Other names include biohazard remediation, bio hazard cleaning, bio cleanup and trauma cleanup. Professional biohazard cleanup is more involved than deep cleaning. Technicians use personal protective equipment, locate every contaminated place, remove porous material that disinfection cannot save and treat affected areas until each reaches a livable condition.

People can become seriously ill because biohazards are health hazards, and contamination often extends beyond the areas you can see.
Hepatitis A, salmonella and E. coli travel in raw sewage, while materials left wet may develop mold in 24 to 48 hours.
Decomposition creates bacteria, gases and fluids that enter floors, then travel along the ventilation system into nearby rooms.
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV can live in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days.
Surface cleaning with sprays or bleach misses fluids that have entered carpet padding, drywall and the subfloor. If contaminated matter is left behind, bacteria and odor return. Decontamination services remove that matter.
