After crimes, deaths, accidents, a sewage backup or hoarding situations, biohazard cleanup means safe removal, disinfection and disposal of tissue, blood, bodily fluids and infectious or hazardous materials.
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.

Planning for access, containment and cleanup can depend on local population, housing and entry conditions.

Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
Decomposition creates bacteria, gases and fluids that enter floors, then travel along the ventilation system into nearby rooms.
Hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B can be present in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.
E. coli, hepatitis A and salmonella may be present in raw sewage, while damp materials may develop mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Photos of the work, notes on its scope and disposal records are prepared for your landlord, insurance company or the state victim program.
