Bio hazard cleanup is a difficult task to say the least; this is especially true when it has to do with a scene of crime such as violence or suicide. There are also cases such as unattended death where a person staying alone, especially elderly family members, slip and fall to their death where they remain undiscovered for days on end. Such places will require a very advanced death cleanup procedure as well as decontamination for the sake of restoration. The greatest mistake you can ever make as a family is to hire someone who is unqualified to do biohazard cleanup; some people hire carpet cleaning or mold restoration companies for this unique job.

In most cases, families don’t realize they have been taken for a ride until such a time as when they have to start spending more money to deal with odor removal. When blood or other body fluids spill on the floor they will almost always seep in to the padding or underlying layers and the subfloor. This is not all. Most crime scenes have fluids splashed even on the walls or other nearby fixtures such as bathrooms and doorways. Unqualified bio hazard cleanup companies may not have the right techniques and equipment to take care of such biohazards and what’s more, they are not even permitted to carry out such exercises.

While carpet cleaning companies have a specific role to play in society, expecting them to manage crime scene clean up is a tall order. There are reasons they will not be able to manage this delicate exercise:

Violation of law: There is specific training that is required for any technician handling biohazard cleanup so they could be protected from any blood borne pathogens. The same companies doing death cleanup need to be registered and obtain the required permits before they begin offering services.

Equipment: The chemicals and equipment used by commercial carpet cleaners are not in any way fit for use in blood cleanup exercises. Biohazard cleanup scenes require specialized chemicals that will effectively kill blood borne pathogens or any other potentially infectious materials and they also need to have industrial strength deodorizers as well as the machines to do the job properly.

Certification: Crime scene cleanup technicians are properly trained in the handling of biohazard waste and apart from the training, they also need to be dedicated to their jobs for their own safety and that of family members. They are certified contractors who are trained for high level bio recovery cleanup exercise who will handle any job regardless of size or complexity. What’s more, they are also insured and they know how to deal with adjusters and will also help family member with a lot of paper work regarding death cleanup claims that families are almost always never familiar with.
