Questions Owners and Families in Pontotoc, MS Ask About Unsanitary Home Cleanup
What should you not say to someone living in a squalid home?
Avoid words like disgusting or filthy and never say they should be ashamed. Do not throw things out without asking. Stay calm, listen and focus on safety and the next small step.
What health risks come from living in filth?
Spoiled food, waste, pests and mold can spread germs and trigger breathing trouble. They can also lead to falls and injuries. Anyone who feels unwell should see a doctor, and a cleanup lowers the risks in a clear order.
What happens to items that are removed?
Usable goods go to donation or recycling where possible. Spoiled, soiled or unsafe items go to disposal, and waste that may carry germs is handled as regulated medical waste.
Does the resident need to be present?
Not always. If access can be arranged, the caller does not need to be on site. When the resident wants to be there, the crew welcomes it and works at a pace that suits them.
Is a squalid home a biohazard?
It can be. When human or animal waste, blood, body fluids or sharp objects are present, the cleanup follows biohazard methods. Crews wear protective gear and follow rules such as the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030.
