Our blood cleanup services are performed by trained professionals who understand the dangers of bloodborne and airborne pathogens. Because blood has the potential to infect those who come in contact with it, we always wear personal protective equipment and always use “universal precautions” when at the scene of a traumatic injury. This means that we treat all blood and potentially infectious body fluids as if they are known to contain bloodborne pathogens, or diseases, even though they might not.

      Blood, in liquid, solid or aerosol form can endanger anyone who comes in contact with it. Blood can be transferred to people by injection, inhalation, ingestion or absorption. Blood can transfer to another via skin or eye contact, such as a splash when scrubbing or cleaning. Cleaning up a blood spill or other body fluids can be scary, gory and traumatic to someone who is not used to seeing it.

    We use special virucidal disinfectants, enzymes, methods and equipment when sanitizing a crime scene, death scene or traumatic injury scene. The most important factor is ensuring that you remain safe from any diseases and that cross contamination does not occur. Cross contamination is when blood is carried from one object to another, one object to a person or from person to person. This can be done quite easily as when someone walks through a contaminated site and the bottom of their shoes transfer blood or body fluids to another area of the home or business.

    Cleaning up blood also involves detecting blood that you cannot see. Like any other liquid, blood often falls in cracks and wall / floor seams and if not cleaned thoroughly, the area will attract ants or other animals and the area will start or continue to smell.
