Blood and bodily fluids may carry pathogens such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV. According to the CDC, even dried blood can pose infection risks under certain conditions.

Professional blood cleanup involves:

  • PPE and containment to protect technicians and residents
  • Use of hospital-grade disinfectants
  • Safe removal and disposal in compliance with EPA and NY State regulations
  • Odor neutralization to restore safe, livable conditions

Attempting to clean blood without professional help risks exposure, improper cleaning, and voiding insurance claims. Contact PuroClean of Poughkeepsie for professional biohazard services.

Situations Requiring Professional Blood Cleanup

  • Trauma or crime scenes
  • Unattended deaths (after-death cleanup)
  • Suicides or severe accidents in homes or businesses
  • Injury-related incidents resulting in significant blood loss

Hudson Valley’s older homes and humid environment can also increase the risk of odor retention and structural seepage if not addressed immediately.
