The safe disposal, removal and disinfection of bodily fluids, blood, tissue and other hazardous materials after an accident, crime, death, sewage backup or hoarding situation is biohazard cleanup.
It is also called bio hazard cleaning, biohazard remediation, trauma cleanup or bio cleanup. Professional biohazard cleanup goes beyond ordinary deep cleaning. Using personal protective equipment, technicians trace every place contamination reached, remove porous items beyond disinfection, then restore affected areas to a livable condition.

Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
Raw sewage carries hepatitis A, E. coli and salmonella, while wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Decomposition creates bacteria, gases and fluids that enter floors, then travel along the ventilation system into nearby rooms.
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.
Hepatitis C and B, along with HIV, can survive in blood. The CDC reports that hepatitis B can remain on surfaces for at least seven days.
