Suicide scenes vary a lot depending on factors such as the location of death, how the victim chose to take his life, and how long the dead body remained unnoticed. These amongst others are reasons why the sort of crime scene cleaning services that are provided on suicide scenes can differ from one to the other. In some cases, some house fittings and furniture might be thrown out while for others, everything would be left intact. 

Whatever the case is, there are two certain processes that can not be skipped by anyone that claims to be rendering high-quality crime scene cleaning services. These are the Sanitization and Deodorization processes. 

The Sanitization Process

The Sanitization process envelops activities such as the removal of contaminated materials (i.e., everything that might have come in contact with the victim’s blood or body tissues) from the scene and the actual cleanup itself. 

When the suicide cleanup services are rendered by a professional crew, then you are likely to see them use industrial powered cleaners and chemical solutions in wiping down and thoroughly cleaning the scene. This process ensures two things amongst others; ridding the suicide scene of everything that might be considered a Bio-Hazard and thus dangerous to human lives and eliminating some of the smell of death that might be present on the scene.

The Deodorization Process

This process is normally carried out after the general cleanup is done. The aim is to eradicate all remaining smell from the death scene completely. The smell of death is usually a very pervasive one, and depending on the amount of time that might have passed before the death is discovered, the smell might have spread to all corners of the property. 

With the use of specially designed deodorizing equipment, a cleanup crew can reach to all corners of the property and remove all the offending smells. This equipment includes foggers, pump sprayers, hydroxyl generators, ozone generators, and others. The sort of equipment used and the techniques employed in removing the smell would depend on how widespread and deeply entrenched the smell is. 

These two above mentioned processes basically covers everything that constitutes the term “suicide cleanup services” and if done thoroughly and correctly would mean that the suicide scene and the entire property itself is completely remediated. This means that a highly qualified cleanup crew can restore a crime scene to its original splendor of being gory-free and habitable. 

In truth, suicides are harder on the family and loved ones left behind than the victim itself. It is thus better that you make it easier on yourself by making sure that a proper clean up job is done. A proper cleanup means that reminders of the ugly events are completely wiped out and that your health is in a safe condition. Only when this is done can you and the rest of the family then begin to heal from your loss.
