The Processes Involved in a Suicide Cleanup

This is just a sample and general outline of what Californiacleanit experiences as the steps that may be involved in suicide cleanup.  No situation or circumstance we encounter is the same.  The level of services a customer may want could involve just the removal of blood-soaked furniture, In some cases involving a gunshot wound the blood trajectory could involve spreading biohazards to multiple rooms as well.  The important thing to note is that we will go over everything that we can do to help you if you hire our company or contractors for a suicide cleanup and we come to do the evaluation.  All of our estimates for biohazard cleanup can be done on-site when we come to your home.  In some cases, we can do a remote estimate by having photos sent to us.  When you contact our staff when you select your location, our supervisors in charge of your community can explain everything in detail to you. 

1. Assessment and Planning:
   • The trauma cleanup technicians as part of the Californiacleanit network will assess the scene to determine the extent of the contamination and plan the cleanup process accordingly.
   • They identify biohazards, areas of concern, and any potential risks that need to be addressed during the cleanup.
2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
   • Cleanup technicians wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize the risk of exposure to biohazards.
   • This typically includes gloves, masks, goggles, coveralls, and sometimes respirators, depending on the situation.
3. Containment:
   • The area is cordoned off and contained to prevent cross-contamination and maintain the safety and privacy of the surrounding environment.
   • Plastic sheeting and barriers may be used to isolate the affected area and establish a controlled work zone.
4. Biohazard Removal:
   • Any biohazardous materials, such as blood, bodily fluids, or tissue, are safely and thoroughly removed from the scene.
   • Cleanup technicians use specialized tools and techniques to minimize the risk of exposure and properly contain the materials for disposal.
5. Cleaning and Disinfection:
   • The affected area is meticulously cleaned and disinfected using professional-grade cleaning agents and disinfectants.
   • All surfaces, objects, and materials in the vicinity are thoroughly cleaned to ensure the removal of potential pathogens and contaminants.
   • Cleanup technicians follow specific protocols to ensure proper disinfection and reduce the risk of infection.
6. Odor Neutralization:
   • In cases where strong odors are present, odor-neutralization techniques may be applied to eliminate or mitigate the smell.
   • This may involve the use of specialized deodorizing agents, air purifiers, or other odor-neutralizing methods.
7. Proper Waste Management:
   • Biohazardous waste is carefully packaged, labeled, and disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
   • Cleanup technicians follow specific protocols for the proper handling, transportation, and disposal of biohazardous materials.
8. Restoration:
   • Once the cleanup and decontamination are complete, the affected area is restored to its pre-incident condition (this is subject to the determinations in your agreement and insurance coverage) or as much as possible.
   • This may involve repairing or replacing damaged structures, surfaces, or materials; which may require additional restoration and carpentry services or outside contractors.
