PuroClean of Bradenton 
Illicit drug contamination has quietly become one of the most complex hazards facing property owners in Florida. From fentanyl residue found in short-term rentals to chemical contaminants left behind after drug-related incidents, the risks are serious — and the liability even more so.
While PuroClean of Bradenton has long provided trauma and biohazard cleanup, we’ve now reached an important milestone: we are officially certified and recognized as a qualified provider for illicit drug cleanup in Florida.
This further reinforces our role as one of Florida’s trusted high-risk remediation teams.
Why Professional Illicit Drug Cleanup Is Essential
Illicit drug contamination poses severe health risks to anyone exposed to affected properties. Whether from a clandestine lab, accidental drug exposure, or residue left behind after drug activity, these hazardous environments require specialized, professional cleanup.
At PuroClean of Bradenton, we provide certified illicit drugs cleanup services across Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte, Desoto, and Pinellas Counties. Our team follows strict safety protocols to decontaminate and restore affected homes, rental properties, vehicles, and commercial buildings, ensuring they are safe to reoccupy.
Drug exposure isn’t always dramatic. In reality, today’s hazards are more subtle:
- Fentanyl dust on hard surfaces
- Chemical residues absorbed into flooring
- Contaminated trash in apartment turnovers
- Exposure in vacation rentals
- Drug paraphernalia or residue left behind after an overdose or arrest
Each scenario carries potential health risks, liability concerns, and strict handling requirements.
Fentanyl is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine; as few as five to seven grains of salt can constitute a lethal dose for most people.
Once a site contains drug residue, it is no longer just a “cleaning” issue — it becomes a regulated biohazard.
Only certified providers should be performing the remediation. That’s exactly where our formal status matters.

1. Immediate Response & Site Assessment
When you call, our team responds quickly—day or night. We begin with a comprehensive site inspection to identify contamination levels, affected areas, and safety risks.
2. Containment & Safety Measures
To prevent cross-contamination, we establish secure work zones using specialized containment barriers and negative air filtration systems. Our technicians wear full protective equipment, including respirators and chemical-resistant suits.
3. Removal of Contaminated Materials
Carpets, furniture, drywall, and porous items that cannot be safely decontaminated are carefully removed and disposed of in accordance with EPA and OSHA guidelines.
4. Decontamination of Surfaces & Ventilation
Non-porous surfaces, HVAC systems, ductwork, and structural materials are cleaned with EPA-approved neutralizing agents designed specifically for illicit drugs residue.
5. Advanced Air Filtration & Odor Removal
We use industrial-grade HEPA filtration, ozone treatments, and hydroxyl generators to remove airborne contaminants and lingering odors from drug production or use.
6. Verification & Clearance Testing
After cleanup, we perform post-remediation testing with specialized equipment to confirm that illicit drug residues are no longer detectable. This ensures the property meets health and safety standards before re-occupancy.
