Biohazard cleaning explained
Biohazard Cleanup in Memphis: Meaning and Coverage
Biohazard cleanup safely removes and disinfects blood, tissue, bodily fluids and hazardous materials, then disposes of them following crime, death, accidents, hoarding or a sewage backup.
You may also hear it called trauma cleanup, bio cleanup, biohazard remediation or bio hazard cleaning. Deep cleaning alone is not professional biohazard cleanup. Technicians wear personal protective equipment, track where contamination traveled, discard porous items beyond disinfection and treat all affected areas until the property returns to a livable condition.

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks of Biohazards in Greater Memphis Homes and Businesses
People can become seriously ill because biohazards are health hazards, and contamination often extends beyond the areas you can see.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis C and B, along with HIV, can survive in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Fluids, gases and bacteria from decomposition can penetrate flooring and move into other rooms through ventilation.
Why Regular Household Cleaners Are Not Enough
Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.
