Disaster Cleanup

12B Clean offers immediate assistance with the toughest cleaning jobs, anywhere in the Netherlands. Disaster cleanup is our most specialized service: a team that’s on call 24/7 to clean up the scene of a trauma, a crime, or a serious biohazard situation. We restore the site to a clean and accessible condition, with respect for those affected and their loved ones.

The Work of Our Emergency Response Team

Our people are seasoned by real-world experience. They can handle extreme situations, carry out their work calmly, and support the bereaved. A crime scene is an emotionally charged environment, where evidence often points to a tragedy. It’s up to our team to change that within a few hours.

With the right people, equipment, and resources, such a location can often be restored to its normal state within two to three hours. Everyone on the team is educated and trained in the field for this demanding work, and learns to use equipment and resources specifically designed for disaster cleanup.

Consideration for the bereaved

Disaster cleanup is about more than just cleaning. Our team members work with respect and compassion for those affected and with consideration for their loved ones. They are also there to offer support at a time when it is needed most. We arrive in plain clothes and unmarked vehicles so that those around us are not aware of our presence.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Arthur, and as one of ‘The Pros,’ I’m deployed to dangerous locations that most people would rather avoid. But I can make a real difference for others there.”

Trauma and Biohazard Cleanup

Trauma and biohazard cleanup is at the heart of our emergency response work. It involves the systematic clearing, cleanup, cleaning, and disinfection of a space where an accident, a suicide, or a crime has occurred. This specialty also covers cases of natural death that are not discovered until some time has passed. Our trauma cleanup is carried out according to a set protocol and using the appropriate protective equipment.

Murder and the Crime Scene

Cleaning up a crime scene requires professionals who can set their emotions aside and follow a set step-by-step plan. The sooner the scene is restored to normal, the better it is for the bereaved and the surrounding community. A swift, appropriate response also prevents worse consequences: traces left behind and the odor of a decomposing body attract pests and pose a health risk.
