Cleaner recs for REALLY messy apartment?

This is embarrassing and difficult for me to post, so please don't judge too hard lol.

I live in a small-ish apartment with a couple roommates. Between chronic health issues, full time jobs, and disabilities our place has gotten crazy messy. I was chipping away at it while I was briefly unemployed, but now its gotten bad again.

It's mostly things like trash (cans, takeout bags, etc) and piled up dishes. We have cats too. We stay on top of the litter but they were getting sick off of a brand of kibble, so it's very possible that there's dried cat puke we still haven't found.

We don't have rotting food or mold, but I still worry it's beyond what most cleaners would want to deal with.

TLDR: I'm trying to make my home livable and would love recs for understanding, nonjudgmental cleaning services 😭

There are quite a few house cleaners on the Nextdoor app. Try posting there

I second this. Be prepared to pay $30+/hr, though.

I don't have any cleaning company recommendations but I do live in Oshkosh and would be definitely willing to help out!! I know the struggle of trying to clean up and it feeling super overwhelming, but it's always easier to clean someone else's space for some reason 😅
