Unattended Death Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Oakland Park, FL
What happens to the carpet and furniture?
Porous items such as carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery that absorbed fluids are usually removed and hauled away as biohazard waste. Hard items can often be cleaned and disinfected. The team explains which is which before work begins.
What is the best way to clean out my parents' home after their death?
Start with safety. If the death was unattended, biohazard cleanup comes first. Then set aside papers, photos and valuables, sort the rest by room and book hauling. An estate cleanout team can do the heavy work while the family makes decisions.
What should I not do after finding a death at home?
Call 911 first and do not touch anything. Do not try to clean fluids yourself, because they can carry germs. Do not vacuum or use household bleach. Wait for the authorities, then ask a cleanup team how to proceed.
Does hot weather make the problem worse?
Yes. Heat speeds the changes that cause fluids and odor, and a closed home can hold strong smells. The cleanup steps stay the same, but acting soon after the property is released helps keep the odor from spreading further.
What happens to personal belongings and keepsakes?
Photos, papers, jewelry and other keepsakes are set aside, cleaned when possible and returned to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Items that cannot be made safe are removed, and the team explains why.
Who cleans up after a dead body is removed?
A biohazard cleanup team does. After the funeral home or the medical examiner takes the person from the home, the room still holds fluids and odor. Cleanup technicians remove contaminated materials, disinfect and treat the air.
