Crime Scene Cleaners Serving Sunset and Broward County
Forensic clean up is the term for cleaning after crimes where blood or other body fluids are present. The goal is a safe, odor-free space that the owner, tenant or family can use again.

- A final inspection of every treated area before the space is handed back

- Broken glass and contaminated debris handled as biohazardous waste
- Filtered air machines and air quality steps after the main work is done

Questions About Crime Scene Cleaning in Sunset, Fort Lauderdale, FL
Who cleans up crime scenes?
Crime scene cleaners do, also called forensic cleaners or biohazard remediation crews. Police and first responders do not clean. After law enforcement releases the scene, you, as the property owner, family member or estate, hire a crime scene cleanup company.
Can crime scene cleaners work at a business?
Often yes. The crew can close off one area, use barriers and plan around staff and customers. Tell the team about opening hours and entrances so the work causes as little disruption as possible.
Can I clean a crime scene myself?
It is not advised. Blood and body fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens, and fluids often soak deeper than they look. A professional crew has the gear, disinfectants and waste handling to do it safely.
Can a landlord or property manager hire a cleanup company?
Yes. Owners and managers often book crime scene cleanup to make a unit safe for the next tenant. Lease terms and local law decide who pays, and an attorney or tenant rights group can explain the details.
How long does it take to clear a crime scene?
That is up to law enforcement and the case, and it can vary. Cleanup comes after the release. The length of the cleanup itself depends on the size of the scene and how far fluids spread.
Is dried blood still dangerous?
Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and scraping or wiping it can release particles. It should be handled in protective gear and disinfected, which is why crews treat old stains as seriously as fresh ones.
