Every year, countless incidents require the specialised service of trauma cleaning. This can range from crime scenes to unattended deaths, and each situation presents unique challenges that need professional attention.
ICE Cleaning's trauma cleaning services offer a comprehensive solution for these difficult circumstances. Our highly trained technicians have the knowledge and tools to handle any biohazardous materials safely and efficiently.
Read on to learn more about trauma cleaning and if these cleaners work for emergency services.
What is trauma cleaning?
Trauma cleaning is an intensive sanitisation process necessitated by unfortunate events such as homicides or suicides. This unique clean-up extends beyond ordinary housekeeping chores to include dealing with biohazardous materials.
Blood and bodily fluids left behind in the aftermath of these tragic incidents are just some examples that pose serious health risks if not handled appropriately.
Moreover, unattended deaths also call for this meticulous level of cleaning. The potential hazards associated with improper disposal or mishandling of such substances can be substantial, thus underlining the importance of professional trauma cleaners' expertise.
Why is trauma cleaning necessary?
Trauma cleaning is essential to public health and safety as biohazardous materials left behind after traumatic events can foster harmful bacteria or viruses.
These risky substances, such as blood and body fluids, can form a situation that presents major health threats if not managed correctly. The need for professional trauma cleaners arises here with their specialised equipment and techniques.
Their job is not just about removal but also restoring the area to its original condition. These professionals strictly adhere to industry standards during decontamination, ensuring the elimination of dangerous biological material.
The importance of trauma cleaning
Trauma cleaning, a process often overlooked, serves as a lifeline for those grappling with the aftermath of traumatic incidents. It is about eradicating physical traces and initiating the healing journey.
Imagine walking into your home or business premises after an incident; it is crucial to feel safe again. This is where trauma cleaning steps in - restoring spaces to their original state and eliminating visible signs with potential health risks.
Sensitivity and professionalism are paramount during these times. The service is tailored to individual situations, acknowledging that no two scenarios are identical.
Recuperation from upsetting occurrences can be overpowering, yet recall you are not the only one in this excursion. Professional trauma cleaners help by offering a fresh start in familiar surroundings.
Do emergency services provide trauma cleaning?
In the face of traumatic events, emergency services play a pivotal role. Their expertise, however, is centred around immediate life-saving measures and not the subsequent trauma cleaning.
This is not an oversight on their part but rather a lack of specialised training they have. Dealing with biohazards post-trauma demands specific skills that are beyond their expertise. The potential health risks further underline the need for such specialist knowledge.
Beyond training, equipment plays an equally important part in trauma clean-up operations. The gear used by emergency personnel does not include necessary protective clothing or specific cleaning products designed for comprehensive trauma clean-up.
Frequently asked questions
What is trauma cleaning?
Trauma cleaning is the professional removal of biohazardous materials, such as blood and bodily fluids, following tragic events like homicides or unattended deaths.

Trauma cleaners do not work for emergency services like the police or paramedics but are outsourced by the owner of the affected property. This could be an individual, business, or the council.
Do crime scene cleaners experience trauma?
Crime scene cleaners often witness distressing scenarios that could lead to emotional stress or even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
