In my novel, I have a group of teenagers cleaning out a house that was used for hoarding cats. (The cats have moved out.) Everything's covered in cat hair. There's catshit and pee in the carpet and on beds and sofas, which are ripped by catclaws. The place stinks.
They've got a dumpster set up, and have hauled out all the furniture. Then they've ripped out the carpet. Now they're getting a bucket of bleach solution and are going to use it to mop floors, walls, counters - basically all surfaces but the ceiling (which may be the only clean space in the house).
Is this enough? What else do they need to do? I don't want them to have to do structural stuff like ripping out floors and sheetrock...
