What Fort Lauderdale Residents Ask About Biohazard Cleanup

Is dried blood still a biohazard?

Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and scraping or sweeping it can put particles in the air. Leave it alone, keep people away and have a cleanup team treat it with protective gear.

What happens to carpet and mattresses after a biohazard event?

Soaked carpet, padding and mattresses are usually removed and sealed for disposal. Germs and odors sink deep, and disinfectant cannot reach them all. Hard surfaces can usually be cleaned and kept.

Is cleaning up a biohazard dangerous without training?

It can be. Bloodborne pathogens, sharps and airborne particles pose real risks, and a mistake can spread contamination through a home. Professional crews use gear, containment and procedures built for the job.

Does biohazard cleaning remove the smell?

Yes, when the source is removed. Odors from decomposition, sewage or fluids live in porous materials and subfloors, so crews take those out and treat the air. Air fresheners only cover a smell for a short time.

What does a biohazard cleanup company do with my belongings?

Items that can be cleaned are cleaned, and keepsakes and personal property are set aside for the family. Porous items that fluids soaked into often must be removed. The crew explains each choice before disposing of anything.

Who does biohazard cleanup?

Specialized biohazard cleaners do the work, not police, firefighters or ordinary cleaning services. After law enforcement releases a scene, the owner, family or property manager hires a cleanup company. The crew takes care of removal, disinfection and waste.
