Rainfall in Littleton averages only about 17 inches a year, but dry air does not remove urine from subfloors. The source still has to be taken out. Only about 5% of homes in Littleton are vacant, so most animal hoarding cleanups here involve a home that someone owns or rents and wants to restore.
Animal Hoarding Cleanup in Littleton usually includes:
- Containment of the affected area so contamination does not spread to clean rooms
- Scrubbing and disinfecting surfaces with EPA-registered products kept wet for the label contact time
- Sorting out personal papers, photos and valuables for the owner or family
- Respectful handling of the remains of deceased animals when they are found, with proper disposal
- Taking out carpet, padding, drywall and flooring soaked with urine or waste

Common Questions About Animal Hoarding Clean Up in Littleton, CO
Does the resident need to be present?
Not always. If access can be arranged, the caller does not need to be on site. When the resident wants to be there, the crew welcomes it and works at a pace that suits them.
Is extreme cleaning the same as animal hoarding cleanup?
Not exactly. Extreme cleaning is a broad term for homes in very poor condition, while animal hoarding cleanup targets animal waste, odor and damage. The two can overlap, and a team can combine them in one plan.
Do the animals have to be gone before cleanup starts?
Yes. Cleanup does not begin while animals are still in the home. Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group should clear the property first, and the cleanup team can then plan its work.
Who removes the animals, and who cleans afterward?
Animal control, a humane society or a rescue group usually cares for the animals. A cleanup team takes care of the home afterward. Ask the agency when the home is clear, then call a team to plan the work.
Why does carpet or flooring need to be removed?
Urine soaks through carpet and padding into the subfloor, where it keeps producing odor. Removing soaked materials takes out the source. Hard surfaces that can be cleaned are scrubbed and disinfected instead.
Will personal belongings and papers be saved?
Yes where they can be. The crew sets aside papers, photos, medicine and valuables that can be cleaned, and the owner can name items that must be kept. Items too soiled to clean safely are discarded.
