Crime Scene Cleanup in Santa Clarita

Sterile Pros employs a systematic approach to cleaning that ensures each and every trauma scene meets or exceeds hospital-grade sanitation standards. Sterile Pros employs trained service technicians who are skilled in removing harmful biological contaminants, as well as any lingering odors. As remediation specialists, our primary goal is to preserve the customer’s property and return the home to a safe, livable condition.

Step One: Control the Contamination

For maximum control, our technicians use proven sanitation procedures, by establishing three zones using plastic sheeting and bio-tape to separate the contaminated area from other parts of the building. This prevents cross-contamination from occurring between clean and affected rooms:

  • The Control Zone is the contamination area, where work will take place.
  • The Buffer Zone is where technicians put on personal protective equipment, and fill disposal boxes.
  • The Clean Zone is designated to store tools and equipment, in order to prevent cross contamination.
 crime-scene-tape-3During all stages of the sanitation process, Sterile Pro technicians are fully protected by Personal Protective Equipment, including respiratory gear, a double layer of gloves, and hazmat suits designed especially for biohazard recovery.

We treat all crime scenes as if they contain a life threatening infection, because some of the worst viruses are known to survive in blood and biological materials. Statistics from the CDC show that 1 in 24 people has either HIV, Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C.

Step Two: Biohazard Cleaning and Structural Removal

  • Cleaning: Sterile Pro technicians start by removing all traces of dirt, chemicals, blood and biological materials from the control zone. Personal property that cannot be remediated must be disassembled and disposed of as medical waste.
  • Sanitization: After cleaning, technicians treat the control zone with disinfectants by spraying surfaces at precise intervals. Following treatment, the crew wipes all surfaces manually a second time before using adenosine triphosphate (ATP) fluorescence testing, the same technology used by hospitals to verify sanitation level.
  • Deodorization: In the final step, Sterile Pros uses a deodorizer to eliminate the possibility of lingering odors.

Vehicle Decontamination in Santa Clarita

If you use your car every day, as many of us do, it’s important that the interior environment remain safe and clean. As with all remediation projects, vehicle biohazard situations vary widely, from simple to complex. If a mechanic offers to clean your vehicle as part of a repair service, remember that this only eliminates visible dirt and debris. You may experience recurring odor, or worse – such as infectious biohazard.

Proper remediation is difficult enough in wide open spaces; the nooks and crannies of a vehicle makes cleaning blood from a car tougher. Literally every surface inside the car must be wiped down with a cleaning solution—even the tiniest crevice must be cleaned of all surface dirt and material in order to facilitate proper sanitization, or odor and risk of disease will occur. Some cleanups involve accidents with injuries or vehicle break-ins, where a careless perpetrator was injured during the crime.

Trauma scene cleanup means that the crew is responsible for the removal of sharps, in addition to blood and biohazards. We have cleaned vehicles following suicides, crime and accidents.

Accidents and Injuries Cleanup in Manufacturing, Commerce and Transportation

Accidents can happen anywhere. Although much of our work is performed in traditional homes or other building structures, Sterile Pro crews are frequently asked to clean up vehicular and mechanical contamination in manufacturing operations, industrial plants, construction and transportation. We have cleaned and sanitized very complex situations involving heavy machinery, buses, cars, semi-trucks, trains and others. We are fully trained to support all lockout-tagout procedures in facilities and manufacturing operations.

Due to potential health risks from bloodborne pathogens, OSHA regulations require that blood and other biological fluid be cleaned and disposed of in medically approved containers by trained employees wearing personal protective equipment. Most companies don’t have the resources required to properly train or manage their own staff on these important aspects of cleanup, so hiring a professional cleanup company like Sterile Pros is a cost-effective method of dealing with trauma scene cleanup.
