4. Deodorize and document
Odor sources are treated, not masked. The team photographs and records the work so insurers, landlords and families have what they need.

Biohazard Clean Up Questions From Dortches, NC Property Owners
What happens to carpet and mattresses after a biohazard event?
Soaked carpet, padding and mattresses are usually removed and sealed for disposal. Germs and odors sink deep, and disinfectant cannot reach them all. Hard surfaces can usually be cleaned and kept.
Is dried blood still a biohazard?
Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and scraping or sweeping it can put particles in the air. Leave it alone, keep people away and have a cleanup team treat it with protective gear.
Do I need to be home during the cleanup?
In many cases no. Owners, family members and property managers can set up access with the crew, and the team can work while you are away. Say so when you call if staying elsewhere is easier.
How do I choose among biohazard cleanup companies?
Ask what training the crew has, how it deals with waste, whether it works with insurers and whether it can provide references. A good company explains the process in plain words. Then decide if the company is the right fit.
Can I clean up a biohazard myself?
It is not recommended. Bloodborne pathogens can survive on surfaces, and household products often miss germs that soaked into porous materials. Professional crews use PPE, sealed containers and disinfectants that match the hazard.
What does a biohazard cleanup company do with my belongings?
Items that can be cleaned are cleaned, and keepsakes and personal property are set aside for the family. Porous items that fluids soaked into often must be removed. The crew explains each choice before disposing of anything.
