The answer is simple: call a professional biohazard remediation team for help. When calling a professional biohazard cleaning service like Bio-One, you can:
Prevent further trauma
Avoid spreading bloodborne pathogens
Ensure the remediation is completed safely
Expect the job to be done right
Receive help filing an insurance claim
When loved ones or neighbors try to clean up the scene, they are doing it with the best of intentions. But they could also experience emotional trauma from the clean up.
The three most common diseases spread through blood are HIV, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C. If the person cleaning the scene isn’t properly protected, they could accidentally become infected and not realize it.
Hazardous cleaning requires specialized training, protective equipment, and adherence to OSHA regulations.
Bio-One uses powerful proprietary chemicals and processes and we have the experience to efficiently and thoroughly remediate any location.
Homeowners insurance often covers biohazard remediation. The Bio-One billing team can assist filing and submitting homeowner's insurance claims. If homeowners insurance is available, Bio-One will ask for the following information to begin the claim process:
Name of the insured
The name of the individual on the insurance policy.
Insurance carrier
Business name of the insurance provider.
Policy number
The insurance policy number.
Date of loss
This is the date when the event that caused the damage or loss occurred.
Tips When Calling Bio-One - Trauma Scene Cleaning

I rarely review things. But I'd be doing you a huge disservice by not letting you know about Tim and his team at Bio-One. I had a hoarding/squalor situation in a relative's house. How bad was it? Google "domestic squalor home" and imagine just as bad as the worst images you see. I sought quotes from three different companies and chose Bio-One, here's three reasons why you should choose Bio-One: 1. I met face-to-face with Tim as he carefully walked through the home in order to observe the situation and give me a fair quote. Tim clearly understands the business and was nothing but professional and respectful in helping me with my case. He took the time to explain the psychology behind people living in squalor; it was clear he wasn't just there to remove debris/trash but to also help locate any items of value (both sentimental and monetary). Because he knew the psychology, he knew where to look and located several important items. 2. His quote was competitive and in the end with the remediation work was by far the best value. Cleaning a squalor situation is one thing, but removing smells and remediating is entirely different. Tim and Bio-One delivered on all accounts. 3. I live a day's drive from Memphis and could not be there to observe most of the job. He took pictures throughout the cleaning process and did a great job of communicating with me over the phone. He let me know when he found anything of value, when rooms were cleaned, and how the remediation was going. He let me know ahead of time how long he thought it would take. When his crew was delayed or tasked to other jobs, he let me know so I always knew what was going on. Even during the height of COVID, his team at Bio-One completed the work on time. The sticker shock that accompanies the cost of cleaning and remediation is real. But if you choose Bio-One, you will get outstanding service at a competitive price. I can't put into words how pleased I was with everything they did.

I used Bio-One to clean up animal waste in an attic before moving into our house. He was very informative and helpful throughout the whole process!
