Safe Blood Removal: Why Biohazard Cleanup Is Not A DIY Project
Even if you’re someone who can handle the sight of blood, it’s still not safe to clean up if you don’t have the proper equipment or experience to do so. Not only can biohazard cleanup be harmful to your safety, but it can also be harmful to your mental health.
How Is Cleaning Up Blood Harmful To Your Safety?
There are many different dangers to keeping up blood yourself. Safe blood removal requires the expertise, skills, tools and equipment of a trained professional. And here’s why.
-
Bloodborne Pathogens
Bloodborne pathogens, which are infectious microorganisms found in human blood, can cause disease in humans if not properly handled. According to the CDC, these are three of the most common and dangerous bloodborne diseases found in blood:
- Hepatitis B (HPV)
- Hepatitis C (HCV)
- Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
-
Diluted Contaminants
Diluted contaminants from the blood is another major concern to trying to DIY biohazard cleanup. When you attempt to clean up blood on your own, you run the risk of spreading bloodborne contaminants around rather than removing them all together.

Ineffective Cleanup
A lot of times we think that a paper towel and some wet wipes will do the trick. However, when it comes to safe blood removal, it takes a lot more than store bought cleaners and thirty seconds of scrubbing the area to do the trick. Blood can leave lingering stains behind if not cleaned with the proper techniques and equipment.
How Is Cleaning Blood Harmful To Your Mental Health?
Depending on how close you are to the situation at hand, trying to remove blood yourself can be physically and emotionally taxing. Biohazard cleanup services can include:
- Accidents
- Suicides
- Homicides/Crime Scenes
- Animal Waste/Remains
Going through a bad accident or a violent crime – or seeing someone you know go through it – is a traumatic experience that often takes time to heal from. You want to hire someone who isn’t close to the situation, and who not only has the experience and tools to tackle such a task, but also has the sensibility and compassion needed in these situations.
