Biohazard cleaning explained
Biohazard Cleanup in Seattle: What It Is and What It Covers
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.
Bio cleanup, trauma cleanup, bio hazard cleaning and biohazard remediation describe the same work. 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
Greater Seattle Biohazards and Their Serious Health Risks in Homes and Workplaces
Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Raw sewage carries hepatitis A, E. coli and salmonella, while wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
Why Home Cleaning Products Cannot Remove Biohazards
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.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.
