What is Forensic Cleaning?

Forensic cleaning is the thorough decontamination of areas exposed to biological hazards such as blood, bodily fluids, or other infectious materials. These substances can carry pathogens that pose significant health risks, necessitating a level of cleaning that goes beyond standard janitorial services. Forensic cleaning requires specialized training, equipment, and expertise to safely remove, disinfect, and dispose of biohazardous materials.

What Does Forensic Cleaning Entail?

1. Assessment and Planning: The first step in forensic cleaning involves a comprehensive assessment of the affected area. This includes identifying the extent of contamination, the types of biohazardous materials present, and any structural damage that may need attention.

2. Containment and Control: To prevent cross-contamination, the affected area is contained. This might involve sealing off the area, using negative air pressure, and employing personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure safety.

3. Removal of Contaminants: All biohazardous materials, including blood, tissue, and other bodily fluids, are carefully removed. This process may involve cutting away affected areas such as carpets, flooring, or wall sections.

4. Disinfection and Deodorisation: Once contaminants are removed, the area is thoroughly disinfected using hospital-grade cleaners. Deodorisation is also crucial to eliminate any lingering odours, ensuring the area is completely sanitised.

5. Restoration: Finally, any structural damage is repaired, and the area is restored to its pre-incident state, ready for use.
