10 things you should know about Compulsive Hoarding

Compulsive Hoarding is a type of behavior characterized by acquiring and failing to throw out a large number of items that would appear to have little or no value to others, such as notes, flyers, or newspapers.
Here are the 10 things you need to know about Compulsive Hoarding:
  • Compulsive hoarding affects approximately 700,000 to 1.4 million people in Australia. 
  • Compulsive hoarding is often considered a form of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) because between 18 and 42 percent of people with OCD experience some compulsion to hoard. 
  • The compulsion to hoard often starts during childhood or the teen years, but doesn’t usually become severe until adulthood. 
  • Hoarding often runs in families and can frequently accompany other mental health disorders like depression, social anxiety, etc. 
  • People fall into the trap of compulsive hoarding because of reasons like: sentimental value, emotional attachment or to remember an important life event. 
  • Also for utility value - the item is, or could be, useful. 
  • And for aesthetic value - the item is considered to be attractive or beautiful. 
  • People who probably have problems organizing and maintaining possessions go through this disorder. 
  • Hoarding also increases the risk of structural damage to the building structure, a consequence of the sheer weight of the hoarded items. 
  • Compulsive hoarders rarely recognize their problem. And it isn’t something that should be taken lightly; it should be taken care of, as soon as possible.

6 ways to prevent home odours


It does not matter if it is trash, mould or pet smell. Any kind of odour can cause havoc on one’s nose and it can be nerve wracking. Here are some tips to avoid unpleasant odour.

  • Removing general odours - First thing is to find out where the odour is coming from. Then clean the area or item causing the odour with antibacterial detergent using hot soapy water. 
  • Removing smoke odours - One of the quickest ways to remove smoke odours is to open the windows and allow fresh air to circulate throughout the room. 
  • Removing refrigerator odours - Cleaning refrigerator odours can be very simple. Just go through the contents in the fridge and remove old and stinky food items. But if the refrigerator is not cleaned for months, than it’s always better to clean the entire fridge with a soft cloth. 
  • Stinky garbage disposal - Do not leave litter lying around the house. Dispose food waste properly.
  • Cleaning stinky sponges - To remove odour from a sponge, just run them through the washing machine or under running tap water. Also soaking sponge in hot water with bleaching powder helps in getting rid of the smell. Kitchen sponges should be changed often. 
  • Removing toilet odours - To eliminate toilet bowl odours, remember to clean it on a regular basis. Make sure to clean both inside and outside of the bowel. Keep air freshener inside the restroom.

Crime scene Clean up



A crime scene is a location where a crime takes place or any other place where crime evidence is found. Crime scene cleaning is a vital, yet an extremely sensitive job. These places are very sensitive and need to be dealt with a lot of caution.


Crime scenes may include a person’s body, any type of building, vehicles, places in the open air or objects found at various locations. Such cleanups usually involve the cleaning of blood and body fluids, cross contamination by police, paramedics & forensics.

Crime scenes cleanups are carried out by only professional cleaning services because the crime sites are secured by the police and other crime scene investigators. Often access is denied for any outsider in such secured areas, with the exception of family and other professional cleanup services. 

The people included in doing the cleanup wear appropriate equipment, including health and safety clothing, and so on. Hence an only professional service is advised. 

Handling biological materials is quite a tedious & risky task as there is a risk of contacting HIV or Hepatitis. It’s very important that you have someone qualified to do the job correctly and in the right way.

We at Bio-Cleanse Pty. Ltd. can clean and restore your property to perfection. We have specialist personnel for this job and we assure you 100% satisfaction.

Clean-Up of Accident sites

                                
When an injury or death occurs due to vehicle accidents, it is a hard time for the victim and others involved. Harmful material, blood, tissue, bodily fluids, urine, faeces, etc. in the vehicle and at the accident site is very common.

The transmission of contagious diseases is a serious threat when performing a clean-up. If not properly cleaned, the threat of contamination remains long after the evidence has been removed. 

Blood and other contaminants can hold diseases, bacteria, and other dangers. So under no condition should the cleanup be attempted by an individual that has not been professionally trained.

We at Bio Cleanse Pty. Ltd. have worked on all kinds of cases and even at the site of extensive accident scenes. We have all the necessary equipment, professional technicians and experience required to make any vehicle or traffic accident scene safe for the public or your family. 

Bio Cleanse Pty. Ltd. has highly trained technicians that can handle all situations. Our technicians will turn up promptly and work quickly and thoroughly to restore the affected environment to its previous state. They are skilled at tracking down and remediating areas that have been contaminated - areas that the untrained eye would not see. They will clean and decontaminate the affected areas removing the danger of exposure. 

Most of the cleaning services will only cover up the decomposition odours that ultimately return in a few hours. However, our clean-up team have the skills, expertise and all the required equipment to permanently remove an odour from rooms, carpets, furniture, or any place the odour might have gotten into. 

For services relating to any accident cleanups call 042 741 1789 or visit - www bio-cleanse.com.au.

Meth Lab Cleaning


The word Meth originates from the word Methamphetamine. Methamphetamine is a synthetic drug with more rapid and lasting effects than Amphetamine, that is used as a recreational drug and, rarely, to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and obesity. It’s also used as a stimulant for the nervous system, as an appetite suppressant and also to counter depression.

The process of making Meth can lead to contaminating, not just the structure, but the A/C, carpet, heat system, plumbing well, furniture, upholstery, septic and yard.

The production of Methamphetamine or Meth as well as its ingredients can cause severe lung and eye damage, chemical burns, tissue irritation and even death. Childhood exposure to Meth lab chemicals can result in damage to the kidneys, liver or spleen, and incur violent behavior.

Meth Lab Cleaning includes a lot of stages; like On-site inspection of property, Review of property & recovery plan, Cleaning surfaces, Heating, Ventilation and Air conditioning (HVACs), thorough cleaning of property, checking Meth percentage before & after clean-up and so on.
There is a need to understand the level of danger of Meth in your surroundings and call a professional as soon as possible and give proper details. You have to discuss your Methamphetamine contamination risks and training requirements to ensure a better living.

We at Bio Cleanse, do Meth lab cleaning, including disposal of hazardous materials. We also conduct post sampling to determine and certify that the Meth lab site is now decontaminated to a level within regulatory requirements.

We realize the fact that you cannot clean a Meth lab on your own and it’s necessary you need professional help to clean such dangerous materials. You’ll need an experienced Meth lab clean-up and decontamination professional to ensure the procedure is done in the right way.
