Best Practices for Cleaning a Blood Crime Scene
Disposing of a dead body can be traumatic for those involved in cleaning it up. Despite the size, age, and other factors of the person who passed away, clean up requires the same standard procedures. We know you care about your family and friends and we respect that.
When you're cleaning up a blood crime scene, the most important thing you can do is stay calm and don't panic. This is a good time to call in professional help if you need it. The professionals at Trauma Scene Biohazard Cleaners will be able to clean up all traces of blood and get your property back to normal quickly and efficiently.
You should never handle blood yourself, even if it's dried on your property or in your home. Bloodborne pathogens can live in dried blood for several days, so it's important that only trained professionals handle any cleanup work. We have been trained by the EPA, OSHA, and OSHA-approved instructors to perform crime scene cleanup safely and effectively.
5 Things You Didn't Know About Crime Scene Cleaners
Crime scene cleanup is a niche industry that specializes in the professional cleaning of crime scenes, suicides, and unattended deaths. In addition to blood cleanup, we also provide services for other biohazards such as feces, urine, menses (period), saliva, and vomit.
Crime scene cleaners are trained in bloodborne pathogen decontamination and are certified by the Biohazardous Waste Management Association (BBWMA). We provide our own equipment including personal protective equipment (PPE) and EPA-registered disinfectant solutions specifically designed to clean up biohazardous waste.
Our technicians are experienced at working with law enforcement officials at the scene of an investigation, who provide guidance on the best way to approach the cleanup process. They also understand that it can be difficult for family members to remain at home during this time so they try to make it as easy as possible on them by keeping them informed throughout the process.
Crime scene cleaners have been trained to handle biohazardous materials safely, but they cannot remove hazardous chemicals such as asbestos or lead paint without special training and equipment.
Crime scene cleaners often provide other services such as fire damage restoration and industrial cleaning services, depending on the size of their business and location of their office.
If you find a crime scene, and you don't know what to do, don't worry. Trauma Scene Biohazard Cleaners are here for you!
We know that when it comes to finding a crime scene, your first instinct is probably not to call us. We get that. It can be scary to think about what happened there and why it happened.

And most importantly? You could be putting yourself in danger if you try to clean up a crime scene yourself.
So let us take care of it for you! We have been cleaning up crime scenes over the years, that means we've seen pretty much everything. And we've learned a thing or two over the years about how best to approach each situation with professionalism, discretion, and compassion.
How To Perform a Crime Scene Cleanup?
When it comes to crime scene cleanup, there's no room for error. That's why you need to make sure that you're hiring a company who knows what they're doing. Here are some tips on how to choose the right crime scene cleanup service for your needs:
Check their reputation online. A reputable company will have plenty of positive reviews and testimonials from clients. They should also have an active social media presence, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn accounts.
Ask about their certifications and licenses. Many states require crime scene cleaners to be licensed or certified by local authorities before they can perform their services legally within those jurisdictions. Be sure that any company you hire is properly licensed so they can legally perform their work in your area without being penalized later down the line if something goes wrong during the cleanup process.
Ask about their experience level with various types of crime scenes (including homicides, suicides, unattended deaths) as well as other biohazard situations such as meth labs or hazmat spills). The more experience they have working with these types of situations successfully over time without any major issues occurring then chances are good that they'll be able to do.
