What blood spill cleanup covers:
The team looks at where the blood spread, what it soaked into and which surfaces are involved.
Plastic sheeting and sealed doorways keep the blood from being carried into clean rooms on shoes or tools.
Soaked materials are cut out and bagged. Hard surfaces are cleaned, then disinfected with EPA-registered products.
The crew inspects each affected area, hauls away the waste and can provide notes for insurance claims.
Most blood spill cleanup jobs in Edmonds, WA cost between $300 and $5,000, based on published cost guides.
Odor treatment is added when the smell has settled into fabric or building materials, because it takes extra products and time.

Surface stains may lift, but blood that soaked through carpet and padding can sit in the subfloor and keep carrying germs and odor. In that case the soaked carpet and padding are cut out and disposed of as waste.
Usually not. Small amounts of blood on a hard surface can be cleaned with gloves and a disinfectant. A cleanup service becomes useful when the spill is large, has soaked in, reached several rooms or involved another person's blood.
Yes. Blood can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV, so it is treated as a biological hazard. Cleaning it up follows the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, when workers are involved.
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Keep people and pets away from the blood, do not wipe it up bare-handed and take photos if you can. Write down what the blood touched so the crew knows where to look.
It depends on the germ and the conditions, and nobody can judge it by looking at a stain. Hepatitis B, for example, can survive on surfaces for a considerable time. That is why dried blood is treated as infectious until it has been properly disinfected.
Cleanup begins only after law enforcement releases the scene. A crime scene cleaning team then removes blood, bodily fluids and contaminated materials, disinfects the affected area and treats odor. Family members should not clean it themselves.
Calls are answered 24/7, and the job is planned on the call.
