Any caller from Earp will reach me, Eddie Evans. I do not use an answering machine or an answering service. I do not use employees. This explains my low prices. Earp residents should expect answers to hard questions. Expect real answers about blood cleanup following a death involving homicide, suicide, or unattended death. My costs show a self-employed cleaner's prices. I have always preferred to work alone. I don't need to puff-up an invoice. I don't need to charge $200 to $350 per hour. Some of my competitors charge $200 to $350 per employee per hour. Not me. I give a flat fee before I begin. When I complete my work, the fee's the same as when started. A Self-Employed Blood Cleanup Technician Helps A self-employed cleaner may work flexibly by adding time to a job. Adding adding a bit of extra detail sometimes comes in handy. Somehow making life easier for clients helps me too. In this way I do additional chores. i help families out. A helping approach to biohazard cleanup serves me very well. I feel good about this part of my business. Can you imagine the experience gained by cleaning after hundreds of death scenes alone? I feel that my service, experience, and blood cleanup experience benefits all parties involved. Call for more information or to make an appointment. My business experience taught me that not everyone can afford a professional biohazard cleaner. So I give a few tips for blood cleanup. If you must cleanup blood, then you must work with patience. Think about your next step first. Do thorough cleaning. Take your time. Get used to this new environment by observing it from a distance. Move around the room while staying off any blood that may have contaminated the floor. Get different perspectives because your next steps include creating a plan on paper. Leave room between your steps because you will add and delete as you think about what to do. For sure you don’t want to repeat steps. Work with confidence. In the past you cleaned many times. You survived. Here you will have some apprehension. Of course its natural to feel a little nervous. This cleaning job looks a little different than others. Odor has nothing to do with disease. It might spoil your lunch, but it cannot make you sick. Odors consist of gases, not germs. Airborne germs do mix with odors. In blood cleanup, germs we worry about come by blood, not airborne death gases. We know that blood’s contents include feces. Other body matter decomposes as urine, enzymes, fats, oils, and tiny micro-organisms. Sometimes decomposing blood might have some viruses in it. Viruses do not look like other life forms. In fact, it's hard to say that viruses are "alive." viruses known as HIV, Hepatitis B and C, and more. Blood’s bacteria count once death occurs grows exponentially as decomposition follows. Blood’s filth begins off-gassing methane, sulfur, and derivatives of these gases. Other chemicals soon join the stink. So long as the cleaner remains at a distance from blood there's little risk contamination. But, airborne dried, flaky blood happens to create infectious conditions for the cleaner. No fans or air handlers should run during removing dried, flaky blood. Ware thick gloves when working near blood. ware goggles. ware a respirator, and if not a respirator, at least ware a paper mask or cloth over the nose and mouth. If you have coveralls, ware them too. If you can buy a protective suit at a hardware store, so much the better. Cleaners have no need to fear bloodborne pathogens if they plan ahead, detail by detail. Know where you want to go. If you plan well your job requires handling objectionable materials once and only once. So plan and think before acting. Remain focused, remain patient, and keep your plan’s details in mind. Sometimes a plan falters. With loss of focus, interruptions, completing different phases of your work may take a little more time. Creating Distance Reducing risk by creating distance helps. Keep so between yourself and blood makes good sense. Extension polls and attached scrub brushes help. An extension poll with a grout brush helps clean grout lines. Sealer Some times it makes sense to seal once blood soiled areas. Kilz and Zinnsser both offer mater and oil based sealing products. Buy at least two cans of Zennesser oil based spray paint from the Home Depot or Lowes. When you walk into the death scene room (stay off any blood stained floor) walk to the mattress and blast it. During this time at least one window should be open. Also, be aware that airborne residue from the spray cans builds in the air. A fine, white mist of sealer may settle on surrounding furniture and flooring. Always wear a mask when cleaning up blood. Use the same mask when spraying a sealer.
Rope I cannot say enough about having a strong piece of rope. Use your rope to create handles at two ends of your mattress. These handles become important when moving a bulky mattress down stairs or through doors. They also help when lifting a mattress into a trailer, van, or truck.
I've avoided using mops for blood cleanup until recently. In the past I use window squeezes, wet/dry vac's, paper towels, and blood soaks (large gray, thick paper squares). Recently I find using a mop accommodates my beginning back. Before mopping, I scrub and rinse blood soaked floors. Sometimes straight vinegar works pretty well if left to dwell long enough. Vinegar's acidic Ph level gives it a mild, lower disinfectant quality. Vinegar does not cause suds when vacuumed into a wet vacuum for toilet disposal. This gives it another important advantage over suds creating detergent, surfactants. Incidentally, vinegar seems to work well removing fingerprint dust. Use a good mop. A bucket of cool water allows for cleaning your mop as you work. Always exchange soiled for clean mop water. Or, use a good toilet to rinse out a blood stained mop head. The toile approach allows for faster mop head rinsing. The clean bucket water poured directly on to a soiled floor helps keep the bucket's water clean. This is a system. Eventually cleaners want to move to bleach to "nuke" blood soiled floors. Bleaching some natural floors may create damage. Keep in mind, too, some natural stone floors, like travertine, have many holes requiring individual cleaning and vacuuming. Bidding on this type of floor should take this labor intensive task seriously. I rarely use a mop, and if I must, I would throw it away after thoroughly cleaning it. I would also place it in a thick plastic bag before disposing of it. A really nice mop-head made out of micro-fiber goes for about $10 at the Home Depot. Extra money will pay for itself in time saved. Trying to save a few dollars during blood cleanup makes zero sense. Paper Towels When cleaning blood from a nonporous floor the cleaner might want to use paper towels or cloth towels. This approach costs some money, but it works well while helping the cleaner create distance from the blood. Paper towels as well as cloth towels react well to bleach solutions. Full saturation with a bleach solution becomes inevitable given enough solution and time. Bleach and time should render bloodborne pathogens inert, if these germs exist exist at all in your contaminated area or towels. If the blood remains moist and time does got favor letting the blood dry out, another approach allows for adding bleach and water with a mop. Let it dwell. Don't contaminate your mop bucket with a soiled mop head. Keep your solution clean. You may keep your solution in a waste basket, and use your mop bucket to strain out the soiled solution. Again, to remove this mess your solution. Try to keep your mop bucket's soiled solution at a low level. Slowly mop, strain, and add solution to the floor as needed. Slowly lift your mop to the bucket’s wringer, squeeze out the offending solution very gently, and continue mopping until the majority of blood resides in the bucket. Pour the bloody solution into a toilet and flush. By this time your mop head’s contamination requires extensive decontamination if not safe disposal. If you have a working toilet, slowly, gently rinse your mop head and flush often. Detergent included in your toilet bowl creates helps break up blood on the mop. Just let it stay in the solution for a while and clean itself. By using the same method in a mop bucket, you can still pour your solution down the toilet. By using bleach poured into a toilet and letting the mop head dwell, the mop head becomes rinsed and bleached enough to dry somewhere safe and out of your way.
Place large towels in a strong solution of bleach and water. Wring most of this solution from the towel. Place the towel open and flat on the floor about six inches from the soiled area. Sometimes by placing a large push broom in the center of the towel. Pressing downward on the broom and pushing back and forth on the soiled areas agitates the soiling blood below. The broom’s plastic bristles should hold the towel in place. Decontaminating this towel in a clean, disinfected toilet will work quickly if you choose to repeat this technique. Before long your comfort level begins to allow you to clean like any other floor. Similar techniques work on other blood contaminated surfaces. If cleaning wood furniture, try to it outdoors in the Sun. Nothing disinfects as well as the Sun. During blood cleanup from a nice wood floor or other valuable wood surface, Try using Murphy’s wood soap. Murphy's works best with some dwell time. Also, a nice wax application after cleaning is useful. Dwell time on wood and other surfaces pays for itself in saved labor. It's important not to allow fluids to alter the surface of the material cleaned, though. For the sake of caution, you may want to test the Murphy’s with water on unstained wood furnishings floor. Error on the side of caution. A bleach, water, and soap solution for scrubbing blood on plywood floors works when done conservatively. Never pour water onto a plywood floor or Mobile Home’s floor. Spray it with a mist until full saturation of the blood occurs. Then scrubbing and removing the blood will follow steps like those mentioned above. Whenever cleaning a blood stained floor does not remove blood stains, consider sealing stained areas once completing thorough cleaning. No problems from odor should occur if the floor scrubbing and thorough rinsing preceded a thorough decontamination. If a novice, perhaps suicide cleanup requirements lead to blood cleanup. Then you can disinfect with bleach and water as in other death cleanup work. Beware, let the wood thoroughly dry out and then sand it smooth. Apply Zennesser or Kilz water based or oil based sealers to the once soiled area. Any remaining odor issues should no longer exist. Anytime that restoration of a Earp floor follows a death scene cleanup, let the floor remain uncovered by carpet or other floor coverings. You will want to ensure no odors recur.
