AFTER DEATH CLEAN UP

After death clean up, also known as biohazard remediation is part of a trauma cleaning. It refers to the process of cleaning and sanitizing a scene after a traumatic event such as a suicide, homicide, unattended death, or any other incident where biological materials such as blood, bodily fluids, and tissues are present.

​

The process of after death clean up involves several steps to ensure that the scene is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. The first step is to secure the scene and ensure that no one enters until the cleaning process is complete. Once the scene is secured, the next step is to assess the extent of the damage and determine the equipment and materials needed for the cleaning process.

​

The cleaning process itself involves removing any visible traces of biological materials from surfaces such as floors, walls, and furniture. This is done using specialized equipment and chemicals designed to break down and remove biological matter. All contaminated materials are disposed of in accordance with local regulations, and any surfaces that cannot be cleaned are removed and properly disposed of.

​

Once the physical cleaning is complete, the area is then sanitized and disinfected to eliminate any remaining pathogens. This is done using industrial-strength disinfectants and equipment such as foggers to ensure that all surfaces and areas are thoroughly disinfected. The final step is to test the area to ensure that it is safe and free of any remaining contaminants.

​

After death clean up is a highly specialized and sensitive process that requires expertise and experience. It is important to choose a reputable and professional trauma cleaning company that has the necessary training and equipment to handle the cleaning process safely and effectively. Failure to properly clean and sanitize a scene after a traumatic event can lead to serious health risks and emotional trauma for those involved.
