Unattended Death Cleaning and Decontamination

What is an unattended death? This is an unsupervised death or suicide. Unfortunately, a common misconception regarding unattended deaths is that the police will clean up the scene once the body has been found, this responsibility in fact lies with the property owner or family member of the deceased. Depending on the circumstances of death and how long the body was there an unattended death could also be known as a biohazard clean-up due to the likelihood of bodily fluids and faeces that could carry viruses. The area will need to be decontaminated and chemicals sprayed to neutralise any odours. This is where Hygiene Pro Clean (HPC) can help.

Why is Decontamination Vital After an Unattended Death?

 

An unattended death clean-up will usually be done after the police, medical staff and the forensic team have all finished at the scene and the body has been removed. It is not only important to clean what you can physically see but decontaminate everything as blood and other bodily fluids will have likely seeped into the fabrics depending on how long the body has been there. Proper cleaning is also necessary to ensure that there are no lingering odours, to deter this we will use a range of tools and chemicals to complete effective decontamination. The HPC chemicals/reagents are a non-toxic, low corrosive, biodegradable aqueous formula with enhanced physical stability for the rapid mitigation and decontamination of chemical, biological agents and toxic, hazardous materials. Body decomposition can be extremely hazardous to those around the area therefore professionals must be brought in to handle clean-up and use the proper cleaning chemicals and tools. Decomposition will emit a horrendous smell and bodily fluids could leak out and can attract pests that will spread the toxic bacteria and increase the smell. The HPC chemicals will help to control any infection and cross-contamination, to make what could be a dangerous environment safe again for health and healing.
