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.

Monday, November 7th, 2011Suicide Cleanup Requires Sensitivity and Compassion
Thursday, March 10th, 2011The suicide clean up crew arrived in John’s Creek less than two hours after the tragic incident. The local police recommended to the family’s close friend who was acting as a liaison to the authorities that a suicide clean up company could restore the room in which he killed himself into looking like it did previously. The suicide clean up company’s employees possessing expertise in sanitizing affected areas would not only remove hazardous, organic material but also take additional remediation efforts to ensure no toxins migrated to any other locations within the residence.
As they also performed murder scene cleanings, unattended death scene cleanings, homicide scene cleanings, blood scene cleanings, staph infection cleanings, mrsa infection cleanings, meth lab cleanings and bio hazard cleanings, the suicide cleanup company was accustomed to working with law enforcement and health authorities. The employees of the suicide clean up company were able to respond quickly and quietly.
The suicide cleanup company’s experience in this regard also gave them the sensitivity to deal with the loved ones of the deceased and act with the appropriate concern for the affected residence’s occupants. When all was said and done, the suicide clean up company had done its job so well that the family barely noticed their presence and certainly never had to worry about any medical consequences that could have arisen had the suicide clean up either not taken place or not done properly.

Professional Death Odor Removal Services
Friday, November 26th, 2010Within minutes –or even seconds – after a person passes away, their corpse commences the natural progression of what many have referred to as rigor mortis. The symptoms of this progressive condition include not only the sudden coldness of the corpse’s skin but also the decomposition of many bodily tissues and the reflexive expulsion of bodily fluids at or after expiration. These decomposing tissues and foul fluids can generate noxious odors in the environment and leave a pungent, foul smell that has the propensity to linger in carpet fibers and drapes, boards and grout that contain a room and can travel through certain ventilation systems. For landowners, landlords, business owners or elderly care facility operators, the negative health and aesthetics consequences associated with the failure to remove a corpse soon after death necessitates the timely retention of a death odor removal company or a homicide scene clean up company.
The death odor removal company will evaluate the premises determining what needs to be treated, replaced or removed to eliminate the uncomfortable odor. For a more complicated situation where a homicide or suicide has occurred, a homicide clean up or suicide clean up.

Crime Scene Clean up Liability Issues
Sunday, November 14th, 2010City and county leaders must be very careful with respect to how they instruct their governments’ personnel to respond to accidents and crimes. When it comes to crime scenes or accident scenes, they need to be familiar with their state law regarding liability for failure to clean up such sites so there is no physical hazards remaining that could harm the public.
In some states counties could be held liable for negligent cleanup of an accident or crime site. In some both counties and cities could be held liable and in others only cities could be held liable. The pertinent inquiry involves the question of whether the state has a constitutional provision which immunizes cities and/or counties from such liability. There is also a question as to whether the immunity is absolute or qualified. Another way of looking at it is whether the immunity is total or partial.
From a public health standpoint it is always best to bring in a professional crime scene cleaning company, accident scene cleaning company, homicide scene cleaning company, suicide scene cleaning company, odor removing company or meth lab scene cleaning company. From a legal standpoint, the question revolves around the issues of available immunity and the nature of that immunity for particular jurisdictions. If the immunity that is available to a county or city is not absolute, the city or county should bring in such accident scene cleaner companies, death scene cleaner companies, homicide scene cleaner companies, crime scene cleaner companies, suicide scene cleaner companies, blood scene cleaner companies, odor cleaner companies or bio hazard cleaner companies when the occasion arises for their services.
