What counts as a biohazard? Anything that can spread disease, such as blood, tissue, bodily fluids, human waste, raw sewage, sharps and some animal waste. In CARE, you can get residential and commercial biohazard cleanup that removes it safely and completely, with help from CARE Biohazard Cleanup Help.
Teams do the heavy lifting: removing carpet, padding and drywall that cannot be cleaned, bagging regulated waste, disinfecting hard surfaces and treating odor at the source. The service area runs from CARE to Patterson Place, Butchers Hill and Baltimore city.
Homes in Baltimore have a median build year of 1947, older than most homes across Maryland. Older carpet, wood subfloors and trim take in fluids deeply, so more material may need removal. The census figure for older adults living alone in Baltimore is 42%, above the Maryland average. When someone lives alone, a death can go unnoticed for days, and unattended death cleanup follows.
The rule on the wall of every serious crew is to treat all blood and bodily fluids as infectious. Under OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), cleanup technicians use PPE and strict handling steps so germs stay out of the rest of the home and off the people doing the work.
Hard surfaces get deep cleaning and a hospital-grade disinfectant from the EPA-registered list. Porous materials such as carpet, padding, mattresses and drywall that hold contamination are cut out and removed, because they cannot be made safe by wiping.
