Biohazard cleaning explained
Biohazard Cleanup in Memphis: Meaning and Coverage
After crimes, deaths, accidents, a sewage backup or hoarding situations, biohazard cleanup means safe removal, disinfection and disposal of tissue, blood, bodily fluids and infectious or hazardous materials.
It is also called bio hazard cleaning, biohazard remediation, trauma cleanup or bio cleanup. Professional biohazard cleanup is more involved than deep cleaning. Technicians use personal protective equipment, locate every contaminated place, remove porous material that disinfection cannot save and treat affected areas until each reaches a livable condition.

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks From Biohazards in Greater Memphis Businesses and Homes
Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
Why Home Cleaning Products Cannot Remove Biohazards
Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. Contamination left behind causes bacteria and odors to return, so decontamination services take out the source.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
