3. Make it safe again

Hard surfaces get a thorough disinfection, and the room is treated for odor so it no longer carries traces of what happened.

Questions Families Ask About Homicide Cleanup in Downtown, Fort Lauderdale, FL

Can homicide cleaners work in a rental or apartment?

Yes. Landlords and property managers often get cleanup done to make a unit safe for the next tenant. Crews contain the work so other units are not affected. Lease terms decide who pays.

How to clean a murder scene?

It should be left to professionals. Blood and body fluids carry bloodborne pathogens and often soak deeper than they look. A crew contains the area, removes contaminated materials, disinfects and treats odor.

Who cleans up after a homicide?

Not the police or the medical examiner. They investigate and release the scene. Cleanup is a separate job for professional biohazard crews, hired by the property owner, a family member or a landlord.

Does homeowners insurance cover homicide cleanup?

Many homeowners policies cover crime or death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain cases. Renters policies often cover cleanup but not the building. Call your insurer before work starts and ask what applies.

What does homicide cleaning include?

It includes blood cleanup, removal of soaked carpet, padding and drywall, disinfection, handling of debris and residue, and odor removal. Crews also sort personal property and document the work.

Will the smell go away?

Yes, when the source is removed. Odor often comes from materials fluids soaked into, so crews take those out, then clean and deodorize the space. The air is filtered to finish the job.
