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.
Unfortunately, it often happens in Groningen that a deceased person is not found until several days, weeks, or sometimes even many months have passed. In the latter case, the body is already in an advanced state of decomposition, and the resulting odor alerts those in the vicinity.
We understand that requesting cleaning services for a death scene is a sensitive matter. We know how to handle this situation. We are available 24/7 to perform cleaning work that is both emotionally and physically demanding. For this purpose, we have a specially trained Crime Scene Clean Team.
In our country, a deceased person is found every other day who has gone unnoticed for more than 24 hours. It is even common for someone to be found who has gone unnoticed for as long as half a year. These are people who have little contact with their family and/or community—primarily older men who live alone.
We believe these are significantly large numbers that really matter. In our view, every single case is one too many!
Any body (or carcass) in a state of decomposition emits various types of foul odors due to the release of gases and compounds. The source of these odors must be addressed first. Afterward, the area must be professionally cleaned and disinfected immediately. Where necessary, we eliminate these odors using ozone treatment.
We’ll be on-site within a few hours and will finish the job within a few hours as well. They arrive in protective gear, and masks and safety goggles are also part of our professionals’ equipment. By the time they leave, the home will be cleared of anything that still reminds you of the traumatic event.
