Answers About Cleaning Up After a Death in North Fort Myers, FL
What is considered an unattended death?
An unattended death is one where no one was with the person and they were not found for some time. It may be a few days or much longer. The term describes how the death was discovered, not the cause. Cleanup is needed because body fluids and odor may remain.
I found someone at home. What do I do first?
Call 911 and leave the room. Do not touch the person or anything around them. Once the authorities have finished and released the property, a cleanup team can take over. Be gentle with yourself. If you feel overwhelmed, 988 offers support by call or text.
What safety standards do cleanup crews follow?
Workers who handle blood and body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. It calls for protective equipment, safe handling and proper disposal. Ask any team what training it has and how it disposes of waste.
Do I need to be at the property during cleanup?
In many cases no. Ask the team how access and keys can be set up. A landlord, property manager or representative can often meet the crew. You can ask the team to set aside photos, papers and keepsakes for you.
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 should I ask a death cleanup company before hiring?
Ask how it contains the area, what protective gear it uses and how it disposes of waste. Ask what is included in the price and whether you get documentation for an insurer. Ask how it treats odor and what happens if a smell remains.
