Professional Biohazard Cleaning Services Near You

Biohazard cleanup means sanitizing and deodorizing properties affected by trauma—accidents, death, blood/bodily fluids, illicit drugs like fentanyl, Xylazine, methamphetamine or hazardous spills. In Tucson, the state does not cover cleanup after a crime or unattended death. Once law enforcement finishes gathering evidence, the property owner is responsible for hiring a licensed biohazard cleanup team. Our trained crews arrive only after investigators have released the site.

PuroClean Offers Locally-Tailored Biohazard Cleanup Services

Customized for Tucson and surrounding communities, including Flowing Wells, Casas Adobes, Oro Valley, Catalina Foothills, and Marana. Services most relevant locally include:

  • Unattended Death/Trauma Cleanup – Many older ranch-style homes in Tucson’s core pose structural and biological challenges for unattended death scenes.
  • Blood & Bodily Fluid Remediation – Ensuring safe removal in historic adobe homes where porous materials absorb contaminants.
  • Sewage Backup Cleanup & Sanitation – Common during monsoon flash floods, especially for low-lying Flowing Wells and Casas Adobes areas.
  • Virus Decontamination & RapidDefense™ Sanitization – Ideal for public spaces at University of Arizona, Oro Valley Marketplace, or HOA clubhouse facilities.

This scope reflects local environmental triggers—flash floods, aging infrastructure, monsoon humidity—and property types across our service areas.

Biohazard Cleanup Process:

  1. Our process begins with a plan. We thoroughly assess the contamination and create a safe and effective biohazard remediation plan. 
  2. All potentially infectious materials are carefully removed from the site. Hazardous medical waste is handled in compliance with OSHA regulations, appropriately processed, and sent to a licensed hazardous medical waste incinerator. 
  3. Porous materials such as carpet and bedding are removed in accordance with industry standards and government regulations. All other non-hazardous affected materials that are either removed or professionally decontaminated and sanitized. 
  4. Remaining materials such as drywall and flooring may be sealed, usually for cosmetic reasons, to cover any stains from the incident.

Planning & Organization

To begin, we provide a full assessment of the incident and the area(s) affected. We will determine the level of containment needed and inform you of the plan of action. 

Safety as a Priority

It is key to perform biohazard removal with special attention to safety and industry and OSHA standards. Our trained technicians wear special personal protective equipment to keep themselves safe. They also contain the area, taking the appropriate steps to keep you and your family or employees safe as well. 

Medical Waste Removal

Hazardous medical waste, such as spinal fluid, peritoneal fluid, amniotic fluid, and other bodily fluids, is handled following OSHA regulations. It’s then sent to a licensed hazardous medical waste incinerator.

Thorough Cleanup & Decontamination

All affected porous material will be removed in accordance with industry standards and state regulations. All other infectious material will be safely discarded as well.  For non-porous surfaces, we will dry the affected area before applying a disinfectant. After allowing this to soak, we scrub, repeating the process to disinfect the space.

Deodorization

Typically, once the biohazard is cleaned and the area sanitized, odors dissipate. However, our crew will determine whether further deodorization is necessary. If so, we use hydroxyls or ozone to ensure the odor is gone.
