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.
Bio cleanup, trauma cleanup, bio hazard cleaning and biohazard remediation describe the same work. 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.

Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.
Hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli travel in raw sewage, while materials left wet may develop mold in 24 to 48 hours.
Decomposition creates bacteria, gases and fluids that enter floors, then travel along the ventilation system into nearby rooms.
