After the scene is released
Do not enter or disturb an active scene that has not been released by law enforcement. Once the investigation is complete and access is permitted, cleanup can be evaluated based on the materials and areas affected.
What crime scene cleanup can involve
The work varies from one property to another. Cleanup may involve visible and hidden contamination, porous materials, flooring, furnishings, fixtures, and odor sources.
- Assessment of affected areas
- Removal of materials that cannot be adequately remediated
- Cleaning of impacted surfaces
- Attention to blood or bodily-fluid contamination
- Odor remediation after source materials are addressed
