Biohazard cleaning explained
What Biohazard Cleanup in Somerville 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.
It is also called bio hazard cleaning, biohazard remediation, trauma cleanup or bio cleanup. 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 From Biohazards in Greater Boston Businesses and Homes
People can become seriously ill because biohazards are health hazards, and contamination often extends beyond the areas you can see.
Why Household Cleaners Do Not Work
Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Decomposition creates bacteria, gases and fluids that enter floors, then travel along the ventilation system into nearby rooms.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. The CDC reports that hepatitis B can remain on surfaces for at least seven days.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.
