Other names include biohazard remediation, bio hazard cleaning, bio cleanup and trauma cleanup. Professional biohazard cleanup is more involved than deep cleaning. Technicians use personal protective equipment, locate every contaminated place, remove porous material that disinfection cannot save and treat affected areas until each reaches a livable condition.

Biohazards are real health hazards that can make people seriously ill, and the contamination you can see is rarely all of it.
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.
Decomposition creates bacteria, gases and fluids that enter floors, then travel along the ventilation system into nearby rooms.
Within 24 to 48 hours, wet materials may begin growing mold. Raw sewage carries salmonella, hepatitis A and E. coli.
Blood can support hepatitis C, HIV and hepatitis B. Hepatitis B may survive on a surface for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
