- Suit up for a job - When arriving for a job, you should have the proper PPE. We work with chemicals to clean and disinfect dangerous germs and pathogens. Safety is a requirement. ALWAYS.
- Clean a bio job - Each call for a bio job is unique. Make sure you bring the right chemicals and equipment and you’ll be set to get the home back to normal.
- Clean a hoarding job - A typical hoarding job can take a few days to complete. Clean, organize, and sanitize and you’ll be on your way.
- Send an invoice - Price your job reasonably and send your invoice out. Work with your client or their insurance to get paid.
