Biohazard Services

Our biohazard services include blood cleanup following homicides, suicide, unattended deaths, and human decompositions. We provide blood cleanup service twenty-four hours, seven days a week.

Our professional cleaners will take your telephone call and answer your questions. If you like, speak with Ed Evans about your cleaning needs. He will tell you what to expect and what you should expect from a biohazard cleaning company. Eddie might also clean for you. Eddie accepts credit cards, and homeowner's insurance.

In general, decomposition should be handled professionally because of biohazards.

An unattended death demands professional attention because of its horrific nature, its unforeseen hazards, and its emotional issues. Whether a crime scene cleanup, a suicide cleanup, or death by natural causes, a decomposed body will leave an extrodinary amount of fluid and tissue. A suicide by razor tends to leave copious amounts of blood, for instance.

The material left behind has its own odors and appearances. It is difficult to erxplain the awkward cleaning tasks set by an unattended death.

An unattended death's appearance is usually quite horrifying when first seen by the unsuspecting. The odors associated with a death scene strike one as nauseating. On a crime scene, odors add to the horrific appearance as the two become associated with one another.

Many people recall their first death scene whenever a loose association is made to it. A male urinating while standing may associate the urine odor with the death scene. The acrid, acidic odors of urine resemble death scene odors because urine is contained in the death scene fluids.

As a result, the violent acts that bring a crime scene into existence are accentuated by the odors. As a psycho-somatic cue for the past traumatic scene, the subject may easily recall the traumatic scene with a tightening of muscles, restricted vascular flow. This is in essence the fight-or-flight response of any animal when confronted by a threat, real or imagined.

It becomes obvious that children and others exposed to a violent crime scene may suffer emotionally later, which may be framed as Post Traumatic Stress Syndrone (PTS).

Besides homicides, suicides, and death by natural causes, any decomposition of the human body requires special consideration, special handling.

Don't wait -- call now.

Blood and Biohazard Cleanup

Our biohazard services are reasonably priced, but if you cannot afford help, consider some ideas below. Seek help elsewhere, too.

For our purposes, biohazards may be infected blood or tissue from crime scenes, suicides, and unattended deaths. Such infectious envirments must be isolated until all cleaning, disinfecting, and removal is carried out. Extreme hygienic exaggeration should be used by the novice as well as the professional.  Always clean biohazardous env000ents as if cleaning for a toddler's use.

Never remove biohazardous material without wearing gloves. "For cleaning blood or bloody fluids from floors, bed, etc., you can use household rubber gloves." Wear protection over eyes, nose, and mouth. Have a safe means of exit and a place to decontaminate yourself and clothing.

Blood as a biohazard will consist of wet or moist blood, or dried flakey (sabbing) blood. Adding chemicals to blood, something like bleach, will either destroy the blood or destroy its source of food or both. Bleach will begin to break down once in contact with blood, or any other organic matter.

Dried blood that flakes may easily become aerosolized if mishandled. Contact with airborne blood places the cleaner at risk of infectious disease. 

Before removing, moisten flaking (scabbing) blood. Cause it not to become airborne. Cover flaked blood with paper towels and lightly mosten with a disinfectant (bleach) from afar. Use a spray bottle while making wide, misting applications to the paper towels' surface. Before removing blood, ensure that it is moist enough not to flake, but not dripping.

Dry paper towels may be used to contain wet blood. Allow towels to dwell until dry. Flush in small quantities, or gently place inside two thick plastic bags. Seal tightly with duct tape. Directly dispose of in a landfill.TOP

Dripping wet blood is considered biohazardous and universally considered infectious until proven otherwise. Contain blood from afar; disinfect it. Pour blood down the sanitary sewer if you are not going to seal it for transfer.

Thoroughly wash hands.

See Blood Cleanup 1, blood cleanup 2, and blood cleanup 3.

OSHA 1910.1030(d)(1)

General. Universal precautions shall be observed to prevent contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials. Under circumstances in which differentiation between body fluid types is difficult or impossible, all body fluids shall be considered potentially infectious materials. (return)

Useful disinfectants may be found here:

Blood Spills: see index at http://www.bccdc.org/downloads/pdf/epid/reports/CDManual_

Vinegar: http://www.apple-cider-vinegar-benefits.com/vinegar-as-a-disinfectant.html

The Center for Disease Control recommends using chemicals or autoclave to decontaminate. This recommendation is made in the context of laboratory work. In the home, on the crime scene, my philosophy is not to tolerate biowaste that may be biohazardous. I destroy and/or encapsulate any offending materials. I see no point in exposing anyone to needlessly exposing anyone to pathogens.

Household bleach is a wonderful, but very corrosive disinfectant. It is a "midrange disinfectant." Bleach has a wide bacterial killing spectrum. It is inexpensive and found on most market shelves. However, bleach is extremely dangerous in the presence of acids, including urine. Open bleach bottles lose their strength; it loses strength when applied to organic material, like blood and decomposing matter. Bleach must be used cautiously, wisely.
