Biohazard cleaning explained
Biohazard Cleanup in Annapolis: Meaning and Coverage
Biohazard cleanup is the safe removal, disinfection and disposal of blood, bodily fluids, tissue and other infectious or hazardous materials after a death, a crime, an accident, a hoarding situation or a sewage backup.
You may also hear it called trauma cleanup, bio cleanup, biohazard remediation or bio hazard cleaning. Professional biohazard cleanup is more involved than deep cleaning. Technicians use personal protective equipment, locate every contaminated place, remove porous material that disinfection cannot save and treat affected areas until each reaches a livable condition.

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks From Biohazards in Greater Baltimore Businesses and Homes
The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
Decomposition releases fluids, bacteria and gases that soak into floors and travel through vents to other rooms.
Limits of Household Cleaners for Biohazards
Bleach and sprays treat surfaces but do not remove fluids absorbed by carpet pad, subfloor or drywall. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hepatitis C and B, along with HIV, can survive in blood. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
