TWICE.DSello said:What gets meth esidue off of my clothes, shoes, etc...my whole apt has been vandalized with chemicals and I took a test and it was positive for meth. Also, I think some chemical was put either in my shampoo or conditioner and my hair fell out and I was burning really bad but my skin was not red. I need to send samples to a lab to be analyzed I think. I've been poisoned. I have nothing left. My car got vandalized too. I've been washing my clothes in Vinegar and laundry detergent. I had to move all my contents from my apt or get sued for leaving everything. Why is it how to make method is all over the internet and easy to find but not how to save my property? Can someone please help me? Its really hot and all my stuff is in plastic bags in my storage and I can't stand the fumes and I won't drive my car and I am horrified. I need some help if possible. Thanks DSello
Cleaner said:Sorry, I'm not a chemist nor in the sciences. I flip homes for a profit so I only speak from experience and nothing else. I have cleaned 9 meth homes. Its an average cost of $7000 to pay a professional company to do it. I can usually get it done for about $200 including new overalls, masks, goggles, and cleaning supplies. Usually takes me 2 days for an average home. Paying the third party inspector is the single largest expense at $120 per visit. Regarding toxic compounds... I highly suggest respirator masks while doing this work.
