Somerton Crime Scene Cleanup: Common Questions Answered
Can a landlord or property manager hire a cleanup company?
Yes. Owners and managers often book crime scene cleanup to make a unit safe for the next tenant. Lease terms and local law decide who pays, and an attorney or tenant rights group can explain the details.
How are crime scenes cleaned?
Crews contain the affected area, remove contaminated materials and clean and disinfect what remains. They treat odor, dispose of waste as regulated medical waste and inspect the result. Protective equipment is worn throughout.
Who cleans up crime scenes?
Crime scene cleaners do, also called forensic cleaners or biohazard remediation crews. Police and first responders do not clean. After law enforcement releases the scene, you, as the property owner, family member or estate, hire a crime scene cleanup company.
What rules do crime scene cleaners follow?
The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, protects workers who handle blood and body fluids. Crews also use EPA-registered disinfectants and dispose of contaminated waste as regulated medical waste.
Is a crime scene cleaner worth hiring?
For most owners, yes. Blood and body fluids carry health risks, odor can linger for months, and mistakes can leave hidden contamination. Professionals remove the hazard and give the owner records that insurers accept.
Can I clean a crime scene myself?
It is not advised. Blood and body fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens, and fluids often soak deeper than they look. A professional crew has the gear, disinfectants and waste handling to do it safely.
