Juliette had always been a tidy sort of person, when one lived alone and spent so much time in their home with eight cats it sort of just came naturally to keep up the cleanliness. Even when she was forced out of her other apartment and had to make due with new arrangements, she had managed to keep her new place on the 4th floor as neat as possible. Even with supplied and means being a little lower than they had been. But she tried.
There had been notices around and requests of in Clearview to from time to time take care of the unused rooms - and maybe some of the used - and clean them out. The older resident was more than happy and willing to do just that. It was something that could be done easily, and with her dizziness finally residing just a bit it didn't seem like it would be too difficult.
Even at her age, stairs weren't too much of a challenge. She herself managed the four that were required. A few more shouldn't have hurt, or so she thought. Well, getting to floor ten wasn't too terrible, it had only been six more. But that was when he dizziness decided to make its ugly return and she had to rest. (Why did she decide to go to the 14th?)
Several minutes later, her head cleared enough finally to a level that allowed her to continue up with her supplies. Only four were left. Juliette pushed open the door that lead to the hallway and looked for one of the doors that seemed like it wouldn't have been locked or at least showed signs of occupation. 1450 was decided and she stepped in to find the mess she would be facing.

It did seem to be in a sorry state, she realized when she pushed over the door. A few shoves were needed in order to just get it open thanks to a few items that had been attempted to be placed to block the door and then haphazardly pulled away in order for the former residents to escape.
It was a one bedroom apartment from the looks of it. Only three total rooms to clean really - the main with the kitchen attached, the bedroom itself and then the bathroom. It didn't seem like it would be too bad. Maybe just take the better part of the day for her.

The first room to tackle seemed to be the obvious, the first area happened to be the door. Carefully as she could manage she pushed the objects blocking the door out of the way and piled them neatly in front of the couch. If anything, all the objects needing to be thrown out would go there (she'd ask one of the strapping young fellows to help her later perhaps).
The pile would only get bigger with how many objects had been broken in the chaos of those first few days and she had only brought with her so many trash bags. Small knickknacks were found to have survived and everything deemed unusable for the rest of the residents of the apartments were placed back onto shelves and spaces after a little bit of dusting. There was less saved than there were in piles to bring back down for other means. (She decided to take one a cute little cat statue that she had found).
The fridge, she found, had been raided long ago. It made sense that it would have been completely empty by this point, not even the ice trays remained. The cupboards were also bare, as were the drawers. The kitchen didn't actually need much clean up with how empty it was. All Juliette did was close off the water valve to the sink so the unusable water wouldn't decide to drip at some point and ruin everything.
The last thing she did in the room was clean the windows.

The next room she tackled was the bedroom, it seemed as much as a bad state as the main room. There were broken pieces of funriture, it looked like it had been looted for important and useful items (she hoped it hadn't been of her own, really) and there.. was a little bit of blood on the pillow. It was the only piece of linen left in the room and she could see for good reason.
The pillow was taken off the bed and put in yet another pile of discards. There was another pile for useful items, but not as large as the one in the other room. Small trinkets were put back in their place and Juliette simply tidied up the place as well as dusted. (There was no way to vacuum after all). Everything was rearranged in hopefully the order as the previous owner had left it.

Last but not least was the bathroom. Juliette if the previous owner ever cleaned up in there or if... well, someone had decided to just make a mess of it given the type of room it was. It seemed pointless to clean the toilet given the water wasn't usable so the valve to that was turned off as was the one under the sink.
All that needed to be cleaned, really, was the shower - she did the best she could with the limited supplies - the mirror - same as the shower - and the floor - again. Thankfully the room was small enough to not take too much time.
Seeing as how everything was finished, Juliette grabbed what she had brought up and a few of the items from the other rooms to take down to the group. She would make a note to tell some of the others to collect the rest of it when she finally got back down to the first level - thankfully.. it was going down stairs now.
