A tragedy involving death or major injury can be overwhelming for anyone of us. But it is very important to take necessary precautions without wasting another minute so as to avoid any dangers. Unfortunate events like crimes, accidents, murders, suicides involve expelling of blood and other body fluids that may carry pathogens that spread deadly diseases. Hence, it becomes imperative to get a cleanup done immediately by calling an expert biohazard cleaning company that will clean and restore the premises to an inhabitable state. If you're ever faced with a situation like this in your property, keep in mind the following points to ensure you and your loved ones are safe.

Blood/Biohazard stains should be dealt with caution

Be it big or small, all blood stains should be handled carefully due to exposure to dangerous pathogens and high risk of diseases and infection. When there's a blood splatter, some particles of the blood become airborne which could spread to a wide area beyond the actual stain. They could consist of pathogens that could put your health in danger. Hence, it is important to take right measures that safeguard you and your dear ones from health hazards.

Rely on professional clean-ups

Before you even start cleaning, you realise the blood has already seeped into your floorings, furniture, and other materials. Cleaning these is no ordinary task. It requires a biohazard expert to clean up the blood and decontaminate the area effectively. Based on the extent of damage, one might have to even part with their furniture, carpeting, etc. for safety reasons.

Keep in mind the blood could be infectious

One can never tell if the blood discharge is infectious or not, just by looking at it. Hence, your safest option is to keep away from it and get the services of a biohazard cleaning company. Even if you're familiar with the victim's health history, there's still a chance of the blood containing pathogens that you may not know of.

You need a biohazard cleaning expert, not a carpet cleaning professional

In situations described above, you need to bank on a biohazard cleaning professional, not on an expert who's offering only carpet cleaning services. Biohazard cleaners are equipped with the right solutions and machinery to clean up all the blood and body fluids and sanitise the area, keeping infections at bay. Whereas carpet cleaners use tools that may not be as effective to ensure deep and thorough cleaning.

If you're ever faced with an unfortunate event that involves blood spill and body fluids, rely on the services of a professional biohazard cleaning company. At Bio Cleanse Services, we take every aspect into consideration before commencing the cleaning process. Our cleaners work with passion and compassion to ensure we meet your expectations.

Do you need professional cleaning services?

We, Bio Cleanse Pty Ltd, provide all kinds of cleaning services, right from hoarding and meth lab cleaning to water and fire damage clean-ups and insect infestation control services. You must be wondering why you should hire us, when you can do the cleaning all by yourself.

We have answers to some of your questions.

Whenever there is a blood spill in a crime scene situation, there are fair chances of pathogens getting involved with blood and spreading infection all around. If the incident goes unnoticed, the surrounding areas get highly disease-prone. Removal of the matter does not solve the problem; for pathogens can infect the air, floor and furniture. We will ensure you that the area is thoroughly disinfected. The same would be true for mould, insect and other such infestations.

It starts with a single item and then, piles up to be a burden. Yes! We are talking about hoarding. Throwing away things which were dear to you (or someone you know), which you thought you would use in future, can be difficult. You might end up in keeping all of them. We take up this for you. We make sure that your stuff is properly disposed and also that your place is thoroughly cleaned.

Sharp objects and syringes clean-up also requires some training. You just cannot discard these objects for you might end up hurting yourself or others in your vicinity. We do sharps and syringes clean-up for hospitals and clinics. We believe in the - Your safety is our mission - adage.

Deaths of dear ones leave a void in our lives. We cannot bring ourselves around to the fact that they are gone. Cleaning up their room or house or living areas often becomes a difficult or traumatic thing to do. We understand your situation. We can help you with the cleaning.

Bio-hazard cleaning – why and what?

Mention the term bio-hazard, and we think of a risk to human health or the environment arising from biological work, especially with microorganisms. In simple words, if any living organism comes in contact with a biological hazard, it can pose a threat to its health.

We might know what a bio-hazard material is and what the causes are for it. But do you know what is involved in a bio-hazard clean-up?

If you do know (Great!), if not, then go ahead and read this blog.

When a bio-hazard clean-up takes place, the situation is completely assessed with caution and all items like carpet, furniture, wallpaper, etc. are removed and dealt with carefully. They get disposed in bio-hazard bags at a federal and state regulated site for disposal. If you think wearing a safety gear is enough to take up the task for a bio-hazard cleaning then you’re wrong, because no family member, colleague or regular cleaner are trained to deal with bio-hazardous situations. A professional however will have blood-borne pathogen (BBP) training, own protective gear, would be receiving regular inoculation of Hepatitis B vaccine and exposure evaluation.

Therefore bio-hazard cleaning is no layman task and requires well trained and equipped professionals. Bio Cleanse Services is a company dedicated to clean and remediate the affected area by following strict guidelines in the clean-up, removal and disposal of bio-hazardous/bio-medical waste.

Death Cleanup

When death occurs, the family typically doesn't move out. It’s the job of the remediation service to remove any sign of incident. This is done to avoid any infection caused by the tragic circumstances.

The federal regulations consider all bodily fluids to be biohazards. Blood or tissue at a crime scene is considered to be a potential source of infection that could harm a living organism.

Biohazardous technicians have the knowledge to safely handle biohazardous material and to know what to look for at the scene. It’s necessary to call a biohazard company to deal with a suicide clean up. They are experts in handling various types of messy situations, violent deaths, animal-hoarding sites, meth labs, etc.

When a tragedy occurs these professional bioremediation technicians come well equipped with personal protective equipment. They then assess the situation and decide what equipment to use to make the site inhabitable once again.

This protective equipment includes: 

• Personal protective gear which is non-porous, the suits are one use suits with filtered respirators and safety gloves.
• Use of biohazard waste containers to dispose of the waste materials.
• Use of disinfectants to destroy viruses and microbes.
• Using industrial-strength deodorizers to eliminate bad odour after a disaster.
• Use of solvents to kill bacteria and viruses.
• Use of chemicals to kill broad spectrum bacteria.

The process of cleaning up a scene that involved a violent death, including suicide, needs to include these resources so that the remediation of the area goes beyond purely wiping up blood.

We at Bio Cleanse Services are specialized in death and trauma cleanup. We have helped thousands of families and businesses to reinstate their property in its pre-loss condition.

We know exactly how to deal with death and trauma with compassion, care, and communication. As a result, we can help alleviate some of the grief when such tragic circumstances occur. Call us on 0412547547 to avail of our services.
