5. Disinfections and Sanitization: Once the visible blood or contaminant is removed, the affected area is thoroughly disinfected and sanitized. Industrial strength cleaning agents are used to eliminate the remaining pathogens and to mitigate the risk of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. Disinfection is important in a biohazard situation because potentially infectious materials may be present.
6. Odor Removal: In cases where blood or the contaminant has penetrated porous materials such as carpets, upholstery or drywall, additional steps may be taken to address any lingering odors. This may involve specialized techniques such as ozone treatment or thermal fogging to neutralize and eliminate unpleasant smells.
7. Proper Removal: All biohazardous materials, including soaked materials and cleaning supplies, should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations and industry best practices. This requires the packaging of affected materials into specially designed biohazard boxes or bags. While this ensures that contaminated materials do not pose a risk to public health or the environment, the improper disposal of contaminated materials can lead to significant penalties and fines for technicians and companies that fail to follow defined disposal regulations. Typically, any porous material affected by a hazardous material will need to be disposed, including things like carpet, clothing, mattresses, furniture, and more.
8. Verification and Certification: After the blood or biohazard cleanup process is complete, a thorough inspection is conducted to ensure that the affected areas meet the required standards of cleanliness and safety. Many professional cleanup companies also provide certification or documentation of the cleanup, which may be necessary for insurance purposes or legal proceedings.
9. Communication: This should be done throughout the cleaning process, from the time your skilled technician arrives until the job is complete. You should understand the scope of the loss, anticipated steps for cleaning, the timeline, notification of any issues or changes, confirmation that the job is complete and information on the timing of the final inspection.
No one ever expects tragedy, unless it’s in a sequel to a horror movie franchise. When the murder, mayhem or the unimaginable does happen, it’s good to know that when Saturday the 14th rolls around you have professionals you can count on to make it like it never even happened!
