7-Part Forensic Restoration Protocol – PuroClean of Tacoma East

At PuroClean of Tacoma East, we follow a meticulous and state-compliant 7-step forensic restoration process for trauma, death, or biohazard scenes. Our goal is to restore the affected environment to a safe, sanitary, and respectful condition, while minimizing emotional burden for those impacted.

Our certified technicians use specialized equipment and protocols to ensure that all biological materials, hazardous residues, and contaminants are removed completely. Each step is documented and performed with full regulatory compliance.

Our 7-Part Forensic Restoration Protocol Includes:

• Site Assessment
• Pre-Biological Testing
• Pre-Conditioning
• Load Reduction & Removal
• Forensic Cleaning
• Post-Biological Testing
• Final Professional Disinfection

We use an ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) meter for both pre- and post-cleaning validation. ATP is a molecule found in all living and once-living cells. Its presence on a surface indicates organic residue, which is used to measure the effectiveness of our cleanup. Low ATP levels confirm that the scene is hygienically clean and safe for reoccupation.

PuroClean of Tacoma East treats every trauma cleanup with discretion, respect, and precision—delivering peace of mind when it matters most.

Myth 1 – Bleach is the best product for clean-up

• Poor choice.
• Extremely hazardous material.
• Unhealthy & unpleasant fumes
• Eye & respiratory irritation.
• Causes color loss in fabric & other materials.
• Corrodes metal.
• Ineffective in presence of organic material.
• PuroClean Northwest uses solutions not available in stores, they are precision formulas registered with the EPA for use in such conditions.

Myth 2 – The police will clean up the scene

• Not True.
• Clean-up is not the duty of law enforcement.
• Police are not a referral source for restoration companies.
• Clean-up requires specific training, materials, equipment, safety measures, and chemical solutions. PuroClean Northwest fulfills these requirements.

Myth 3 – OSHA certified companies are most qualified to provide biohazard services

• No individual or company is “OSHA Certified” 
• OSHA enforces federal regulation regarding safety of employees and work environments
• Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030)
• PuroClean Northwest is trained regarding bloodborne pathogens and all crew members are property inoculated. Laymen should not attempt clean-up.

Myth 4 – When cleaning blood, when the red is gone, so is the problem.

• Past procedure – only cleaned what was visible.
• Invisible bacteria and other potentially harmful substances must be considered.
• Seepage and penetration
• PuroClean Northwest has a 7-part process that includes load removal, then forensic cleaning, then professional disinfection. We prove thoroughness by ATP testing (swab and meter).

Myth 5 – a home cleaning or janitorial company can do the work.

• Do not have proper training and knowledge to protect themselves and others.
• Do not have proper equipment, tools, or products.
• Usually unaware of bio-contaminate removal and disposal regulations.
• PuroClean Northwest has training based on science and backed by experience. https://biosheenservices.com/
• The Crime Scene / Biohazard clean-up industry is totally unregulated. It is a buyer’s beware market. Don’t do it yourself, and qualify the contractor you choose.

Our team is expert in handling these assignments. We have done all of these types of trauma scene many times. Our processes, chemistry, equipment, and training are second to none. 

Blood Biohazard required great empathy and sensitivity, as well as technical skill.

Our team is trained in this highly technical and dangerous work. Safety is always the prime directive. The individual wears PPE gowns, headgear with ventilation, gloves, calf-height booties.

Insurance: Our experience is that blood biohazard losses are generally covered by homeowner’s insurance. We recommend contacting your agent to inquire.
