Why this needs specialist cleaning
Blood and other bodily fluids can carry disease, and they rarely stay where they can be seen. They soak into carpet, underlay, mattresses, plasterboard and the gaps in flooring. A surface clean can leave contamination and odour behind, which is why affected materials are often removed rather than cleaned.
It is also not work anyone close to the situation should have to do.
What happens when you call
- We listen first, then talk through what has happened and what you need, without pressure.
- The team arrives discreetly. In metro areas, the target is to be on site within 2 hours.
- The affected areas are assessed and a scope or quote is provided within 24 hours.
- Contaminated materials and belongings that can’t be saved are removed and disposed of as biohazard waste.
- Surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, and odour is treated at the source rather than masked.
- The property is handed back, with a completion report within 24 to 48 hours.
