How Murder Clean Ups Work

Posted by Newstartbio on September 21st, 2016

Figuratively speaking, death has always been called a messy affair. Bandied about as a metaphorical mess, where we take into consideration the prime complexities of existence itself, we forget that sometimes death can be literally messy as well. We’ve seen the TV shows that show all the after-death activities, the chalk outlines, the police discussing the blood splatters, and so on. But what we don’t get to see is what happens after the professionals are done inventorying. When they leave, the family is still left in the blood spattered room, looking at the last signs of life of their loved one. For the truth is that the police are not going to clean up your crime scene for you. A murder clean up in Bastrop, TX, or anywhere for that matter, is not just a grueling task, but also requires professional knowledge to actually do a good job. These days you can find a number of companies offering services for murder clean up in Bastrop, TX.
 
Basics
 
The job of the cleaners for crime scenes involves removing all the signs of the occurrence. This also means removing any resultant biohazards, which include all bodily fluids. Professional cleaners know what to look for. For example, if a layman was to see a thimble sized blood spot on the carpet, they’d clean it and call it a day, while professionals will know that there might be a significantly larger blood stain right under the carpet.
 
The Cleaning
 
The cleanup varies with the type of crime that was committed. There can be various types of bodily fluids contaminating the scene, fluids that are bio hazards and carry the possibility of infectious diseases. No matter what has happened, the cleaners approach the scene with the utmost care and protective equipment.
 
The Remainder Hazards
 
There is a difference between apparently clean and actually clean, a difference that is of major significance in a murder clean up. The cleaners use disinfectants of a hospital-grade and then wipe and scrub each drop of blood from every surface. This includes scrubbing ceilings, light fixtures, counters, walls, trinkets, appliances, etc. They scrape off any bone fragments or brain matter left behind. Blood soaked upholstery and carpets are ripped off, and sometimes, even left over body fragments need to be removed.
 
Decomp Scenes
 
A “decomp” scene refers to when a body has been left to rot in some place. Though a decomposing body scene is not as spread out as a shooting or stabbing, it can end up being even grosser. A body that has been decomposing for a long time goes through some changes. It swells, the organs start digesting themselves, the skin begins liquefying, and there are infestations of insects; in short, not a pretty scene. People will of course tell you that the sight is nothing compared to the smell. Apart from cleaning up the scene, the cleaners also have to track down any maggots that may have escaped from the body, carrying the infected blood.
 
The murder of a loved one is a horrifying business in itself but if at least a part of it can be taken care of; it just makes the ordeal slightly easier to bear.
