About
What is Biohazard Cleanup?
Biohazard cleanup is a specialized process that removes, sanitizes, and properly disposes of materials contaminated by blood, bodily fluids, pathogens, or hazardous substances. This type of work extends far beyond routine cleaning, as biohazards pose significant health risks and necessitate strict regulatory compliance, controlled handling, and advanced decontamination methods.
The process involves identifying all affected areas, preventing cross-contamination, safely collecting and containing regulated waste, and using professional disinfectants designed to eliminate harmful microorganisms. Technicians trained in OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards and EPA-approved practices follow defined procedures to ensure that every surface, object, and zone within the impacted space meets rigorous safety expectations. For additional insight, review “what is biohazard remediation.”

Why Professional Biohazard Removal Matters
Biohazard removal safeguards individuals from exposure to hazardous pathogens, toxic substances, and contaminants that can remain active for extended periods after an incident occurs. Harmful microorganisms found in blood, bodily fluids, and hazardous materials can spread quickly, penetrate porous surfaces, and create hidden risks that standard cleaning methods cannot eliminate. Specialized remediation ensures that every affected area is treated with the level of precision required to prevent health complications and structural damage.
Certified technicians follow established OSHA and EPA guidelines to handle, isolate, and safely remove biohazardous waste. Their training enables them to recognize contamination patterns, apply advanced disinfectants, and use proven containment strategies that stop hazards from migrating into clean areas. This approach protects occupants, property owners, and anyone entering the environment after the incident has occurred.
Professional biohazard removal reduces liability, supports compliance with state and federal regulations, and safeguards the long-term safety of a home, business, or facility. Thorough remediation provides families, organizations, and public agencies with confidence that the environment has been restored to a safe and stable condition.
steps
Our Biohazard Cleanup Process (step-by-step)
Assessment
While in full PPE ( personal protective equipment) a trained Steri-Clean technician conducts a thorough walkthrough to identify all impacted areas, document hazards, and determine the scope of contamination. This evaluation guides the complete remediation plan and ensures that every hazard is addressed systematically.
Containment and Safety Controls
After the assessment, and depending on the type of contamination, the team often secures the area to prevent cross-contamination. Barriers, protective measures, and specialized airflow controls help isolate the environment, preventing pathogens like bacteria and viruses, bloodborne risks, and hazardous materials from spreading.
Removal of contaminated materials
Any item or surface contaminated with blood, bodily fluids, or other hazardous substances is carefully removed and packaged in accordance with OSHA and EPA requirements, including approved biohazard waste disposal protocols. This includes porous materials, debris, and objects that cannot be restored through cleaning and the application of EPA-registered
Cleaning, disinfecting, and deodorization
Once contaminated materials are removed, the team applies the proper disinfectants to all surfaces using medical-grade products designed to neutralize harmful microorganisms. Deodorization procedures eliminate lingering odors, ensuring the space feels clean and stable once remediation is complete.
Verification and clearance testing
The final step includes ATP testing, a rapid and reliable method for verifying the cleanliness of surfaces, or equivalent validation methods to confirm that contamination has been fully addressed. This verification assures that the environment meets “safe to occupy” standards before it is returned to the property owner or agency in charge. Once the testing is complete and confirmed, we will provide a Safter To Occupy Certification.
Situations That require Biohazard Cleanup
Trauma and Accident Scenes
Unexpected injuries, medical emergencies, and traumatic events often leave behind biohazardous materials that require controlled removal and disposal. Technicians address contamination on floors, furnishings, and structural surfaces to protect anyone entering the space afterward.
Industrial and Workplace Incidents
Manufacturing facilities, warehouses, and commercial sites can experience chemical exposure, machinery accidents, or hazardous spills. Professional biohazard removal ensures compliance with OSHA standards, keeping operations aligned with workplace safety requirements.
Unattended Death
When a passing goes unnoticed, decomposition introduces strong odors, harmful pathogens, and structural contamination. Proper cleaning of fluids from a decomposed body entails following the fluids wherever gravity has taken them and either cleaning or removing the affected materials.
Infectious Disease and Pathogen Outbreaks
Viruses, bacteria, and other harmful organisms can spread quickly within homes, offices, schools, businesses, automobiles, or healthcare settings. EPA-approved disinfectants with appropriate kill claims, along with proper containment procedures.
Hoarding and Unsanitary Living Conditions
Severe clutter, hoarding, waste accumulation, and long-term neglect can lead to biohazardous environments, characterized by pests, contaminated materials, and structural damage. Cleanup teams remove trash and functional living conditions.
Sewage, Waste, and Environmental Contamination
Sewage backups, waste leaks, and compromised plumbing systems introduce harmful microorganisms and contaminants. Certified specialists extract affected materials, sanitize the area, and prevent hazardous exposure.
