I'm Eddie Evans and I have cleaned hundreds of
death and trauma scenes. Homicides, suicides, unattended deaths,
and other biohazardous environments are among my business focus.
My cleaning experience includes military trauma cleanup, crime
scene cleanup, and accidental death cleanup.
My presence requires a business-like attitude. I maintain compassionate and discreet relationship as well. I do my best to help reduce anxiety created by horrific created by a death scene.
Because I've completed hundreds of death cleanup tasks alone, I've cleaned hundreds of biohazard related jobs in the last nine years. Since I own my own company, , you can trust that I make every effort to do the job right the first time and for the best price.

I have no middle-man to pay; I have no crime scene cleanup practitioners to pay; I have no workman's compensation to pay, and I have none of the other expenses that come with employees. What I know about biohazard, blood, death, and suicide cleanup I've learned by study, practice, and hands-on experience. See some of my qualifications below. Because I own Biosafe, he has a vested interest in
the name "Biosafe." You can trust that you will receive
the best biohazard cleanup service from Eddie. Only a business owner invests his best when it comes to performing his best for clients in need.
Again, Biosafe has no middle-man,
no one else to share the risks and rewards of professional cleaning.
There are very few companies that can offer up their owner
as their solo biohazard cleaner. There are very few crime scene cleanup companies that can send
a professional cleaner with hands-on experience for cleaning hundreds of homicides, suicides, and unattended death scenes.

You will not find a more experienced death cleanup practitioner. My fees are fair and reasonable. What more can anyone ask for a biohazard cleanup, blood cleanup, death cleanup, or suicide cleanup service?
Visitors here will find a subject matter expert in matters of biohazard cleanup, blood cleanup, suicide cleanup, and unattended death with decomposition. Not only that, I have my telephone tied to my clothing or wear it like a tie. So expect to reach me at any time. When you do not reach me, leave a message. I'm near my telephone all the time. So I'm either working near loud machines, traveling between mountains or on an airplane, or otherwise unable to answer my telephone, like when I have soiled material on my gloves. I price my work reasonably.
A crime scene cleanup company will use trained cleaners with bloodborne pathogen certification. These professional cleaners make decisions and destroy bedding, carpeting, carpet padding, furniture, parts of walls and parts of floors. They reduce and remove biohazards from biowaste. Biowaste will be removed from solid waste. (See my blood cleanup web site for cleaning information if you must clean for yourself.)
Fees
Expect a biohazard cleanup company to accept homeowner's insurance, credit cards, and some companies will accept checks or cash.

You will find some companies ready to give a prices over the telephone. I do this myself. These companies have a duty to honor their given price. Still, some companies like to see what they're getting into before giving a price. This seems a little disingenuous. We know beforehand that most biohazard cleanup work will take less than a day. At least, it takes me less than a day for most death cleanup work. I'm an older man, too. I do have good, upper body strength. My ability to lift, move, cut, and perform other related death cleanup work remains very good. So, I don't see why a couple of young men or women would need any more time for cleanup work than I require. Disingenuous, yes.
Some biohazard cleanup companies seek a signed contract with property liens and more. These companies do business much like water damage and restoration companies; others use a signed contract with no liens; still others go by a verbal contract, which I'm inclined to do.
Contracts slow me down when written out. Besides, I use email from my prospective clients. In these emails they explain what the want done. They give their telephone quote price. I simply return an email with their comments and my affirmation to their terms. I believe this email becomes a contract in any case. It has an AOL time stamp on it, time and place of work to be performed, and all the rest that we find in written contracts. So, in this sense, I do use a contract.
Biohazard cleanup customers should always ask for an invoice reflecting all work completed. If it's a mere reflection of their contract, then so be it. Some customers want a "certification," which is fine with me. This form reflects my invoice in any case. What else might one say?.
A crime scene cleanup company should have business insurance. They should have at least one million dollars in general liability, and two million may be the standard.
Crime scene cleanup companies should include the following services:
- Dissect the majority of biowaste,
- Remove all biowaste related to the criminal act and death scene,
- Remove all solid waste related to the criminal act and death,
- Remove all or the majority of carpet and padding from crime scene room,
- Chemically disinfect non-porous surfaces,
- Chemically fog entire rooms or seal porous surfaces,
- Reduce or remove odors,
- Return to scene if asked to return,
- Foresee damage beyond eyesight,
Should Not:
TOP
- Be inquisitive about personal matters,
- Remove personal property not soiled by criminal act or death,
- Remove items from unaffected areas,
- Remove odor permitted property, unless so directed,
- Place solid waste in biohazard bags or boxes,
- Increase prices without valid, unforeseen damages,
- Offer a kickback for insurance manipulation,
- Refuse to accept your calls once off the premises,
- Refuse to return.
Much of what follows passes as redundant with a few exceptions. I write about these synonymous terms because there are difference in approaches and possible damage to property. Odor issues may take on different fragrances in some cases. I define biohazard as it finds its usage in the trauma cleanup industry.
Biohazard Cleanup
Biohazard defined: Biohazards consist of fluids and objects contaminated by web blood, moist blood, and dried flaky blood. Biohazards carry universally recognized bloodborne pathogens in spite of their origin.
Bloodborne Pathogens Defined: Bloodborne pathogens are germs; these germs carry DNA capable of contaminating human beings with Human Immune Deficiency (HIV), Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C, and other pathogens capable of causing sickness or death. Bloodborne pathogens are understood to exist in wet blood, moist blood, or dried flaky blood, regardless of blood's origins so long as it is human.
A biohazard cleanup takes place when cleaning activities remove blood and other potentially infectious materials (OPIM). A professional biohazard cleanup practitioner removes biohazard materials first; then the soiled area receives disinfection or cleaning by traditional scrub-and-rinse patterns any number of times. Once thoroughly cleaned if not scoured, the offending area receives additional disinfection.
A last step in biohazard cleanup usually suggests, if not requiring, a high-grade sealer. Zinnsser's B-I-N qualifies as such a sealer. Most important before placing a sealer on a once blood soiled area, it must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Any thing less may result in offensive odors in the future.
These practices ascribed to biohazard cleanup also apply to blood cleanup, death cleanup, and suicide cleanup. Other services may be required by these other blood soiled conditions.
Blood Cleanup
Blood cleanup by definition relates to biohazard cleanup. I mentioned above that biohazard cleanup as used here relates to wet, moist, or flaky blood. Biohazards include much more than blood and blood related materials, we know. So blood cleanup continues under its own name, its own phrase.
Blood cleanup also entails a definite consequence of homicide, suicide, unattended death with decomposition, and trauma cleanup. Each of these cleaning areas brings its own issues to blood cleanup. Further explanations of these sometimes subtle, sometimes stark differences continue below.
Death Cleanup
We know death cleanup includes blood cleanup, which usually qualifies as a form of biohazard cleanup. However, not all death cleanup exposes death cleanup practitioners to biohazards. This occurs when blood and its constituents no longer remain wet or moist. Dried flaky blood may not exist on such a death scene, which is rare, but happens.
An unattended death in summer months in certain conditions will have unique cleaning challenges. Although not biohazardous in all cases, an unattended death cleanup remains infectious for purposes of cleaning. OSHA's intentions were and are to label such environments as special circumstances for labors' safety in the work place. Hence, death cleanup's conditions may and do differ from blood and biohazard cleanup.
Suicide Cleanup
By far the most unique blood cleanup work follows a violent suicide. Homicides usually create the most horrific death scenes. These include suicides, a type of homicide. Only, suicides committed by violent means leave debris created by powerful weapons used next to the victim. Proximity of a weapon's use becomes the most direct cause of suicide cleanup's unique properties.
Suicide cleanup requires a greater search for debris; a greater cleaning field arises, and a greater decontamination field. Suicide requires a greater area requiring sealing and just about everything else related to a homicide cleanup. In fact, in my experience, I have never found a homicide cleanup requiring a fan's removal; suicide cleanup does lead to fan removal often enough. Think about the spread of biological debris from a shotgun or high powered firearm's discharge in a human mouth. Then think about this debris entering the spinning circumference of a ceiling or floor fan. It's quite a horrific cleanup task for most people, including suicide cleanup practitioners,
I intended this web page to serve as a blood cleanup directory. It's taking a little longer than planned to reach this goal.
