Factors affecting the price of cleaning an unsanitary home
Several elements can affect the total cost of cleaning a very dirty house or flat:
Size of the home: The larger the property, the more time it will take to clean. A studio is faster to clean than a villa!
Degree of dirtiness: A dusty floor with a few stains will take less time and resources than a floor cluttered with ingrained stains.
Type of services required: Scrubbing and disinfecting surfaces, specific cleaning (e.g., after water damage), deodorising spaces, etc.
Accessibility of the property: A flat on an upper floor without a lift, requiring special equipment, will incur extra costs for waste disposal.
Location: Prices may vary depending on the region or city due to the cost of living and the availability of service providers.

Examples of services required in this situation include:
Disposal of clutter and waste,
Deep cleaning of all surfaces,
Complete disinfection of the property,
Pest control and rodent eradication,
Removal of waste to appropriate disposal centres
On various online platforms, you’ll find that the average cleaning cost for a person with Diogenes Syndrome is usually around £500 to £3500, depending on the situation.
