New Mexico Blood Cleanup
We provide blood cleanup service twenty-four hours, seven days a week.
We clean after homicides, suicides, or unattended deaths. At times, blood releases from the human body will include other potenially infectious materials (OPIM).
Our professional cleaners will take your telephone call and answer your questions. If you like, speak with Eddie Evans about your cleaning needs. He will tell you what to expect and what you should expect from a biohazard cleaning company. Eddie will also clean for you. Eddie accepts cash, credit cards, and homeowner's insurance.
In general, decomposition should be handled professionally.
An unattended death demands professional attention because of its horrific nature, its unforeseen hazards, and its emotional risks. Whether a crime scene cleanup, a suicide cleanup, or death by natural causes, a decomposed body will leave an extrodinary amount of fluid and tissue.
The material left behind has its own odors and appearances. It is difficult to erxplain the owkard cleaning tasks set by an unattended death.
An unattended death's appearance is usually quite horrifying when first seen by the unsuspecting. The odors associated with a death scene strike one as nauseating. On a crime scene, odors add to the horrific appearance. The violent acts that brought the scene into existence are accentuated by the odors. Besides homicides, suicides, and death by natural causes, any decomposition of the human body requires special consideration, special handling.

For our purposes, biohazards may be infected blood or tissue from crime scenes, suicides, and unattended deaths. Such infectious envirments must be isolated until all cleaning, disinfecting, and removal is carried out. Extreme hygienic exaggeration should be used by the novice as well as the professional. Always clean biohazardous evenents as if cleaning for a toddler's use.
Never remove biohazardous material without wearing gloves. "For cleaning blood or bloody fluids from floors, bed, etc., you can use household rubber gloves." Wear protection over eyes, nose, and mouth. Have a safe means of exit and a place to decontaminate yourself and clothing.
Blood as a biohazard will consist of wet or moist blood, or dried flakey (scabbing) blood. Adding chemicals to blood, something like bleach, will either destroy the blood or destroy its source of food or both. Bleach will begin to break down once in contact with blood, or any other organic matter.
Dried blood that flakes may easily become aerosolized if mishandled. Contact with airborne blood places the cleaner at risk of infectious disease. Blood stains are not biohazardous unless literally smeared upon open wounds or eyes. Be safe, seal it, double bag it.
Before removing, moisten flaking (scabbing) blood. Cause it not to become airborne. Cover flaked blood with paper towels and lightly mosten with a disinfectant (bleach) from afar. Use a spray bottle while making wide, misting applications to the paper towels' surface. Before removing blood, ensure that it is moist enough not to flake, but not dripping.
Dry paper towels may be used to contain wet blood. Allow towels to dwell until dry. Flush in small quantities, or gently place inside two thick plastic bags. Seal tightly with duct tape. Directly dispose of in a landfill.TOP
Dripping wet blood is considered biohazardous and universally considered infectious until proven otherwise. Contain blood from afar; disinfect it. Pour blood down the sanitary sewer if you are not going to seal it for transfer.
Thoroughly wash hands.

General. Universal precautions shall be observed to prevent contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials. Under circumstances in which differentiation between body fluid types is difficult or impossible, all body fluids shall be considered potentially infectious materials. (return)

The Center for Disease Control recommends using chemicals or autoclave to decontaminate. This recommendation is made in the context of laboratory work. In the home, on the crime scene, my philosophy is not to tolerate biowaste that may be biohazardous. I destroy and/or encapsulate any offending materials. I see no point in exposing anyone to needlessly exposing anyone to pathogens.
