What is biohazard remediation?

​

You may know it by another name, like extreme cleanup or hazmat removal. You might hear it referred to by a more specific keyword, depending on the situation -- hoarding clean-up, crime scene cleaning, blood removal or something else. There are almost as many names for this type of cleaning as there are things to clean.

 

No matter what term you use, the important thing to remember about biohazard remediation is that it’s an important process that protects you from the threat of illness, injury and infectious diseases.

 

If you find yourself in need of biohazard removal, know that it’s something to take very seriously. When you choose a biohazard cleaner, you’re trusting that company with your health and safety.

Steri-Clean Southern Florida Provides Biohazard Remediation
for a Variety of Situations

   

The need for biohazard clean up can begin with an incident, or it can build up gradually over a period of time.

​

People call biohazard cleaners after homicides, suicides, accidents, chemical spills, unattended death, natural disasters, mass trauma and more. Or, biohazard remediation can be helpful in cases where some kind of behavior or issue has been present for years -- like hoarding or pest infestation.

 

Biohazard clean-up is more extensive, more involved and more dangerous than a regular cleaning job. It’s not simply maid service or waste removal. The people doing a biohazard cleaning have to be properly trained, and they must be very careful. The parameters of the job involve more than just decluttering and neatening things up -- biohazard cleaners also disinfect, dispose and detoxify.

   

Biohazard clean-up involves strict observation of relevant local, state and federal regulations and protocols. Cleaners must wear protective gear and observe proper on-the-job sanitation and disposal practices to ensure that everyone stays safe. Steri-Clean meets and exceeds applicable regulations and standards for preventing the spread of disease.

Attempting to Clean Blood, Bodily Fluids or Other Infectious Materials Yourself is Extremely Dangerous - Do Not Attempt the DIY Route

​

Biohazard remediation is about much more than meets the eye.

​

 

Yes, sometimes a job requires extensive scrubbing to remove stubborn stains. Sometimes treating a scene involves hauling away large, unwieldy or toxic items.

 

But one of the most important roles a biohazard cleaner performs is to remove all traces of harmful bacteria and pathogens -- even when none can be seen.  

 

Any time blood is spilled or waste leaves the body -- animal or human -- disease can spread. And those diseases can be very deadly. Some examples of particularly harmful diseases that are spread via bodily fluids are Hepatitis B and C, the H1N1 virus, Legionnaire’s or MRSA.

 

Further -- blood, feces and other potentially infectious materials (OPIM) can cause odors and stains that may be extremely difficult to remove.

 

Do not be tempted to “do it yourself” with common cleaning materials.
