What is extreme cleaning?

Extreme cleaning is a specialized cleaning service that tackles environments considered hazardous, heavily soiled, or otherwise beyond the scope of regular cleaning. This can include sites affected by hoarding, trauma, unattended deaths, biohazards, or severe neglect. Extreme cleaners are trained to safely handle biological materials, strong odors, and contamination, often using industrial-grade equipment and protective gear. Their work is crucial for restoring properties to a safe and habitable condition, often following strict health and safety regulations.

Common Search/ComparisonYesNo

Extreme Cleaning involves intensive, often hazardous cleaning tasks requiring specialized skills and certifications, suitable for deep cleaning in various environments. Pressure Washing focuses on outdoor surface cleaning using high-pressure water, typically for maintenance. While both are cleaning services, they serve different purposes and environments.

What are some common challenges faced in Extreme Cleaning roles, and how can I prepare for them?

Extreme Cleaning professionals often encounter challenging environments, such as hoarded homes, biohazard situations, or spaces affected by hazardous materials. Common challenges include managing exposure to unpleasant odors, ensuring strict adherence to safety protocols, and handling emotionally sensitive situations with clients. To prepare, it's important to obtain proper training in health and safety procedures, practice empathy and strong communication skills, and build physical stamina for demanding tasks. Many employers provide on-the-job training, but demonstrating resilience and a commitment to safety will help you succeed in this field.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Extreme Cleaner, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Extreme Cleaner, you need knowledge of deep cleaning techniques, hazardous material handling, and often a background in janitorial or sanitation services. Familiarity with industrial cleaning equipment, personal protective equipment (PPE), and certifications such as OSHA or HAZWOPER are commonly required. Strong attention to detail, resilience, and the ability to work efficiently under challenging and potentially distressing conditions are vital soft skills. These competencies ensure safety, thoroughness, and professionalism when tackling the most demanding cleaning environments.

A Real Job With Real Hours — and Fridays Off.

We run a Sunday through Thursday work week. That means no more losing your weekends to a job. Flexible hours, steady pay, and a crew that works hard and looks out for each other. If you're someone who takes pride in doing a job right, you'll fit in here.


What You'll Do

  • Operate pressure washing equipment and specialty cleaning tools
  • Work as part of a small crew and hold yourself to a high standard every job
  • Drive a company vehicle; some overnight travel required

What We're Looking For

  • Dependable — the crew counts on you
  • Valid driver's license and insurable driving record
  • At least 18 years old
  • Able to climb ladders, access rooftops, and lift up to 50 lbs
  • No experience needed — we train from day one

What You Get

  • $22.00/hr during training period — jumps to $25.00/hr once training is complete
  • Overtime pay
  • Bonus opportunities
  • Health insurance with optional dental & vision (full-time employees)
  • Paid time off
  • Year-round employment — North Dakota winters don't slow us down
