The police, fire and other rescue departments play a crucial part in handling the many tasks after a death or suicide. These crucial professionals however, do not clean up the trauma scene. Trauma-scene clean up is a niche market within the cleaning industry and many clean up steps following a trauma must adhere to strict regulations for handling decontamination and materials.
Special equipment, chemicals and materials are necessary when performing this type of clean up as it involves dangerous and most often contaminated materials that cannot be cleaned up using conventional house cleaning methods. Depending on the location of the trauma scene, different precautionary practices become applicable to ensure safety.
Some different types of Trauma Scene Clean Up can be:
• Death Clean Up (Resulting from natural death, an accident or a violet trauma such as murder)
• Suicide Clean Up
• Biohazard Clean Up (Clean up of blood and other hazardous wastes, meth labs and other chemically contaminated scenes)
Bio Clean Services offers these cleaning services and more. With our coverage area spreading throughout the northeastern United States we are able to offer 24 hour and emergency services.
Since families of crime and trauma victims typically do not leave the home after this occurs, our job is to remove any sign of what happened and any biohazard materials that may be present from the incident. These biohazard items are materials such as blood or tissues at a crime scene, bodily fluid removal and waste associated with the clean up.
It is definitely not advised for family members or friends of family to attempt cleaning these scenes. Often times with trauma and death scenes specifically, there are specific protocols that must be practiced in order to ensure the safety of yourself and others. Special permits are required for handling these materials and substances and intense training should be completed by the professional who performs the clean up. Bio Clean Services is certified to performs these and many other types of clean up. For more information about what we do preview our SERVICES. We realize in the midst of these incidents that it’s a very difficult time for families and people associated with incidents. We are professions, compassionate and willing to help you restore these scenes to before incident conditions. CONTACT US for more information on how we can be of service to you.

Blood & Trauma Cleanup Services
Blood cleanup needs come in many different forms. Bio Clean Services provides blood and biohazard cleanup from crime, death, murder, suicides and many other accident scenes. Most people assume that crime and murder and suicide scenes are typically the messiest but certain types of accidents can cause blood spread to larger areas which makes cleanup more difficult. Death and suicide with guns in most cases involve a single shot and can be confined to a specific area. While the event itself is horrifying, visibly the scene isn’t necessarily as gruesome as someone who suffers a sever machine accident or stabbing with a knife which causes blood to spray over widespread areas. These victims are usually mobile after the accident and move around increasing the spread of blood and bodily fluids. In this scenario, the scene can appear much worse than a gunshot and the required cleanup process can be much more difficult.
As with any type of trauma scene, blood & biohazard cleanup should only be handled by trained professionals who maintain the proper equipment and follow correct protocols to do a safe cleanup for you. If you attempt to handle the cleanup or hire an untrained individual to assist you, you may be liable because of improper handling or life-threatening health compromises to others.
Bio Clean Services offers emergency services and we are available to help you in every step of a biohazard cleanup. If you, or someone you know finds yourself responsible for this type of scenario, contact us immediately for proper certified biohazard cleanup.

Bio Clean Services technicians are trained to handle cleanup of bloodborne pathogens and other potentially harmful biohazards. We use personal protective equipment and follow these regulations during a cleanup process.
Anytime there is the need for handling and disposal of biohazard, medial and bloodborne pathogen waste, there are certain Federal and State regulations that must be followed. Not all biohazard cleanup companies are licensed to transport or handle these wastes so it’s essential that you understand if the company you choose is able to comply with these regulations. Cleanup companies, as well as property owners can incur hefty fines for improper cleanup, handling and disposal of biohazard wastes.
In any form of biohazard cleanup, the company you choose must be trained in the proper use of equipment and cleaning agents that will help remediate a scene to a safe environment free of any biohazards. Even simple errors like improper dilution of cleaning agents can cause certain biohazards to remain active for days to even weeks after an incident occurs.

Why Police Departments Use Crime Scene Clean Up Companies
A crime scene is an integral part of a police investigation, but what happens once the investigation is complete? Who’s responsible for the cleanup of potential biohazard dangers that are a part of any crime scene? In most cases, the property owner or a relative. Bio Clean Services provides biohazard cleanup services for crimes, trauma, death and other contaminated sites. Crime Scenes can range from breaking and entering to cases as severe as sexual assault of murder. In any ordinary crime scene biohazards that can potentially compromise the health and safety of others is usually found. Most people don’t realize that the presence of one drop of blood, when exposed to outside elements, can contain pathogens that can make you sick. If fingerprint dust is used at a crime scene, microscopic organisms can be transferred in the dust to various places throughout a scene. The dust can also carry airborne pathogens that could potentially be ingested by others who come in contact with a crime scene.
Bio Clean Services maintains the necessary equipment to remediate and removal all biohazards from a crime scene. Our technicians are experienced in the cleanup of blood, bodily fluids, tissue matter and other materials found at crime scenes. We are a certified biohazard cleaning company and are familiar with both State and Federal protocols for handling biohazards.
Police departments do not clean crime scenes. Once the investigation is over, they leave the cleanup to the property owner or responsible party. We often receive referrals from police departments clean and disinfect police cruisers, emergency transport vehicles and even jail / prison cells that may contain biohazards from inmates.
If you or someone you know has experienced a crime or trauma scene, please do not attempt to clean the scene yourself. Contact our office for assistance with your biohazard cleanup. We’ll ensure that the site is properly cleaned and returned to a safe, sanitized state expediently.

Violent Crimes and Carjacking Biohazards
![]() |
| Courtesy of Chicago News Report |
Often times with automobile crimes we find that we have to remove and replace parts of the automobile to ensure that the vehicle is completely free of all biohazard materials. This may include removal and replacement of seats, carpeting, dashes, consoles and other pieces. If as little as one or two tiny blood drops are missed during the cleanup may cause infectious pathogens that can affect the health of anyone that may come in contact with it. There is also the possibility of bad odors and the attraction of bugs and insects that are extremely difficult to remove.
Bio Clean Services also receives frequent calls to provide the same cleaning and sanitation services on police transport and other emergency vehicles. Any time these transport vehicles contain biohazards such as blood, vomit, feces, urine or other biohazards, they must be removed from service and properly cleaned and sanitized before they can be used again. Police and other emergency departments are now employing professional companies like ours to perform these cleanup services as it is too costly to maintain personnel and certifications for staff members to perform the cleanup. They have also found that there is less liability in hiring a professional cleanup company like Bio Clean Services because we are specifically trained for what we do, maintain all necessary permits and certifications and can offer the assurance that these vehicles are safe and returned to service as quick as possible.
If you or someone you know is the victim of a violent carjacking crime or you need professional biohazard cleanup services, contact our office immediately. We offer 24 hour emergency dispatch to serve our clients.

Ordinary or Biohazard Waste? What you should know
Most people recognize that there are proper procedures that must be followed in transporting and discarding of medical waste. Occasionally there are some that either choose to ignore the procedures or are simply not educated on the disposal process and don’t realize they are doing anything wrong.Bio Clean Services provides commercial and residential cleanup services for death, crime, trauma, suicide and other biohazard incidents. Almost every clean up job that we perform contains biohazard waste that much be properly contained, transported and disposed of. Regulations for biohazard protocols vary by state and can carry sever fines and penalties if not followed.
What you see in this article image is never the proper way to dispose of biohazard waste. Luckily, in this instance, these bags contain regular trash and paper from an office. You should never use biohazard waste bags as normal trash bags. Red bags marked with a biohazard emblem found like this should be reported to the local health authorities who will investigate to determine who is responsible for the improper disposal and what type of biohazards they actually are.
Biomedical waste is any liquid or solid waste that may present a threat of infection to humans. Liquid waste includes blood and other body fluids from humans. Solid waste includes clothing, towels, rags, sheets, gloves, plastic bags, or any objects soiled with blood, or other body fluids. When biohazard waste is improperly managed , it places sanitation workers and the general public at risk for contracting dangerous diseases. We take every precaution and are certified in the handling, transporting and disposal of biohazard waste. We always suggest that you never attempt to clean these types of scenes yourself as there are very high chances that these scenes contain blood and other pathogens that can be extremely harmful if you come in contact with them. Most state regulations suggest that you contact a biohazard clean up provider like Bio Clean Services to assist you.
If you see disposal like the one pictured above, or suspect that someone is illegally disposing biohazard materials, we urge you to contact your local health agency (health department) or contact our office to report it. If this type of disposal process continues, you may be placing your health and the health of others in jeopardy.

ODOR REMOVAL CONDISERATIONS FROM DEATH CLEAN UP
Bio Clean Services is frequently called to clean up after an unattended death or suicide in OH, WV, PA & MI. One of the very first questions we’re always asked is, “Can you get rid of this odor completely?” The answer is yes however, several factors will determine the amount of time and work necessary to remediate these odors and return the scene to a clean, sanitary environment.
What we’ll need to know:
1. Were did the death occur, and what elements are directly connected to the death scene? For instance, did the person die in a bed, on a carpeted floor, in a bathtub or a car? Death clean up requires decontamination of furniture, flooring, fabrics and virtually any porous surfaces related to the scene. In certain cases, it may also be necessary to remove and replace walls, ceilings, sub-flooring and possibly insulation. Weather conditions also may affect the scene depending on temperatures and other factors.
2. How long has it been since the death occurred? If the death was an accident, suicide or an elderly person and not discovered immediately, the cleanup process is more entailed as most likely decomposition has started. We would need to follow specific cleaning processes using chemicals, antimicrobial cleaners and ozone or neutralizing agents. Ozone is commonly used in death cleanup because of it’s quick reaction to carbon based molecules associated with death odors. It’s a highly useful tool but not a guarantee that it will completely get rid of the odor.
Bio Clean Services takes every measure possibly to safely and effectively remediate these scenes with as minimal disruption as possible. Our cleanup technicians are trained to provide our clients with the emotional support needed during these types of tasks. The unattended death of a friend or loved one is never something that anyone is prepared to handle. The emotions and questions that are brought on by this tragic event can make it difficult to determine what to do next.
Our goal is to offer clients the assurance that our work will completely restore the scene to a pre-incident condition and we are dedicated to the protection and safety of our clients. Hiring the proper cleanup company is difficult, after we analyze the scene, we provide a full plan of action and work directly with our clients through each step of the process. Contact us today for more information about the services we offer.
