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.

Planning for access, containment and cleanup can depend on local population, housing and entry conditions.
