Answers About Cleaning Up After a Death in Okeechobee, FL

Who cleans up after a dead body is removed?

A biohazard cleanup team does. After the funeral home or the medical examiner takes the person from the home, the room still holds fluids and odor. Cleanup technicians remove contaminated materials, disinfect and treat the air.

Will the neighbors know about the cleanup?

Crews work quietly and handle the job with discretion. Ask about arrival and parking details when you call. If a landlord needs to notify other tenants, that is the landlord's decision, not the crew's.

What happens to the carpet and furniture?

Porous items such as carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery that absorbed fluids are usually removed and hauled away as biohazard waste. Hard items can often be cleaned and disinfected. The team explains which is which before work begins.

What safety standards do cleanup crews follow?

Workers who handle blood and body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. It calls for protective equipment, safe handling and proper disposal. Ask any team what training it has and how it disposes of waste.

Can a home be sold or rented after an unattended death?

Yes, once it has been properly cleaned and any needed repairs are done. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent. A cleanup team can provide records of the work.

Is a dead body a biohazard?

The fluids and tissue left behind can carry bloodborne pathogens, so cleanup crews treat them as biohazards. Ordinary cleaning products are not enough. Protective gear, EPA-registered disinfectants and regulated waste handling are the standard.
