Crime Scene Cleaning
Importantly, crime scene cleaning is not the removal of dead bodies, and cleaning companies play no role in this. It is also crucial for individuals immediately involved in a crime scene or trauma incident not to touch the afflicted region. Crime scene cleaners utilise PPE and specific chemicals to disinfect and neutralise pathogens transmitted by body fluids, such as viruses and infectious diseases like hepatitis and HIV.
To reiterate, crime scene cleaners only operate on crime scenes once the investigation has concluded. Anyone reporting a crime scene should contact the police directly.

After an incident, crime scene cleaners, also known as forensic cleaners or bioremediation professionals, are responsible for sanitising and decontaminating the site. The cleaning procedure should begin as soon as feasible to reduce the danger of cross-contamination, maintain company operations, and reduce the emotional pain of family members.

Before the cleaning procedure may begin, a member of the police force must submit confirmation in writing.
