Biohazard cleaning explained
What Biohazard Cleanup in Chicago Means and Includes
The safe disposal, removal and disinfection of bodily fluids, blood, tissue and other hazardous materials after an accident, crime, death, sewage backup or hoarding situation is biohazard cleanup.
It is also called bio hazard cleaning, biohazard remediation, trauma cleanup or bio cleanup. Deep cleaning alone is not professional biohazard cleanup. Technicians wear personal protective equipment, track where contamination traveled, discard porous items beyond disinfection and treat all affected areas until the property returns to a livable condition.

Health and safety
Biohazard Serious Health Risks in Chicagoland Homes and Workplaces
Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
E. coli, hepatitis A and salmonella may be present in raw sewage, while damp materials may develop mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B can be present in blood. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.
Limits of Household Cleaners for Biohazards
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.
