Biohazard cleaning explained
Biohazard Cleanup in Seattle: Meaning and Coverage
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 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
Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Decomposition creates bacteria, gases and fluids that enter floors, then travel along the ventilation system into nearby rooms.
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.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis C and B, along with HIV, can survive in blood. The CDC reports that hepatitis B can remain on surfaces for at least seven days.
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. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.

Step by step
The Biohazard Clean Up Process in Greater Seattle, Step by Step
The biohazard cleanup process uses a safe, set sequence for every job, from your first phone conversation to the closing inspection.
Call and On-Site Biohazard Assessment
You start by describing the situation. After technicians photograph and inspect the scene, they agree on the scope with you.
Containment of the Affected Area
Technicians enclose the affected area in plastic so other parts of the property stay separated.
Removal of Contaminated Materials
After infectious materials soak into carpet, pad, drywall or similar porous items, the affected pieces are removed and sealed for medical waste, so no affected material is left behind.
Biohazard Cleaning and Disinfection
Each surface receives cleaning and an EPA-registered disinfectant made for hospital use.
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
Waste is sealed, tracked with paperwork and taken to a permitted facility for medical waste treatment.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
A final check, with ATP testing when necessary, confirms a livable condition. You then receive records and photographs for the claim.
Repairs and Back to Normal
Removed flooring or drywall can be rebuilt by your contractor or your insurer's vendor.
