Biohazard cleaning explained
Biohazard Cleanup in Chicago: What It Is and What It Covers
Biohazard cleanup is the safe removal, disinfection and disposal of blood, bodily fluids, tissue and other infectious or hazardous materials after a death, a crime, an accident, a hoarding situation or a sewage backup.
It is also called bio hazard cleaning, biohazard remediation, trauma cleanup or bio cleanup. Professional biohazard cleanup goes beyond ordinary deep cleaning. Using personal protective equipment, technicians trace every place contamination reached, remove porous items beyond disinfection, then restore affected areas to a livable condition.

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks From Biohazards in Chicagoland Businesses and Homes
Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
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.
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.
Why Regular Household Cleaners Are Not Enough
Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.
