Frequently Asked Questions
Does the junk removal crew clean up after themselves?
Most crews do a basic sweep of debris they created during loading -- loose items that fell, packaging, and similar. A thorough cleaning of floors and surfaces is not standard. You should expect to do some basic cleaning after the crew leaves.
Is there a cleanout service that includes cleaning?
Some companies offer cleanout plus basic cleaning as a bundled service. More commonly, these are separate companies -- junk removal companies remove items, cleaning companies clean surfaces. Ask the junk removal company if they have cleaning partners they can refer if you need both done.
What debris should I expect after a junk removal job?
The area where items were stored often has dust, dirt, and small debris that becomes visible after the items are gone. This is not created by the crew -- it accumulated under and around items over time. A standard broom-and-mop cleanup handles it in most cases.
