A biohazard is any biological material that can make people sick, and biohazard cleanup is the work of making the affected area safe again. It goes well beyond mopping, because germs can soak into porous materials.

- Blood and bodily fluid cleanup on floors, walls, ceilings, furniture and fixtures

New Carrollton Biohazard Cleaning Questions, Answered
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.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Keep people and pets away from the area, and do not touch or wipe anything. Open an exterior window only if it is safe, and photograph what you can for insurance from a distance. Call 911 first if anyone is in danger.
How long does biohazard cleanup take?
A small spill on a hard floor can take a few hours. Larger scenes, soaked carpet and subfloor, or heavy odor take longer. The crew can give a better timeline after seeing the site.
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.
What are the OSHA guidelines for biohazard cleanup?
The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, protects workers who may contact blood or other infectious material. Professional crews follow its rules on PPE, handling and waste. Employers have their own duties, and safety staff can explain them.
What if the cleanup follows a suicide or violent crime?
The crew treats the scene with care and keeps details private. Law enforcement must release the property before cleanup begins. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 any time.
