Crime Scene Cleanup explained
Crime Scene Cleanup in Fulton County: What It Is and What It Covers
Crime scene cleanup, also called forensic cleaning or trauma scene cleanup, is the removal of blood, body fluids, tissue and contaminated materials after a violent crime, then disinfection and odor removal so the property is safe to use again.
It starts where the investigation ends. Police, detectives and the medical examiner or coroner collect evidence and remove the deceased, but they do not clean. The scene is released to the property owner, the family or the landlord, and the cleanup becomes their responsibility.
A forensic clean up crew, forensic cleaners and crime scene cleaners all treat blood as infectious, down to every drop. The team tracks its spread and removes materials that disinfection cannot save. All surfaces are treated and cleaned, while hazardous items are taken away in line with medical waste rules. This end-to-end process is a form of biohazard remediation.
- Tissue, bodily fluids and blood across any surface
- Residue from fingerprint powder, chemicals and luminol
- Saturated drywall, furniture, carpet and underlying pad
- Smells affecting vents, indoor air and soft materials

First steps
First Steps After Crime Scene Release in Fulton County

Call (888) 440-9227- Confirm the release. Ask the detective or the investigating officer to confirm the scene is released to you.

Step by step
Crime Scene Cleaning Process Steps Across Greater Atlanta
Although no two crime scenes are alike, each remediation process uses one safe sequence. The crime scene cleanup process moves in that order from an initial walk-through through the final inspection.
Crime Scene Assessment
Technicians inspect and photograph the scene alongside you or your representative, then get agreement on the scope before beginning.
Containment and Protective Gear
The affected area is sealed with plastic sheeting and negative air, and technicians wear full personal protective equipment.
Removal of Contaminated Materials
Saturated drywall, carpeting, padding, mattresses and furnishings are removed, placed in bags and sealed for medical waste disposal.
Crime Scene Cleaning and Disinfection
After cleaning each surface, technicians apply a hospital-grade, EPA-registered disinfectant and observe its complete contact time.
Odor Removal and Air Quality
Air scrubbers, hydroxyl generators or ozone treat odor at the source, and HVAC vents are checked.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
Paperwork follows each closed container through delivery to a permitted facility for medical waste.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
Technicians can check surfaces with ATP testing, and you receive claim records and photographs.
Restoration After Crime Scene Cleanup
A contractor you choose or your insurer's vendor can replace any drywall and floors removed during cleaning.

Health and safety
Health Risks of DIY Crime Scene Cleaning
Blood and bodily fluids may pose serious health risks. Visible contamination is usually only part of what is present.
Contaminated Materials Left Behind
Blood can enter grout, flow beneath baseboards and pass through carpet to padding and subfloor. Odor and bacteria may return when hidden material remains after a surface wipe.
Bloodborne Pathogens at Crime Scenes
Blood can contain HIV, hepatitis C and hepatitis B. Even if blood seems dry, the CDC says hepatitis B may live on a surface for at least seven days.
Biohazard Waste Disposal in Georgia
Soaked materials are regulated medical waste. An approved facility must treat them because they cannot be placed with household waste or in a dumpster.
Can you clean it yourself? Wear gloves and apply an EPA-registered disinfectant when fresh blood is limited to a few drops on any hard, non-porous surface. If blood touches fabric, wood, carpet or drywall, or spreads beyond visible edges, you need professional cleanup.

Timeline
How Long Does Crime Scene Cleanup Take in Fulton County?
Most crime scene cleanups are completed on site in one to three days. One day may be enough for a recent, small scene. Heavy cleanup that includes structural removal may require two to five days.

|---|---|

| Typical scene, one to two rooms | Often one to three days |
| Extensive scene requiring subfloor removal or several rooms | Often two to five days |
Odor and air
Improving Air Quality With Crime Scene Odor Removal in Georgia
Odor removal begins by taking away its source. If fragrance is sprayed over tissue or blood, the smell is hidden for only a few days.
The cleanup team can address the air after taking out contaminated materials. HEPA air scrubbers capture particles, while hydroxyl generators are safe to operate with people in the space. For persistent odor, ozone treatment can be used in vacant rooms. Thermal fogging reaches fabrics and cavities inside walls, and checking HVAC ducts keeps smell from traveling to other rooms.
