Extreme Clean

    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.

    Step 1: Clean out, de-clutter and discard items.

    Step 2: Thoroughly clean all living spaces in unit including: walls, floors and cupboards, appliances and laundry.

    Step 3: Prepare home for pest control (bedbug, roach) treatment if required.

    Step 4: Help with weekly follow-up maintenance when appropriate.
