It varies with the size of the home and the amount of belongings. A cleaned and sorted house can take days to weeks. Biohazard cleanup comes first when the death was unattended, and the sorting follows once the home is safe.
Police and the medical examiner do not clean. The property owner, the family or the estate books and pays for cleanup. In a rental, the lease and local law decide who pays, and a landlord or an attorney can explain the details.
Photos, papers, jewelry and other keepsakes are set aside, cleaned when possible and returned to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Items that cannot be made safe are removed, and the team explains why.
A biohazard cleanup team does. After the funeral home or the medical examiner takes the person from the home, the room still holds fluids and odor. Cleanup technicians remove contaminated materials, disinfect and treat the air.
The fluids and tissue left behind can carry bloodborne pathogens, so cleanup crews treat them as biohazards. Ordinary cleaning products are not enough. Protective gear, EPA-registered disinfectants and regulated waste handling are the standard.
