Biohazard cleaning explained
What Biohazard Cleanup in North Reading Means and Includes
Biohazard cleanup is the safe removal, disinfection and disposal of blood, bodily fluids, tissue and other infectious or hazardous materials after a death, a crime, an accident, a hoarding situation or a sewage backup.
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
Greater Boston Biohazards and Their Serious Health Risks in Homes and Workplaces
Biohazards are genuine health hazards that can cause serious illness, while visible contamination is seldom the full extent of the problem.
Bloodborne Pathogens
HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C can live in blood. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Raw sewage carries hepatitis A, E. coli and salmonella, while wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Why Household Cleaners Do Not Work
Bleach and sprays clean the surface but leave fluids in carpet pad, subfloor and drywall. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.
