Some messes cannot be handled with a mop and household cleaner. Blood, bodily fluids and decomposition soak into porous materials and can carry disease, which is why Madrona property owners call Madrona Biohazard Cleanup Help for biohazard cleaning.
Every job follows the same order. Assess the area, contain it, remove contaminated and hazardous materials, disinfect, treat odor and dispose of the waste under the rules. Crews are available 24/7 in Madrona and throughout King County.
Renters live in about 56% of homes in Seattle, so landlords and property managers often need to get cleanup done and sort out who pays with tenants and insurers. About 53% of homes in Seattle were built before 1980, and older carpet, subfloor and wood trim absorb fluids deeply.
Blood and bodily fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens, even after they dry. That is why biohazard cleaners follow OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, and put on gloves, respirators, boot covers and disposable suits before they enter the affected area.
Odor is treated at its source, not covered up. HEPA filtration, hydroxyl generators and ozone treatment work on the air and on the surfaces, and ATP testing can show whether the cleaned area meets the standard before the property is released.
