Crime Scene Cleanup explained
Crime Scene Cleanup in Pima County: What It Is and What It Covers
Crime scene cleanup is the process of making a property safe to use following a violent crime. Tissue, body fluids, contaminated materials and blood are taken away, and the area is then disinfected and cleared of odor. Forensic cleaning and trauma scene cleanup are other names for this work.
Cleanup begins only after the investigation is finished. Evidence is gathered and the deceased is removed by police, detectives and the medical examiner, none of whom clean the property. Once released, the scene becomes the responsibility of its owner, landlord or the family.
Forensic cleaners, also known as a forensic clean up crew or crime scene cleaners, assume that each drop of blood may be infectious. Their work includes finding where it spread, taking away anything that cannot be disinfected, treating and cleaning the surfaces, and removing hazardous materials under medical waste rules. The full process is biohazard remediation and covers cleanup from start to finish.
- Any surface with bodily fluids, blood or tissue
- Residue from fingerprint powder, chemicals and luminol
- Saturated furniture, drywall, carpet and padding
- Odor trapped in air, ventilation and soft surfaces

Step by step
The Crime Scene Cleaning Process in Greater Tucson
Although no two crime scenes are alike, each remediation process uses one safe sequence. The crime scene cleanup process moves in that order from an initial walk-through through the final inspection.
Crime Scene Assessment
Technicians inspect and photograph the scene alongside you or your representative, then get agreement on the scope before beginning.
Containment and Protective Gear
Technicians put on full personal protective equipment, then contain the affected area using plastic sheeting and negative air.
Removal of Contaminated Materials
Saturated drywall, carpeting, padding, mattresses and furnishings are removed, placed in bags and sealed for medical waste disposal.
Crime Scene Cleaning and Disinfection
Technicians clean every surface before using hospital-grade disinfectant registered by the EPA for its required contact time.
Odor Removal and Air Quality
HVAC vents are examined, and air scrubbers, ozone or hydroxyl generators are used to treat the source of smells.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
Each sealed container is followed through delivery by paperwork and taken to an authorized medical waste treatment site.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
Surfaces can be checked with ATP testing, and you get photos and records for your insurance claim.
Restoration After Crime Scene Cleanup
After cleanup, replacement drywall and flooring may be installed by your contractor or the insurance company's vendor.

Health and safety
Health Risks of DIY Crime Scene Cleaning
Serious health risks can come from blood and bodily fluids, including contamination beyond what you are able to see.
Contaminated Materials Left Behind
Blood can enter grout, flow beneath baseboards and pass through carpet to padding and subfloor. A surface-only cleaning leaves concealed residue that can bring back bacteria and odor.
Biohazard Waste Disposal in Arizona
Soaked materials are regulated medical waste. Disposal in home trash or dumpsters is not allowed, so an approved treatment facility must receive them.
Bloodborne Pathogens at Crime Scenes
HIV and the hepatitis B and C viruses may be carried in blood. Despite dry-looking blood, hepatitis B may survive on surfaces for at least seven days, according to the CDC.
Can you clean it yourself? Wear gloves and apply an EPA-registered disinfectant when fresh blood is limited to a few drops on any hard, non-porous surface. Professional cleanup is needed when you cannot identify the spill edges or when contamination reaches wood, drywall, carpeting or fabric.
