Gross Filth Cleaning in Fort Myers, FL
Deep decontamination of severely neglected living spaces — the level of cleaning that goes well beyond what a standard cleaning service can safely handle.
What gross filth cleaning actually involves
"Gross filth" describes properties where neglect has gone on long enough that standard cleaning isn't sufficient — deeply embedded grime, mold, pest activity, spoiled food, and sometimes human or animal waste that has built up over months or years.
These properties often require a full deep-clean sequence: heavy debris removal first, then surface decontamination, then treatment of anything that's penetrated into porous materials like grout, carpet, or drywall.
Unlike a hoarding situation, gross filth cleaning is usually less about the volume of belongings and more about the degree of neglect and biological contamination across every surface.
Certified protocol isn't a slogan on this job — it's the standard we're held to on every property, every time.
Technicians wear full PPE appropriate to the level of biological contamination present, following OSHA safety guidance for hazardous and unsanitary conditions.
Where waste or biological material meets regulated thresholds, disposal follows Florida Administrative Code Chapter 64E-16.
We use EPA-registered disinfectants suited to the specific contamination present, whether that's mold, bacteria, or organic waste.
"Gross filth jobs are deceiving from the doorway — it always looks worse, or sometimes better, than it actually is once you're inside. We do a full walkthrough before quoting anything, because guessing from photos alone almost never gets it right."
— Michelle, Client Care

Yes, we regularly work on properties where neglect has led to pest activity, and we treat that as part of the overall cleanup.
Is this covered by insurance?
It depends on the circumstances — we're happy to help you understand whether your situation might qualify and provide documentation either way.
Do you work with landlords and property managers?
Yes, this is one of our most common calls — restoring a severely neglected rental to a livable, marketable condition.
