Cleaning Up Following a Crime

The aftermath of crime, car accidents, and suicides is difficult to deal with. Several businesses take care of crime scene cleanups.

For anyone who's watched crime dramas in the past few years, the scene is recognizable. Detectives show up at a crime scene. They gather evidence and theorize what has occurred. The police leave the scene. There's something missing. Doesn't anything happen after the cops leave? There's a lot of cleaning to do.

Obviously, cleaning is too boring for a TV show so it's no surprise that it isn't a part of a thirty minute episode of Law & Order. There is another reason why we don't see crime scene cleanup: the victim's family, not the cops, are responsible for this task. The thought of family cleaning up after a loved one's death is horrible. Fortunately, there exist businesses that specialize in bio hazard cleanup companies Spinnerstown PA.

Trauma is an industry that specializes in removing blood, human remains, and other materials. This is called "remediation."

Cleaning up after a crime is difficult work that requires specialized tools. Here are some of them:

• Hospitable-grade disinfectants
• No-touch cleaning supplies
• Razor blades
• Truck-mounted steam-injection machines
• Carpentry tools
• And more

The job isn't pretty, but someone has to do it while the victim's family copes with their loss.
