Cleanup begins only after law enforcement releases the scene. A crime scene cleaning team then removes blood, bodily fluids and contaminated materials, disinfects the affected area and treats odor. Family members should not clean it themselves.
Blood cleanup is handled discreetly. Ask when you call about unmarked vehicles and quiet work. Cleaners are there for the property owner, not to draw attention.
Surface stains may lift, but blood that soaked through carpet and padding can sit in the subfloor and keep carrying germs and odor. In that case the soaked carpet and padding are cut out and disposed of as waste.
Use disposable gloves, eye protection, disposable absorbent towels and a disinfectant that is EPA-registered for bloodborne pathogens. Follow the label for how long the surface must stay wet. Bag the used materials and keep them away from other people.
A small spill on a hard surface can be cleaned with gloves, eye protection and an EPA-registered disinfectant. Do not do it if you have an open cut, or if blood has soaked into carpet, wood or grout. When in doubt, call a blood cleanup company.
Odor usually fades once all the source material is gone. If blood soaked into porous materials, those materials are removed and the area is treated. Strong smells can mean contamination remains beneath the surface.
