Atglen Crime Scene Cleanup: Common Questions Answered
How are crime scenes cleaned?
Crews contain the affected area, remove contaminated materials and clean and disinfect what remains. They treat odor, dispose of waste as regulated medical waste and inspect the result. Protective equipment is worn throughout.
Is dried blood still dangerous?
Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and scraping or wiping it can release particles. It should be handled in protective gear and disinfected, which is why crews treat old stains as seriously as fresh ones.
How long does it take to clear a crime scene?
That is up to law enforcement and the case, and it can vary. Cleanup comes after the release. The length of the cleanup itself depends on the size of the scene and how far fluids spread.
What happens to belongings and keepsakes?
Crews set personal items aside and clean what can be saved. Items soaked with fluids may have to be removed. The team tells you what it finds so you can decide what matters.
