Surfaces are scrubbed with approved products and disinfected. Kitchens, bathrooms and sleeping areas get the closest attention.
Approved disinfectants are applied and left wet for the time on the label. The crew checks the air and surfaces in each room before leaving.

A single room is often finished in a day, while a full house can take several days. Size, waste, soaked materials and odor change the timeline. Pest control and repairs come after the cleaning.
