The passing of a loved one is always difficult. In the midst of grief, the task of cleaning up the death scene can feel overwhelming. As a crime scene cleanup technician, I provide discreet, professional cleaning services to help families move forward. With proper training and equipment, I can thoroughly sanitize the area with care and empathy.
Understanding the Need for Specialized Services
The death of a person, whether from natural causes or trauma, leaves behind biohazardous materials that require special handling. Bodily fluids and decomposition residues pose risks of infection. Only professional companies have the expertise to fully remediate.
Blood and Bodily Fluids
Blood and body fluids contain pathogens that could infect if not properly cleaned. Proper protective equipment like suits, gloves, face shields and respirators protect workers from exposure. Disinfectants registered by the EPA kill dangerous bacteria and viruses. Thorough application to all affected areas neutralizes risks.
Decomposition Residue
As part of the natural process, the human body begins to decompose soon after death. This results in the release oforganic matter, gases and strong odors. Particulate residues also settle on surrounding surfaces. Complete remediation requires deep cleaning techniques and odor mitigation treatments.
Unattended Deaths
When a person dies and is not discovered immediately, more extensive decomposition occurs. This increases biohazard risks from bodily fluids and gases. Cases involving suicide, homicide or unattended deaths require special remediation tactics.
The Trauma Scene Cleanup Process
With training in crime scene restoration and a strict protocol, I can return any property to a clean, safe condition:
Initial Site Assessment
First, I conduct a walkthrough to gauge the extent of the incident. This allows me to prepare necessary supplies and assess any health risks. I document the condition of the scene through photos and notes.
Personal Protective Equipment
Before disturbing any contaminated materials, I don protective coveralls, gloves, footwear and respiratory gear. This specialized PPE prevents exposure during material removal.
Removal and Neutralization
Starting from least to most affected areas, I carefully remove any solid materials and residue. As I work, I apply disinfectants approved by the EPA for the inactivation of pathogens.
Surface Cleaning
All affected surfaces undergo thorough scrubbing and cleaning to remove any remaining particulate matter. Cleaners and degreasers break down stubborn residues.
Odor Mitigation
To counteract any lingering odors from decomposition, I apply specialized odor counteractants. These pleasant-smelling solutions permanently eliminate odors without masking.
Waste Disposal
Finally, I properly dispose of all biohazardous waste. My company partners with licensed waste transporters and treatment facilities to safely process contaminated materials removed from scenes.
