Shops & Services ASAP Cleaner for senior home with "accidents"

Hi everyone

I'm looking for recommendations for a cleaner to come to a seniors' home while they are in the hospital to prep and clean their space so that they can come back to a safe and healthy home.

Important: There have been some bathroom-ish accidents that were left but it's not a hoarding situation. I need someone within the next few days and, of course, will pay an excellent wage for this vital service.

Thanks in advance.

Oh man that's a rough situation, props to you for sorting this out for them while they're in the hospital

I'd check the local community Facebook groups, there's always a few cleaners who specialize in exactly this kind of deep clean and can jump in on short notice. Kijiji's worth a shot too but Facebook seems to get faster responses for urgent stuff these days

I'd honestly start with the one specifically for your community and go from there. I live in Bedford and it's not uncommon to see people asking for a cleaner or trying to advertise themselves. Good luck with everything!

Can't recommend any companies/individuals (check Caregivers NS), but can suggest getting a hold of some enzyme cleaner (can get them from pet supply places). I have occasional incontinence after my stroke and its good for getting rid of the smell.

Very smart suggestion. I'll definitely mention that to them.

Also good if racoons take a number 3 on your camping gear and you want to save something. 😤
