We handle trauma scenes, unattended deaths, vehicle decontamination, encampments, and more. This section outlines what qualifies as a biohazard and how our certified team restores safety and dignity to affected spaces.
A biohazard is any biological substance—like blood, bodily fluids, feces, or drug residue—that can pose a serious health risk to people.
Biohazards can carry pathogens such as HIV, hepatitis, MRSA, and other infectious diseases. Common examples include blood from a trauma scene, decomposed remains, human waste, animal waste, or contaminated sharps. These substances require specialized handling under OSHA and California hazardous waste regulations. Forensiclean is certified to safely remove and dispose of biohazards in homes, businesses, vehicles, and public areas. Read more about how we got here.
Trauma scene cleanup involves the safe removal of blood, fluids, and biohazards after a death or violent incident.
This isn’t janitorial cleaning—it’s a regulated service that restores safety and dignity to contaminated environments using OSHA/EPA-approved methods. See Trauma and Crime Scene Cleanup
Trauma cleanup uses EPA-registered disinfectants, hazmat protocols, and licensed disposal.
This is regulated work involving biohazards—not routine cleaning. Specialized gear, training, and documentation are required. See Sharps Removal and Medical Waste

Yes. Forensiclean uses commercial-grade odor neutralization and decontamination protocols to eliminate biohazard-related odors at the source.
We don’t just mask smells—we remove the biological cause through deep cleaning, ozone or hydroxyl treatment, and material disposal if needed. That said, smell memory is powerful, especially after trauma. It’s not uncommon for survivors to continue sensing an odor that’s no longer present—this is known as olfactory hallucination and can be part of the brain’s trauma response. We’re here to help with both the physical cleanup and the emotional reality of recovery. See Human Waste and Bodily Fluid

Yes. We provide certified deep cleaning and disinfection after trauma, medical events, or infectious disease exposure throughout California.
