Animal hoarding cleanup covers floors, subfloors, walls, furniture, crates and air. Urine soaks deep into porous materials, so surface cleaning alone rarely removes the problem.

The work often covers:
- Sorting out personal papers, photos and valuables for the owner or family
- Odor treatment at the source, including subfloors, walls and furniture
- A final inspection of each room and a plan for repairs, pest control and upkeep
- Respectful handling of the remains of deceased animals when they are found, with proper disposal
- Scrubbing and disinfecting surfaces with EPA-registered products kept wet for the label contact time
