Biohazard cleaning explained
Biohazard Cleanup in Columbus: What It Is and What It Covers
The safe disposal, removal and disinfection of bodily fluids, blood, tissue and other hazardous materials after an accident, crime, death, sewage backup or hoarding situation is biohazard cleanup.
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 Linked to Biohazards in Greater Columbus Businesses and Homes
The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
Why Household Cleaners Do Not Work
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.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli travel in raw sewage, while materials left wet may develop mold in 24 to 48 hours.
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.
