These cleaners have been hardened and trained on the job, and they also have the right equipment and knowledge to get to work professionally.
Every year, about 120 people are murdered in our country, and about 1,800 people die by suicide. Unfortunately, this also happens frequently in Groningen. The fire department, police, and medical teams are called in to investigate the crime scene.
In the case of a homicide, the area is cordoned off to preserve evidence and keep onlookers away. The risk of contamination also plays a major role. During the investigation, detectives therefore wear sterile white clothing to prevent, among other things, the transmission of viruses and bacteria. Once the remains have been removed, the investigation is complete, and the crime scene has been reopened, “the Pros” from 12B Clean arrive to clean up and disinfect the scene.
As a crime scene cleaner, you need to be mentally strong, set your emotions aside, and proceed in a systematic and professional manner. For the bereaved and the community, it is essential that the scene of the tragedy be restored to normal as quickly as possible.
The odor of a decomposing body is often overwhelming and attracts pests. This makes it essential to adopt a thorough approach to prevent the situation from getting worse. The site is always cleaned by a team of several people. This allows them to work efficiently and support one another.
Priority 1:
Fluids released during death may contain disease-causing viruses and microorganisms. To prevent infection with TB, hepatitis, HIV, etc., immediate and thorough cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting are essential.
The “Pros” at 12B Clean have developed their own industrial and chemical cleaning products that more than meet the requirements established by biohazard regulations. These products are specifically designed for cleaning bloodstains or other liquid stains.
Priority 2:
Having a crime scene cleaned up is a task that involves a lot of work. Specialized training for these tasks is therefore essential. It’s also very important to be personally resilient, because you never really get used to it.
We more than meet the stringent requirements set forth herein. We are trained in biohazard techniques, know which methods and cleaning and disinfecting agents are required, and how to work with compressed air and protective clothing. But we also know how to handle the human side of the matter: showing respect for the person involved, their family and loved ones, and the environment where the tragedy took place.
Please call one of our staff members if you have any questions or would like a quote.
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.
