When a traumatic event occurs in a
property associated with a crime, it is always difficult to leave it as if
nothing had happened. Cleaning up crime scenes involves getting rid of not only
bodily fluid stains such as blood, but in many cases also other human remains
and signs of violence. That is why it is very important to have a professional
specialized in special urgent cleaning with experience in this type of
situation.
What is a crime scene?
We call a crime scene any place
where a criminal action has been carried out. It is therefore a space or
location in which the forces of order must investigate in detail all the
indications or traces that may point to the culprit of the criminal act. These
are often locations where violent deaths, rapes, or traumatic events have
occurred. Although it is important to note that as a cleaning company our work
always begins once that of the researchers has finished.
Particularities of working in crime
scene cleanup
When entering any scene where a
violent or criminal act has occurred, cleaning companies must be aware at all
times of the special nature of the situation. Since in all cases they must
respect the indications of the competent authorities and begin to carry out
their work once the analysis of the crime scene in search of evidence has been
completed. In addition to knowing how to deal with the grief that the owners of
the property and the people affected by the incident may be experiencing.
This type of situation
usually also implies the presence of biological threats due to fluids,
microorganisms or insects that may have proliferated. This is especially the
case for events in which the victim suffered from Diogenes syndrome or if it
took a long time to discover the crime.
In order to get rid of
these dangerous remains and return the scene to its original state, it is
essential to have the right tools. As well as specific knowledge about the
deodorization of spaces and disinfection with specific techniques such as ozone
cleaning.

Working cleaning crime scenes is therefore not a

traumatic cleaning in a professional way, it is necessary to meet certain

violent acts.
●

deal with family members in the event of death cleanings.
●
Have previous knowledge about the treatment of
biological remains and the necessary tools to do so.
● Be observant and
perfectionist so as not to leave any trace that could indicate what has
previously happened in the place.
Chlorine can't clean a
crime scene
Chlorine is a highly
oxidizing chemical that we all regularly use to clean at home. Although you probably
don't know him by this name; since it is an aqueous solution of chlorine that
we all have in our homes; It is about sodium hypochlorite, better known as
bleach; and as we all know it is a strong disinfectant that we use to clean
bathrooms, kitchens, etc.
Bleach, or sodium
hypochlorite, is a product widely used in standard cleaning; however, for
special or traumatic cleaning, its disinfecting power may not be enough. In
cases of particularly complex cleaning, other methods are usually used to
guarantee total disinfection of the space, eliminating all germs, bacteria,
odors and other harmful elements for people.
