What does homicide cleaning include?
It includes blood cleanup, removal of soaked carpet, padding and drywall, disinfection, handling of debris and residue, and odor removal. Crews also sort personal property and document the work.
Who cleans up murder scenes?
Specialized homicide cleaners do. Police and investigators gather evidence and then leave. After the scene is released, the owner, family or estate can book a homicide cleanup crew to remove the hazards.

Do I need to be there during cleanup?
No. Many families set up access by phone through a key holder or manager. You can stay away, and the crew will call with questions about belongings.
Can a business or vehicle be cleaned after a homicide?
