Homicide Cleanup explained
What the Homicide Cleanup Service in Orange County Includes
Homicide cleanup means removing blood, other bodily fluids and contaminated material from a released property after investigative work is complete. It is a specialized type of crime scene cleanup.
Cleaning the property is not part of the work performed by law enforcement or the medical examiner, whose attention is on the investigation. After scene release, the homicide cleaning service may be arranged by relatives, a property owner, a landlord or another authorized person.
Ordinary cleaning services do not cover the full process. Cleanup technicians protect rooms outside the scene while locating affected material in the immediate space and nearby areas. They treat surfaces that are cleanable and remove those materials where disinfection is not possible. Odor treatment, the packaging and disposal of hazardous waste, and requested records for an insurance company are also included.
- Floors, walls and belongings exposed to blood or bodily fluids
- Hidden contamination under carpet, flooring and baseboards
- Scene processing residue left behind following official release
- Odor within HVAC routes, absorbent materials and the room air

First steps
Before Murder Cleanup Begins in Orange County
Your first steps are to respect the investigation, avoid exposure and preserve useful claim information. Before cleanup technicians enter:
Call (888) 351-0904- Confirm law enforcement released the scene. Ask the investigating officer or detective to confirm that authorized people may enter and that cleanup may begin.
- Restrict access to all affected areas. Close doors when possible, keep children and pets out, and avoid walking through blood into surrounding areas.
- Leave contaminated materials in place. Keep furniture and carpet in place, and do not clean surfaces. Relocating belongings may carry contamination elsewhere or disrupt evidence that investigators did not collect.
- Contact the insurance company. Notify the insurer of the loss and find out whether insurance cover applies. Record the claim number and every document the adjuster requests.
- Share access and scene details. Explain any police entry limits, identify the rooms that may be affected and name who can approve work for the homicide cleanup company.

Step by step
The Greater Orlando Homicide Cleanup Process
After scene release, a controlled order guides the remediation work. Each step reflects how far contamination went, which items can remain and the waste rules that govern the material.
Homicide Scene Assessment
Known affected areas are identified by the authorized person, then technicians assess surrounding surfaces, contents, floor borders and possible routes of spread.
Containment and Protective Gear
The cleanup area is isolated from unaffected rooms. Suitable personal protective equipment and controls help cleanup technicians limit the movement of contamination outside the scene.
Homicide Blood Cleanup
Visible blood and bodily fluids are collected with methods suited to each surface before detailed cleaning and disinfection begin.
Removal of Contaminated Materials
The smallest practical sections of upholstery, subfloor, carpet, padding or drywall are removed when complete disinfection is not possible.
Homicide Cleaning and Disinfection
After thorough scene cleaning, an EPA-registered disinfectant remains wet on each cleanable surface for the contact time stated on its label.
Murder Scene Odor Removal
Once the source is gone, air filtration and targeted treatment can address odor in room air, remaining materials and connected spaces.
Homicide Waste Disposal Records
Contaminated waste is sealed, labeled and moved according to applicable rules, with disposal records retained when available.
Final Homicide Cleanup Check
The completed scope is reviewed, saved personal property is returned as agreed and removed finishes are listed for restoration services.

Health and safety
Homicide Cleanup Health Risks in Florida: Why DIY Cleaning Is Unsafe
Blood, other bodily fluids and contamination hidden from view may create serious health risks. A dry appearance or a visibly small area does not remove those concerns.
Emotional Strain After a Homicide
Seeing the affected space can cause loved ones deep distress. Direct contact with the affected room and personal property can be avoided by family members through professional cleanup.
Managing Hazardous Waste From Homicide Clean Up
Soaked absorbent materials and used protective equipment may need compliant packaging, transport and disposal under relevant medical waste rules.
Contamination Beneath a Murder Scene Surface
Seams, wall voids, grout, subfloors and carpet pads may hold fluids. Cleaning the visible mark does not address material below or behind the surface.
Can you clean it yourself? A small amount of fresh blood on a hard, non-porous surface may be cleaned with disposable gloves and an EPA-registered disinfectant used for its full label contact time. Stay out and seek professional cleanup if blood affected drywall, fabric, wood, carpet or any space whose boundaries are uncertain.

Questions
Helpful Homicide Cleanup Answers to Frequently Asked Questions in Lawsona/Fern Creek
Who takes care of homicide scene cleaning in Lawsona/Fern Creek?
Once property clearance comes from law enforcement as well as the medical examiner, an authorized manager, relative, owner or landlord may organize cleanup. For biohazard remediation and blood cleanup, homicide cleaners can disinfect surfaces, treat odors and complete hazardous waste removal. Police conduct the investigation, but the cleaning service is not part of their work.
What differs between homicide cleanup and unattended death cleanup?
Different property conditions can be present in each, although both qualify as death cleanup and trauma scene cleanup. Until law enforcement releases a homicide scene, it stays under official control and may contain residue from evidence processing. Because the person was not found immediately, an unattended death commonly brings decomposition and odor concerns across a larger area.
Who takes care of murder scene cleanup?
Investigators must permit entry before professional homicide cleaners start work at a murder scene. The work may include waste disposal, containment, odor removal, disinfection, careful cleaning and taking out absorbed fluids. A family member should neither enter nor attempt cleanup if blood or bodily fluids remain in an area.
Can insurance cover the cost of crime scene cleanup?
Some or all covered expenses may be paid after the deductible, although terms vary for every policy and every situation. Share claim facts with the insurance company, then ask how the policy addresses restoration, building materials, biohazard cleanup and emergency response work. Save your invoices, disposal paperwork, scope details and photographs.
Does homeowners insurance cover a death cleanup in Florida?
Whether homeowners coverage applies to homicide scene cleanup depends on what happened, the policy wording, its deductible and any exclusions. The same is true for death cleanup. Speak with the insurer before cleanup starts. Ask the insurer about required documentation, biohazard cleanup, damaged materials, personal property and restoration before work starts.
What steps are used during professional murder cleanup?
The process begins with cleanup technicians identifying the affected area and establishing containment. With protective gear on, technicians gather visible material and take out porous items unsuitable for disinfection. After cleaning surfaces that remain, they use a disinfectant registered by the EPA for the contact time shown on its label. Hazardous waste is packaged before the finished scope receives a final check.
