Crime Scene Cleanup explained
Crime Scene Cleanup in Pima County: What It Is and What It Covers
Forensic cleaning, trauma scene cleanup and crime scene cleanup all describe the same work: removing tissue, blood, contaminated materials and body fluids following a violent crime. The property can safely be used again after odor treatment and disinfection.
It starts where the investigation ends. Police, detectives and the medical examiner collect evidence and remove the deceased, but they do not clean. The scene is released to the property owner, the family or the landlord, and the cleanup becomes their responsibility.
A forensic clean up crew, forensic cleaners and crime scene cleaners all treat blood as infectious, down to every drop. The team tracks its spread and removes materials that disinfection cannot save. All surfaces are treated and cleaned, while hazardous items are taken away in line with medical waste rules. This end-to-end process is a form of biohazard remediation.
- Any surface with bodily fluids, blood or tissue
- Luminol, fingerprint dust and chemical residue
- Soaked carpet, pad, drywall and furniture
- Smells affecting vents, indoor air and soft materials

First steps
First Steps After Crime Scene Release in Pima County

Call (888) 351-0904- Confirm the release. Have the investigating officer or detective verify that you may take control of the scene.
- Keep away from the affected area. Block access for children and pets, leave the door closed, and stay clear of blood.

Step by step
How the Crime Scene Cleaning Process Works in Greater Tucson
Every crime scene is different, but the crime scene cleanup process, often called the remediation process, follows the same safe order through the entire process, from the first walk-through to the final inspection.
Crime Scene Assessment
Technicians walk the scene with you or your representative, photograph it and agree the scope before work starts.
Containment and Protective Gear
Technicians put on full personal protective equipment, then contain the affected area using plastic sheeting and negative air.
Removal of Contaminated Materials
Soaked carpet, pad, drywall, mattresses and furniture are cut out, bagged and sealed as medical waste.
Crime Scene Cleaning and Disinfection
Every surface is cleaned, then treated with EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectant for the full contact time.
Odor Removal and Air Quality
Technicians inspect HVAC vents and target the odor source using ozone, hydroxyl generators or air scrubbers.
Biohazard Waste Disposal
Each sealed container is followed through delivery by paperwork and taken to an authorized medical waste treatment site.
Final Inspection and ATP Testing
Surfaces can be checked with ATP testing, and you get photos and records for your insurance claim.
Restoration After Crime Scene Cleanup
Removed flooring and drywall can then be replaced by your contractor or your insurer's vendor.

Health and safety
Crime Scene Health Risks: Why Crime Scene Cleaning Is Not a DIY Job
Serious health risks can come from blood and bodily fluids, including contamination beyond what you are able to see.
Bloodborne Pathogens at Crime Scenes
HIV and the hepatitis B and C viruses may be carried in blood. According to the CDC, hepatitis B remains viable on surfaces for at least seven days, including when blood appears dry.
Contaminated Materials Left Behind
Blood runs under baseboards, soaks through carpet into the pad and subfloor, and settles into grout. Surface cleaning leaves it there, where odor and bacteria come back.
The Emotional Toll on Families
You may find it deeply difficult to clean where someone close to you was harmed. That burden alone leads many families to hire professional crime scene cleaners.
Can you clean it yourself? For a few drops of blood that are fresh and limited to a non-porous hard surface, use gloves plus an EPA-registered disinfectant. Anything that reached fabric, carpet, wood or drywall, or any amount you cannot see the edges of, needs professional cleanup.

Timeline
How Long Does Crime Scene Cleanup Take in Pima County?
Most crime scene cleanups are completed on site in one to three days. One day may be enough for a recent, small scene. Heavy cleanup that includes structural removal may require two to five days.
| Scene | Typical time on site |
|---|---|
| Light scene, one area | Often one to two days |
| A common scene across one to two rooms | Often one to three days |
| Several affected rooms or a subfloor removal | Often two to five days |
Odor and air
Improving Air Quality With Crime Scene Odor Removal in Arizona
Removing the source is the first step in odor removal. Fragrance sprayed onto blood or tissue merely covers the odor for a few days.
After the contaminated materials are gone, the cleanup team can use HEPA air scrubbers to capture particles, hydroxyl generators that are safe to run while people are present, and ozone treatment in empty rooms for stubborn odor. Thermal fogging reaches odor in fabrics and wall cavities, and HVAC ductwork is checked so smell does not travel to other rooms.
