Erwin Crime Scene Cleanup: Common Questions Answered
Is dried blood still dangerous?
Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and scraping or wiping it can release particles. It should be handled in protective gear and disinfected, which is why crews treat old stains as seriously as fresh ones.
What is it called when you clean up crime scenes?
It goes by several names, including crime scene cleanup, crime scene cleaning, forensic cleaning, forensic clean up, trauma cleanup and biohazard remediation. The people who do it are crime scene cleaners or forensic cleaners.
Do police clean up crime scenes?
No. Police collect evidence and then release the scene. Blood, bodily fluids and fingerprint powder stay behind. You, as the owner or manager, then book crime scene cleaning with a professional team.
What rules do crime scene cleaners follow?
The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, protects workers who handle blood and body fluids. Crews also use EPA-registered disinfectants and dispose of contaminated waste as regulated medical waste.
How do they clean up crime scenes in a home?
The crew starts by finding every spot fluids reached, including under flooring and behind trim. Soaked carpet, padding and drywall are removed. Hard surfaces are disinfected, and the air and odor are treated last.
When can crime scene cleanup start?
Only after law enforcement releases the scene. Ask the investigating agency directly. Until then, stay out of the area and do not move or clean anything.
