Biohazard cleaners provide emergency response 24/7 in unmarked vehicles. Cleanup technicians contain the affected areas, remove contaminated and hazardous materials, disinfect every surface and haul the biohazardous waste away. Crews serve Mead, Fairwood, Spokane and the rest of Spokane County.
Fewer older adults in Mead live alone than the Washington average, at 21%. Even so, unattended deaths happen in every community, and the cleanup steps are the same. Vacancy in Spokane County is lower than the Washington average, at 6%, so most cleanups happen in occupied homes where families want the work done privately and with care.
Protective equipment is the first thing a crew puts on and the last thing it takes off. Respirators, gloves, face protection and disposable suits keep technicians safe, and OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) is the guide for how it is used.
The finish matters as much as the cleanup. After disinfection, HEPA air scrubbers run, odor equipment works on the room, and the crew checks every surface, with ATP testing available to confirm the result.

Safe cleaning means PPE, containment, removal of porous materials, cleaning, EPA-registered disinfectant for the full contact time, and sealed disposal of the waste. A small household spill is a different matter than a death or crime scene, and anything larger than a few drops should be left to a crew.
The body is removed by a funeral home or the authorities. Cleaning the room afterwards is not their job; the family, landlord or estate hires biohazard cleaners for death cleanup, decomposition removal and odor removal.
Most biohazard clean up jobs take one to three days. A small blood spill can be finished in a few hours, while an unattended death with decomposition, a hoarder house or a meth lab can take a week or longer.
Biohazard cleaning is the safe removal of infectious or contaminated material and the disinfection of whatever it touched. Crews wear protective equipment, remove porous materials that cannot be made safe, and dispose of the waste under medical waste rules. It goes far beyond ordinary housecleaning.
