After your company is "finished" cleaning this scene where a violent or unaware death has occurred, is there further cleaning needed, or is it a "clean sweep" site already?          If the property or scene (crime or not) is bloody, other fluids, or a decomposition, where certain things have been spreading in the air, on the walls, windows and in different parts of a house, room or apartment, then - those walls, floors and etcetera, we clean.  Along with anything that might be a result of the aftermath,  if possible for it to come clean inside and out, we clean it or we remove it. Those rooms and areas will not need any further cleaning service at all, they will be spotless. (Restored if needed). The balance of the site or home, that is not affected by this death, we do not clean. We will deodorize the rooms, to assure clean air, and decontaminate if needed, but certainly a whole house is not cleaned as in a "clean sweep." We do not do routine cleaning as in a janitorial service. But rather, distressed properties, heavy duty cleaning, powerful cleaning the gore and unsafe things to return these sites back to the owner / manager, in the original condition.

Is there training required if one wanted to start a "crime scene cleaning" business opportunity?  As stated on Regulations page, Yes. We have noted though, there seem to be alot of places offering that training or books, instead of Crime & Trauma Scene companies doing the WORK!
NOTE: We are holding a class in Ohio, in July 2006 - Please email for details, costs, and requirements.

If we use your service, are we going to find photos of the project on your website? No, what we do stays with us. Any photos are for record keeping and insurance only. Your privacy is protected.

I think Crime scene investigation and law enforcement is really interesting, and love watching movies about it. Is it much like that?  Well, our projects are not always pretty for sure. Most often it is a Traumatic scene, but they are not always a nightmare as well. Our work is very much needed - and satisfying as we do this knowing it is something  required to be done safely, ASAP, with care and concern. Our services also protect the family from further risk, traumatic stress and worry. Business and government offices are also protected against a very possible dangerous or life threatening situation when they hire our firm. Often the cleaning is of an emergency nature, and we handle it all - AFTER a body has been removed.

What other good web sites are there I can check out about health concerns?   There are a few we like, http://www.cdc.gov and  http://www.workplaceviolence911.com

What are Blood Borne Pathogens?   Bloodborne Pathogens” means pathogenic microorganisms that are present in human blood and can cause SERIOUS disease in humans.
