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 Hoofddorp that a deceased person is not discovered until several days, weeks, or—as is often the case—many months later. In the latter situation, the body is already in an advanced state of decomposition, and the foul odor it emits alerts those in the vicinity.
At 12B Clean, “the Pros”—a specially trained Crime Scene Clean Team—are on standby 24/7 to carry out emotionally and physically demanding cleaning work. Simply requesting that a death scene be cleaned is a sensitive matter in itself. We know how to handle it.
Every other day, a deceased person is found somewhere in the Netherlands who has gone unnoticed for more than 24 hours. In urban areas such as Hoofddorp, someone is even found every year who has gone unnoticed for more than six months. These are often older men who live alone and have little contact with their family and/or neighbors.
So we're talking about large numbers that are significant and really matter. Because, in our view, every single case is one too many.
Any body (or carcass) in a state of decomposition emits various types of odors as gases and compounds escape. The source of this odor must be addressed first. Next, the area must be professionally cleaned and disinfected immediately. Where necessary, we use ozone treatment for this purpose.
We wear protective clothing, safety goggles, and masks—equipped with purified compressed air when necessary—to carry out the step-by-step plan under the proper conditions. We’re usually finished in just a few hours. By the time we leave, the home has been cleared of anything that still reminds the occupants of the traumatic event.
