VHA Extreme Clean: Helping people live better and safely. VHA’s unique Extreme Cleaning Program helps people regain control of their living space and life by providing:
- Experienced, trained cleaners who work with clients and family members to meet public health standards so they can remain at home for as long as possible.
- Weekly follow-up cleaning support after the initial clean out to avoid relapse, based on staffing availability.
- Referrals and links to other local community resources for long-term needs.
- There must be multiple needs to address, not just poor housekeeping
- Not a Pre and Post preparation service for pest control treatment.
