Good to know
“Crime scene cleanup” doesn't always mean a crime
Crime scene cleanup is an industry term. Over the years it has come to cover any hazardous cleaning after a death, injury or accident, and many of the jobs we do don’t involve a crime at all. Even after a natural death, police are often first on the scene, and that’s one of several reasons the name stuck.
Know this: if blood or bodily fluids were left anywhere at your home or business, we can help. We clean it, disinfect it and deodorize it with state-of-the-art odor removal, so the space is safe and livable again.
- Natural and unattended deaths

- Blood and bodily fluids, cleaned and disinfected
- Odors removed with state-of-the-art deodorizing
- Crime scenes, once police release them
What we do
How blood cleanup works in Racine
Household cleaners can make blood look gone while leaving it in grout, carpet pad, upholstery and seams. That’s a health risk, especially with kids or pets in the home.
We find where it went, remove what can’t be decontaminated, and clean the rest to a standard you can trust.
Included
- Homes, apartments and garages
- Cars, trucks and work vehicles
- Workplaces and job sites
- Upholstery, carpet and mattress treatment or removal
- Compliant disposal
- Documentation for insurance or workers' comp

Where it hides
Where blood ends up that you can't see
Blood soaks in fast. On carpet, it goes through to the pad and sometimes the subfloor. On tile, it gets into grout. On vinyl and laminate, it runs into the seams and under the planks. On upholstery and car seats, it soaks into the foam. A surface that looks clean after scrubbing often still has contamination underneath.
That’s why we start every blood cleanup by checking below the surface. We lift carpet edges, look at seams and grout and check underneath furniture that was nearby. Only then do we write the scope, so you know what needs to be removed and what can be cleaned.
Safety
Why bleach and a mop aren't enough
Bleach can make blood look gone without reaching what soaked in, and on some surfaces it sets stains. More importantly, blood can carry bloodborne pathogens, and cleaning it without protective gear and proper disposal puts people at risk. Contaminated rags, gloves and materials are infectious waste and shouldn’t go in the household trash.
Our techs clean and disinfect with hospital-grade products, wear full protective gear and package all waste for licensed disposal. For a small spot after a minor injury, you may not need us. For anything larger, or anything that has soaked in, a professional cleanup is the safe call.
Timeline
How long blood cleanup takes
Most blood cleanups are finished in a few hours to a day. Fresh blood is easier to remove fully, so calling soon after the area is released makes a difference. If flooring has to come out, the cleanup itself still usually takes a day, and the rebuild follows.
For businesses, we can usually work after hours or between shifts and have the area ready for staff in the morning. We’ll tell you when we can start and how long the space will be out of use before you approve anything.

From our techs
Blood cleanup tips from our techs
What we tell families on the phone before we arrive.
Blood goes deeper than it looks
On carpet, blood soaks into the pad and subfloor. A clean surface doesn’t mean it’s gone.
Skip the bleach
Bleach can set stains and fumes can be harmful in small rooms. It also doesn’t fix what’s under the surface.
Wear gloves if you must touch it
If you have to move something, use disposable gloves and bag them. Wash your hands right after.
Clean it sooner, not later
Fresh blood is easier to remove fully. Call as soon as the area is released.

After an accident in our home, we needed specialized cleaning. The technicians were respectful, thorough, and careful with our belongings. We really appreciated how they handled everything.
We had a situation that regular cleaning wasn't going to handle. They explained the difference between general cleaning and biohazard remediation, which helped us understand what was necessary.
