We often carry out rental / property cleaning.
On one occasion we were asked to quote for the cleaning of a small one bed bungalow that a couple had lived in for a very long time.
The occupants had met their end, and relatives needed the place cleaning so that the property could be sold.
I am sure that no cleaning had taken place for at least 20 years
For example, on top of a wardrobe the dust was so thick that the water in the bucket needed changing after cleaning this one item.
The small kitchen took 6 hours to clean, (two people).
The complete job took 2 of us 18 hours!
The last herendous job I was asked to quote for was a one bed flat where a gentleman with a drink problem had lived since the 1970s.
The place had not been touched since then, I'm led to believe.
Food and fat stains down the kitchen walls, cigarett dimps still nestling in the carpets.........and well, I'll leave the rest to your imagination.
I said to the customer (the gentlemans niece) I would not be able to let any member of staff into the flat due to health hazard, to which she fully understood.
Have any of you come accross jobs like this.........let us know.
