How do you clean a house in unsanitary condition?

What is squalor cleanup?
Squalor cleanup is the removal of filth, waste, spoiled food and contamination from a home in unsanitary condition, followed by deep cleaning and disinfecting. It is also called filth cleanup or extreme cleaning. A cleanup team uses protective gear and approved products.
What rules apply to waste disposal in Texas?
Worker safety falls under federal rules, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Local code officers and health departments decide whether a home meets local standards.
