Biohazard cleaning explained
Understanding Biohazard Cleanup and Its Scope in Schenectady
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. 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.

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks Linked to Biohazards in Greater Albany Businesses and Homes
People can become seriously ill because biohazards are health hazards, and contamination often extends beyond the areas you can see.
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.
Limits of Household Cleaners for Biohazards
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.
