Homicide Cleanup is a Professional’s Job Homicide can be an unexpected, disruptive event which can take a lot of time to mentally process what has happened and what is happening. It is a challenging situation as the kith and kin of the victim have to face the emotional trauma of removing the biohazard aftermath of a homicide or murder scene. The tragedy of a homicide involves complex overwhelming emotions that are bound to translate into a post-traumatic stress disorder. In such a scenario, thoroughly cleaning a murder site is the last thing on the inmates of the site or the kin of the victim.

When the first responders (police, ambulance, investigators) depart, the family members of the victim might feel that they are obliged to clean the site themselves due to emotional or filial connections, but it need not be so. Following are some reasons as to why Homicide Cleanup is a professional’s job.


For affected families, homicide cleanup is a traumatizing and risky task to attempt alone.

A layperson cannot gauge the severity and risks of a murder scene.

The professional cleanup services follow a strict code of conduct and adhere to state guidelines for proper handling and disposal of biohazard materials.

Homicide cleanup is a micro-cleanup – the elimination of the microscopic pathogens which are invisible to the naked eye.

Homicide cleanup doesn’t only involve blood but also bodily fluids, such as faeces, urine, vomit, saliva, genital secretions and sweat. It also involves handling of sharps that were involved in the murder process.

Bio hazardous materials like bodily fluids, skin and tissue, and blood can carry a host of diseases, bacteria and viruses which can affect a person who is exposed.

The professionals will see to that the murder site is restored to a safe and inhabitable condition.

The professional cleaning services will assess any insurance coverage policies to cover the cost of the deductible and offer assistance in the claim process.

The professional cleaning services will not only sanitize the murder scene itself but also the out-of-sight nooks and crannies of the area to ensure a thorough cleanup of the home, property or vehicle.
