Forensic cleaning services are usually needed after incidents such as homicides, suicides, unattended deaths, industrial accidents, hoarding situations, and biohazard spills, including blood or bodily fluid contamination.

Forensic cleaning goes beyond standard cleaning by dealing with biohazards, bloodborne pathogens, and other potentially hazardous substances. It requires specialised training, equipment, and strict adherence to safety protocols.

Forensic cleaning technicians wear personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, masks, and suits to protect themselves from biohazards. They also use specialised cleaning agents and equipment designed for decontamination.

The duration of forensic cleaning depends on the size of the affected area, the level of contamination, and the specific circumstances of the incident. A professional assessment is typically carried out to provide an accurate estimate of the time needed.
