Biohazard cleaning explained
Understanding Biohazard Cleanup and Its Scope in Seattle
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 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 Greater Seattle Homes and Businesses
Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.
Why Household Cleaners Do Not Work
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.
Bloodborne Pathogens
HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C can live in blood. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.
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
Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.

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
The caller describes what occurred. After technicians photograph and inspect the scene, they agree on the scope with you.
Containment of the Affected Area
To prevent contamination from moving elsewhere, the affected area is closed off using plastic sheeting.

To keep affected material from being left behind, technicians cut out carpet, pad, drywall and other porous items that absorbed infectious materials, then seal them as medical waste.
Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection
Hospital-grade disinfectant registered by the EPA is applied after all surfaces are cleaned.
Odor Removal and Air Quality
Air scrubbers, ozone or hydroxyl address odor where it begins, while vents receive inspection.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
A permitted medical waste treatment facility receives the sealed material along with its tracking documents.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
