Biohazard cleaning explained
Understanding Biohazard Cleanup and Its Scope in Vashon
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
Serious Health Risks From Biohazards in Greater Seattle Businesses and Homes
The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis C and B, along with HIV, can survive in blood. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
Why Household Cleaners Do Not Work
Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli travel in raw sewage, while materials left wet may develop mold in 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.

Step by step
How Biohazard Clean Up Works in Greater Seattle, Step by Step
From the initial call through the last inspection, the biohazard cleanup process follows a consistent order designed for safety.
Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment
You start by describing the situation. Technicians inspect the scene, photograph it and agree the scope with you.
Containment of the Affected Area
Plastic sheeting isolates the affected area and stops contaminants from reaching additional rooms.
Removal of Contaminated Materials
Porous materials that absorbed infectious materials, such as carpet, pad and drywall, are cut out and sealed as medical waste so nothing is left behind.
Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection
Every surface is cleaned and treated with EPA-registered, hospital-grade 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
A permitted medical waste treatment facility receives the sealed material along with its tracking documents.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
Where needed, ATP testing helps check that the space has returned to a livable condition. You also get photographs and documentation for your claim.
Repairs and Back to Normal
A contractor you choose, or one used by your insurance company, can restore flooring and drywall that were removed.
