Limpiezas Especiales Diógenes

About us

This Barcelona-based company intervenes in spaces where traumatic events have occurred that require specialized restoration. Its activity focuses on eliminating any unpleasant traces through sanitization and disinfection processes of the scene or place of death. The objective is to return the affected space to its original state.

The action process includes several distinct steps:

- Classification and removal of all generated waste
- Transfer of materials to specialized treatment facilities
- Disinfection of all affected areas with specific biocidal products
- Elimination of bad odors through specialized techniques
- Ozonation with ozone generators to restore the space to 100%

The company handles situations related to Diogenes syndrome, a behavioral disorder that typically affects elderly people living alone. This syndrome is characterized by social isolation, confinement to the home, and neglect of personal hygiene. The main symptom is the accumulation of items with no apparent use, reaching the point of storing large quantities of garbage and waste.

According to data from the National Statistics Institute, people over 65 represent 18.2% of the Spanish population and will account for nearly 40% in the next 15 years. Around 250,000 people, 3% of the population over 65, are affected by Diogenes syndrome or other associated disorders. They live in situations of social isolation, filth, lack of personal hygiene, and accumulation of unnecessary objects.

This syndrome is not necessarily linked to a mental illness diagnosis, but rather is considered a social problem related to situations of loneliness and isolation. It does not always correspond to a low socioeconomic level, nor does it mean that people are necessarily alone or suffer from dementia. It affects people who are or feel isolated regardless of their situation.

Interventions are necessary because these situations create serious public health and safety problems, both for the affected individual and for the community of neighbors. Risks include bad odors, rodent infestations, fires, floods, dampness, and property deterioration. The service operates 24 hours a day to handle emergencies requiring immediate action.
