Crime scene clean up is a niche market within the cleaning industry.  It involves cleaning up dangerous material. This could mean the biologically contaminated scene of a violent death (homicide, suicide or accidental) or the chemically contaminated scene of a meth lab.  Advanced Bio Treatment’s specially trained technicians come in and restore the scene by removing any source material, and disinfecting affected areas.

You need special knowledge and the ‘know how’ to safely handle bio hazardous material and to know what to look for at the scene.  For instance, if there’s a one-inch in diameter size bloodstain on the carpet, there’s a good chance that there’s a 2-foot-diameter bloodstain on the floorboards underneath it.  You can’t just clean the carpet and call it a day. The thing about crime scene cleanup is that the scene has to be truly clean, not just apparently clean.   In addition to the infection that can result from blood borne pathogens, any bodily fluids that remain in floors, carpets, baseboards or walls can lead to mold, bacteria and fungus, which can cause sickness months or years later.  In a worst case scenario the owner of the property can be held liable.

Are you familiar with MRSA? MRSA is the common acronym used to refer to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, an antibiotic resistant strain of staph infection.

This can cause a delay in diagnosis and treatment that might allow MRSA to spread in the body becoming more dangerous.

The good news is that there are medicines available to treat MRSA infections. Still, the best way to deal with MRSA is to avoid it! MRSA is spread primarily through physical contact. Anyone with a break in their skin can become infected. This includes cuts, sores, burns, and abrasions – basically any skin injury that penetrates the skin’s protective outer layers. (more…)

Studies show Bio Hazard Elimination Requires Professional Training

Monday, November 7th, 2011

Study on the effectiveness of retail disinfectants in eliminating Salmonella demonstrates that household cleaners are not strong enough to eliminate bio-hazards. More thorough bio-hazard elimination requires professional training and professional strength products. From the study, “People are more likely to contract food borne infections in domestic homes than from eating in restaurants, cafes, and bars. This is because people who work at these establishments have training on how to disinfect properly, unlike most users of domestic kitchens.
