Questions About Cleaning Up Blood in Banner Elk

How do crime scene cleaners clean blood?

Crime scene cleaners wear protective gear, contain the area, remove soaked porous materials and lift blood from hard surfaces. They then disinfect with EPA-registered products and haul the waste away. The goal is to remove the hazard, not just the stain.

Should I use cloth towels or paper towels to clean up blood?

Disposable absorbent towels are usually used so they can be bagged and thrown out as waste. Cloth towels that touch blood become contaminated laundry and need careful handling. Either way, wear gloves and never reuse a towel on another surface.

Is blood a biohazard?

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.

How long does blood cleanup take?

It depends on the size of the spill and the materials involved. A small spill on tile is a short job. Blood that reached carpet, padding or subfloor takes longer because materials must be removed and the area disinfected.

What cleans up blood the best?

No single product is best for every surface. Blood is lifted first, then the area is disinfected with a product made for bloodborne pathogens. Porous materials such as carpet or drywall often have to be removed instead of cleaned.

Is dried blood still a biohazard?

Yes. Dried blood can still carry germs, and some viruses, such as hepatitis B, can last on surfaces for a long time. Scraping or scrubbing dried blood can also put particles into the air, so it should be handled with protection and disinfected.
