How Crime scene clean up works

Crime scene cleanup is a term applied to specific situations involving blood, bodily fluids and other potentially infectious materials, it is also referred to as biohazard remediation because crime scenes are only a portion of the situations in which biohazard cleaning is needed. 

Some of the types of crime include:

• Suicides
• Homicides
• Decomposition or unattended death
• Mass trauma
• Industrial accidents
• Infectious disease contamination
• Animal biohazards (e.g. feces or blood)

Deaths or suicides can be a messy scene, with blood on the wall and fluids all over the place, things all scattered around, etc. Police officers are at the scene investigating the death or suicide, compiling to a chaotic situation. The place is sealed and only authorized members can enter in the marked territory. 

Weak hearted people and people who cannot bear seeing blood are advised not to go anywhere close near such crime scenes. In the earlier times, after going through a shocking event of your family member or friend getting killed or committing suicide, the family members were still forced to clean the blood and fluids and removing of the corpse. 

In the late 90’s, a whole new industry called ‘crime scene clean up’ was born; to help and give protection to the ailing families after the crime had occurred. Professionals are involved in cleaning these crime scenes; it also requires a significant amount of training and special knowledge to complete the job properly. The job is hazardous, grueling and not for the faint-of-heart. And only personnel with a trained license can carry out this job.

Cleaning a former Meth Lab

Meth labs are undoubtedly highly dangerous. Many of the meth labs that have been set up in the past leave behind many residues which can be highly dangerous to human health. 

So, first of all you need to find out whether your house, building or property was a meth lab previously. How do we find out? Here are some of the sicknesses that people living in a former meth lab suffer from:

• Shortness of breath 
• Liver or kidney damage 
• Dizziness or headache 
• Burns to eye, nose and mouth. 

Once any of the above signs are noticed in any person living in the property, a proper professional should be instantly hired to inspect the property.

After the necessary inspection is done and details are noted down, a report is generated. This report is very important for cleaners to know what the exact situation of the place is.

A certain procedure is followed to clean the affected property. To begin with, an on-site inspection of site is done, followed by checking the meth lab percentage before and after clean-up, contamination and removal and disposal, cleaning of plumbing systems, cleaning of HVAC’s, review of property and recovery report.

Cleaning up a House in Brisbane

We were called out to this place in Brisbane for a hoarding cleanup. This one was particularly interesting, inside and out. The owner had apparently been living in this filth for years and had collected mounds of bottles, boxes, dishes and the worse is the cats and dogs. The cats were running loose all over the house, no litter boxes anywhere so they urinated and dropped faeces all over the place.

Cat urine has a very strong odour and is very hard to eliminate with routine cleaning. If there is carpet, as was the case here, it has to be pulled up because the urine seeps through to the padding and saturates it. The smell spreads to every room; the cats shed their hair everywhere. It’s just gross and smelly!

The man who lived here had apparently died of a heart attack recently and his kids inherited the property. They must not have been to visit him in a long time or they just had no clue how he was living. I’m amazed he could even breathe in here that’s how bad it was.

We, the professionals at Bio Cleanse Pty. Ltd., use methods that are very strong that won’t just mask the odour, but totally remove it. We threw out all garbage to dumpsters we had kept outside. The dogs and cats have been shifted to some animal care centre. They had dog houses here, so it wasn’t as bad as it should be.

The guy even had a collection of junk in the garage and yard. He had old cars, bicycles, tires, and so on. Who knows, some of it might have some value if you could get past the dirt and the smell.

We get calls like this quite frequently. Hoarders have a different mentality than most people. They find comfort in collecting what other people see as garbage. Some of them seem to be immune to the trash and smell. It’s hard to understand, but it’s more of a problem than most realize.

Decontamination cleaning

Bio-hazard covers a variety of events that pose a risk to human health. For instance, substances like bodily fluids, blood and faeces can carry viruses like HIV, hepatitis B & hepatitis C. Safe decontamination cleaning of affected areas, which have been soiled by a bio-hazardous incident, are necessary in order to reduce and eradicate the risk of infection from exposure.

If left unattended, bodily fluids such as blood, urine and vomit, percolate into areas that are not visible to the untrained eye, making the risk of exposure to infection a lot greater.

It is vital that the right procedures are followed during decontamination clean-up process and that the appropriate personal protective equipment is worn by anyone entering the contaminated place (including staff). With the use of advanced equipment, the area is thoroughly decontaminated, ensuring the potentially unsafe area is left infection/disease/virus free. 

There is nothing more important than your family’s wellbeing. Hence, it’s always best to get a team of professionals who understands the sensitivity & risks involved in the decontamination cleaning process.

What precautions should be taken when dealing with needle sticks?

Okay to start with, what are needle/syringe injuries? Needle or syringe injuries are wounds caused by needles that accidentally pierce the skin. Injection of blood-borne viruses is the major hazard of needle stick injuries. Viruses like AIDS (HIV), Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C are some of the diseases spread due to unattended or disposed needles and sharp objects. The term “sharp” means objects or devices with sharp points, or cutting edges that are capable of cutting or piercing the skin.

So what precautions need to be taken when dealing with needle sticks and sharp objects? First of all, don’t place your hands into areas or objects you cannot see clearly because the sharp objects may be concealed in such places. Some of the examples of such places are over grown gardens, old beds and mattresses, rubbish bins, etc. Precautions like wearing gloves or using a pair of tongs should be taken when removing such sharp objects.

Do not manually compress rubbish bags in case they contain needles, syringes or any other sharp and dangerous objects. Use any compressing mechanism to compress such stuff or use any other object to help you with it (ex: a stick). 

Always categorize your domestic and industrial waste into 3 parts: Dry waste, wet waste and chemical waste. Things like sharp objects of needles and syringes which are dangerous to human health fall in the third category i.e. chemical waste. And this chemical waste shouldn’t be touched or dealt with bare hands; it should be disposed with utmost care or preferably, call a professional cleaning service to handle it in a safe and a professional manner. 

When any such dangerous objects are found in the open, it should be kept away from children. Never handle more than one item at a time while cleaning such objects; it might prick you and cause you harm. Finally, never play with sharp needles and syringes, trying to flick them or spin them for fun. It may be a contagious needle.
