Steri-Clean’s experts have responded to countless car accidents, crime scenes, and other scenarios across Georgia. One of the most common (and dangerous) contaminants our cleanup experts come across is blood. Everyone bleeds, of course, but blood is dangerous because it can host deadly diseases.

 

If you come into direct contact with blood, there is a serious risk that you could contract a deadly disease, such as HIV. Various pathogens, such as hepatitis, can even survive for days or even weeks outside of the body. That’s why it’s important to thoroughly isolate, decontaminate, and sterilize any exposed blood.

 

Blood is a Biohazard

 

We take blood cleanup seriously. When cleaning blood, we always put safety first. Our cleaning experts will use OSHA compliant industry best practices to protect themselves, families,  law enforcement agents, and anyone else who might come into contact with the blood.

 

Blood is a particularly difficult contaminant to deal with. It’s sticky, can soak deep into carpet, wood, and other surfaces, and as we already mentioned, could contain diseases. If furniture has soaked up blood, we may have to cut the affected areas out. If so, we’ll dispose of the bloodied materials at a licensed biohazard disposal center.

 

Sound like a lot of work? It is. But when cleaning up blood, it’s essential to be thorough and to put safety first.

 

Steri-Clean will Provide Effective, Professional Blood Cleanup Services

 

In order to clean effectively, you need to have a process in place. Cleaning should never be haphazard or done on the fly. That’s how you make mistakes. While Seri-Clean’s experts are highly flexible and can think on their feet, they also know how to stick to basic processes that have been proven to work.

 

• First, we need to assess the site in question. During this information gather phase, we will begin devising a cleanup strategy.

• Second, blood and other biohazards need to be contained, then removed.

• Only once biohazards are removed can we begin cleaning and sterilizing the area.

• Even if everything looks perfectly clean, we have to verify that no biohazards remain using specialized sensors.

 

At Steri-Clean, we’re often able to remove all biohazards in the first pass. However, occasionally an area will require further remediation. What’s important is getting the job done right.

 

Blood Cleanup in Vehicles

 

Car crashes tend to result in spilled blood. This blood could pose a danger to emergency workers, law enforcement officers, and of course, drivers and passengers. Blood is also a common contaminant in ambulances and other emergency response vehicles.

 

Steri-Clean has provided vehicle cleaning services to private citizens, governments, and other organizations throughout Georgia. We’ll make sure that we clean every nook and cranny. In some cases, fabrics may need to be removed.

 

Crime Scene Cleanup

 

Blood is frequently found at crime scenes. While investigators need to take samples and photos, once the crime scene investigation process has concluded, it’s best to clean the
blood up.

 

We always take precautions when cleaning blood from crime scenes. We also understand this task must be handled delicately. Often, families are still reeling from the incident. We always respect our customers and their situation and understand that emotions can run high.
