Biohazard cleaning explained
Biohazard Cleanup in Chicago: What It Is and What It Covers
Biohazard cleanup safely removes and disinfects blood, tissue, bodily fluids and hazardous materials, then disposes of them following crime, death, accidents, hoarding or a sewage backup.
You may also hear it called trauma cleanup, bio cleanup, biohazard remediation or bio hazard cleaning. Professional biohazard cleanup is more involved than deep cleaning. Technicians use personal protective equipment, locate every contaminated place, remove porous material that disinfection cannot save and treat affected areas until each reaches a livable condition.

Health and safety
Biohazard Serious Health Risks in Chicagoland Homes and Workplaces
People can become seriously ill because biohazards are health hazards, and contamination often extends beyond the areas you can see.
Bloodborne Pathogens
HIV and hepatitis B and C may remain in blood. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
Why Home Cleaning Products Cannot Remove Biohazards
Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
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.
