Police Do Not Do Crime Scene Cleaning
This is a misconception that many have, but law enforcement personnel as well as coroners are not required to do crime scene cleanup. They are there to take in the details of the crime and to work to solve the issue and document what happened. It is incumbent on the property owner to arrange for the crime scene cleanup to occur. And while many times this might involve blood or other bodily fluids, it can also be chemicals used in the manufacture of drugs, or other hazardous substances.
It is important to understand that crime scene cleanup needs more than just normal cleaning products that you can get anywhere. The nature of the substances being cleaned require agents that neutralize various pathogens and are designed to break down the organic substances that are present. Speed is also important, as the longer things are left the more they can spread and expose people to harm.
Proper Disposal and Disinfection Is Important
Because safety is paramount when handling a crime scene cleanup, proper disposal of materials used in cleaning as well as materials that cannot be cleaned but need to be removed is important. These materials must be rendered inert and harmless before they can be put into the normal waste stream. Disinfection of surfaces and items must also happen, along with sanitizing. These steps are crucial to a complete cleaning service.
While it might be tempting to attempt cleaning up a crime scene yourself in Anaheim, Cudahy, Huntington Beach, Irvine, Newport Beach, Santa Ana, CA, and the surrounding areas, you are opening yourself up to potential harm, as well as not cleaning things properly.
