment shows. Kitchens often need degreasing and appliance cleaning. Bathrooms can need heavy scale and mildew removal. Floors, walls, and baseboards carry years of settled dust and grime, and in older NYC buildings the radiators, window tracks, and the gaps behind them collect the most. Trash and debris are removed in stages so the space is never worse halfway through than it was at the start. Odors sit in porous materials like carpet and upholstery, so they need proper treatment rather than air freshener. Every home is different, which is why the process begins with a walkthrough and a clear scope of work. The resident decides what stays, and the crew handles belongings and privacy with care. The crew does not judge what it finds and does not ask for explanations.

Extreme Cleaning FAQs
Most common Extreme Cleaning & Hoarding Cleanup questions
Read these before booking Extreme Cleaning
What is hoarding cleanup, and how is it different from deep cleaning?
Deep cleaning assumes a home you can walk through. Hoarding cleanup starts earlier: opening pathways, sorting belongings, and removing waste, then cleaning everything that was buried. It takes more planning, more time, and a different approach.
Is the service discreet?
Yes. Our crews work quietly and treat the home and its contents with respect. We do not judge what we find and we do not ask for explanations.
What happens during the walkthrough?
We look at the space, ask what you would like to achieve, and note any building access rules. You receive a clear scope and quote before any work starts.
Will my belongings be thrown away without my say?
No. The resident decides what stays. Keepsakes, documents, and valuables we come across are set aside for you to review.
How long does it take?
It depends on volume and condition. A lightly cluttered apartment can take one day. A full-unit cleanup can take several. The walkthrough gives you a realistic estimate.
Can a family member, landlord, or property manager book on my behalf?
Yes. Family members, landlords, and property managers often make the booking. Where possible, the resident is part of the plan, which makes the process smoother for everyone.
Can you get rid of the odor?
We treat the source of the odor: surfaces, floors, and porous materials like carpet and upholstery. Deep sanitizing and proper products do the work, not air fresheners.
What if there are pests or biohazard conditions?
Tell us during the walkthrough. If the space needs a specialist, such as significant biohazard contamination, we will say so and point you in the right direction.
Do you service my neighborhood?
We serve Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, and Jersey City. Check the locations page to see your area.
How is extreme cleaning priced?
After a walkthrough, based on the volume of items, the condition of the space, and how many people and days the job needs.
