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
Understanding Serious Health Risks Across Chicagoland Properties
Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Blood may contain HIV, hepatitis C and hepatitis B. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.
Limits of Household Cleaners for Biohazards
Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Salmonella, E. coli and hepatitis A are risks in raw sewage, and moisture may lead to mold on materials within 24 to 48 hours.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.

The biohazard cleanup process follows the same safe order for every job, from the first call to the final inspection.
Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment
Explain the situation. The scene is inspected and photographed by technicians before you approve the scope.
Containment of the Affected Area
Technicians enclose the affected area in plastic so other parts of the property stay separated.
Removal of Contaminated Materials
Infectious materials absorbed by carpet, padding, drywall or other porous items require those materials to be cut out, placed in sealed medical waste containers and removed so nothing is left behind.

Cleaning every surface is followed by treatment with hospital-grade, EPA-registered disinfectant.
Odor Removal and Air Quality
Treatment reaches the source of odors with hydroxyl, air scrubbers or ozone, followed by a check of the vents.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
Tracking records accompany contained waste to an authorized medical waste treatment facility.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
