Biohazard cleaning explained
Biohazard Cleanup in Chicago: What It Is and What It Covers
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.
Other names include biohazard remediation, bio hazard cleaning, bio cleanup and trauma cleanup. Professional biohazard cleanup goes further than deep cleaning: technicians wear personal protective equipment, find every place contamination reached, remove porous materials that cannot be disinfected and treat the affected areas until they are back to a livable condition.

Health and safety
Serious Health Risks From Biohazards in Chicagoland Businesses and Homes
The health hazards from biohazards are real. What is visible usually represents only part of the contamination.
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.
Sewage, Bacteria and Mold
Raw sewage carries E. coli, salmonella and hepatitis A, and wet materials can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours.
Why Household Cleaners Do Not Work
Although bleach and sprays may clean on top, absorbed fluids remain in drywall, subfloor, carpet and its pad. What is left behind brings odor and bacteria back, which is why decontamination services remove it.
Decomposition and Airborne Contamination
During decomposition, released bacteria, liquids and gases soak through floors and spread to other areas by way of vents.
