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 Nijmegen, too, it often happens that a person goes unnoticed after death. In some cases, the body is already in an advanced state of decomposition. The neighborhood is often alerted only by the odor emanating from the body.
At 12B Clean, “the Pros”—a specially trained Crime Scene Clean Team—are on call 24/7 to perform 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 had gone unnoticed for more than a day. In urban areas such as Nijmegen, someone is even found every year who had gone unnoticed for more than half a year. These are mostly elderly men who live in isolation and have little contact with their family and/or the community.
We see these as significant numbers that really matter. Every body that goes unnoticed is—in our view—one too many!
Before we professionally clean the space, we eliminate the source of this 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.
We’ll be on-site within a few hours and will finish the job within a few hours as well. They arrive wearing protective gear, and our professionals are equipped with masks and safety goggles. By the time we leave, the home will be cleared of anything that still reminds you of the traumatic event.
