Biohazard cleaning explained
Understanding Biohazard Cleanup and Its Scope in Chicago
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.
Bio cleanup, trauma cleanup, bio hazard cleaning and biohazard remediation describe the same work. Professional biohazard cleanup goes further than deep cleaning: technicians wear personal protective equipment, find every place contamination reached, remove porous materials that cannot be disinfected and treat the affected areas until they are back to a livable condition.

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks of Biohazards in Chicagoland Homes and Businesses
The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.
Why Household Cleaners Do Not Work
Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B can be present in blood. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
