12B Clean
At 12B Clean, we don’t shy away from anything—and I mean absolutely anything—when it comes to cleaning. Our three divisions are staffed by intelligent and highly trained people who know exactly what is expected of them.
In Amsterdam, too, it often happens that a person remains undiscovered after death. In some cases, the body is then in an advanced state of decomposition. The neighborhood is often alerted only by the odor that accompanies it.
We understand that requesting a cleanup of a death scene is a sensitive matter. We know how to handle it. We’re here for you year-round, day and night, to carry out emotionally and physically demanding cleanup work. We have a specially trained Crime Scene Clean Team for this purpose.
Every other day, a deceased person is found somewhere in the Netherlands who had gone unnoticed for more than 24 hours. In urban areas such as Amsterdam, someone is even found every year who had gone unnoticed for more than six months. These are mostly elderly men who live alone and have little contact with their family and/or neighbors.
We view these as significantly large numbers that truly matter. We believe that every body that goes unnoticed is one too many!
Before we professionally clean the space, we remove the source of the odor. This odor is caused by gases and compounds escaping from a body that is decomposing. Where necessary, we eliminate this odor with an ozone treatment.
Our professionals are on standby within a few hours and can complete the job within a few hours as well. We arrive wearing protective gear, including masks and safety goggles. By the time we leave, the space will be cleared of anything that still reminds you of the traumatic event.
