When a loved one passes away in a home or apartment and the body is not discovered immediately, the scene requires specialized cleaning beyond what household products can handle. In Detroit, unattended death cleanup involves biological fluids, odors, and contaminants that pose health risks. Our team follows strict professional protocols to restore the property safely and respectfully.
Why Detroit homeowners trust Detroit Unattended Death Cleanup
Homeowners in Detroit rely on us because we understand the emotional weight of an unattended death. We arrive with proper training and equipment, not just mops and bleach. Every job begins with a thorough assessment of the scene, then we set up containment to prevent cross-contamination. We never cut corners on safety, and we work discreetly, knowing that neighbors and family members are already stressed. Our process is methodical: we remove visible biohazards, treat all affected surfaces, and deodorize the air and materials. We also handle proper disposal of waste in accordance with local and federal regulations, so you don’t have to worry about what happens next.
The brands we service in Detroit
We use only proven, professional-grade products that meet the demands of unattended death cleanup. For disinfection, we rely on Sporicidin, Microban, Decon, and Bioesque – these are hospital-grade disinfectants that kill bloodborne pathogens and viruses. For odor removal, we apply Pro’s Choice and RGF Environmental products. When moisture or deep cleaning is needed, we use Steamaster and Dri-Eaz equipment to dry affected areas and prevent mold growth. Alpine Industries and Odorox ozone generators help neutralize lingering smells that can settle into porous materials like wood and drywall. Every product we use is EPA-registered and chosen for its effectiveness on biological contaminants.
Professional equipment & materials we use
Our equipment is designed for the specific hazards of unattended death cleanup. We set up HEPA-filtered negative air machines to pull contaminated air out of the room and filter it before releasing it outside. For stubborn odors, we run industrial-grade ozone generators and thermal foggers that penetrate deep into fabrics and wall cavities. Electrostatic sprayers and chemical-resistant sprayers allow us to apply disinfectants evenly over large surfaces without missing spots. Our crew wears full personal protective equipment (PPE) suits, N95 respirators, and full-face respirators with organic vapor cartridges to protect against airborne pathogens and chemical fumes. We use biohazard sharps containers and red biohazard waste bags for all contaminated materials, which are then taken to a licensed biohazard waste disposal incinerator. We also use absorbent granular materials, disposable absorbent cloths, and plastic sheeting to contain the work area and soak up fluids safely.
The standards and safety codes we work to
Every step of our cleanup follows strict industry standards. We comply with the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) to protect our workers and your family from exposure. All disinfectants we use are EPA-registered and applied according to label directions. Our respirators are NIOSH-certified and we follow CDC disinfection guidelines for proper contact times. We also adhere to the IICRC S540 Standard for Trauma and Crime Scene Cleanup, which sets the benchmark for procedures and documentation. For chemical safety, we reference NFPA 704 hazard labeling and follow DOT hazardous materials regulations (49 CFR) when transporting waste. We use antimicrobial cleaners that meet ASTM E2362 standards, and our eye protection meets ANSI Z87.1. Every job is documented so that property owners, law enforcement, and insurance companies have a clear record of what was done.
