Porous materials that cannot be cleaned are cut away. The rest is scrubbed and sanitized in layers, so no spot is left to chance.
4. Deodorize and document
Odor sources are treated, not masked. The team photographs and records the work so insurers, landlords and families have what they need.

Biohazard Clean Up Questions From York, AL Property Owners
Is dried blood still a biohazard?
Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and scraping or sweeping it can put particles in the air. Leave it alone, keep people away and have a cleanup team treat it with protective gear.
What happens to carpet and mattresses after a biohazard event?
Soaked carpet, padding and mattresses are usually removed and sealed for disposal. Germs and odors sink deep, and disinfectant cannot reach them all. Hard surfaces can usually be cleaned and kept.
Who does biohazard cleanup?
Specialized biohazard cleaners do the work, not police, firefighters or ordinary cleaning services. After law enforcement releases a scene, the owner, family or property manager hires a cleanup company. The crew takes care of removal, disinfection and waste.
How do I choose among biohazard cleanup companies?
Ask what training the crew has, how it deals with waste, whether it works with insurers and whether it can provide references. A good company explains the process in plain words. Then decide if the company is the right fit.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Keep people and pets away from the area, and do not touch or wipe anything. Open an exterior window only if it is safe, and photograph what you can for insurance from a distance. Call 911 first if anyone is in danger.
How much does biohazard cleanup cost per hour?
Most cleanup is priced by the job instead of by the hour, because the work depends on the scene. Ask what a quote covers, such as labor, materials, waste and travel. That makes it easier to compare companies.
