In some cases, an individual might pass away alone or in isolation. This can especially be true for the elderly. Sometimes, it can be a very long time before anyone discovers the body, in which case this in itself is a traumatic experience. Coupled with the health risk the scene poses, professional yet compassionate assistance is required.
Here are some important things to keep in mind in the event of stumbling on an unattended death scene after the local authorities have completed their investigation and cleared the scene:
Don’t Attempt Cleaning the Scene Yourself
First and foremost, the area is now contaminated and poses a health risk. Furthermore, you probably won’t know what you are doing or where to start, not to mention the traumatic effect the experience of discovering a dead person will surely have on a person, especially when a loved one is involved.
Proper disposal of hazardous and contaminated items will also be required, something which one can only leave in the hands of experienced professionals.
Household Products Will Not Do
Household cleaning products are not equipped to properly disinfect decomposition or biohazard waste. Kleen Slate Services’ technicians specialise in thorough disinfection and decomposition cleanup and understand exactly what needs to be done based on unique circumstances.
Use a Trustworthy Source
Ask around, read online reviews or get advice from a professional consultant. Remember, the smell from decomposition will not easily go away and needs to be handled with special products and equipment. One of the biggest mistakes people make is hiring unqualified cleaning services.
