Biohazard cleaning explained
What Biohazard Cleanup in Dundalk Means and Includes
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.
You may also hear it called trauma cleanup, bio cleanup, biohazard remediation or bio hazard cleaning. Deep cleaning alone is not professional biohazard cleanup. Technicians wear personal protective equipment, track where contamination traveled, discard porous items beyond disinfection and treat all affected areas until the property returns to a livable condition.

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks Linked to Biohazards in Greater Baltimore Businesses and Homes
People can become seriously ill because biohazards are health hazards, and contamination often extends beyond the areas you can see.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis C and B, along with HIV, can survive in blood. The CDC says hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days.
Why Household Cleaners Do Not Work
Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. Odor and bacteria recur when material is left behind, which makes its removal part of decontamination services.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
