Blood isn’t just messy and unsightly; it’s also a health hazard. If you come into direct contact with blood, it can expose you to HIV, hepatitis, the flu and other dangerous pathogens.

If you have experienced an accident, crime, or other traumatic situation on your property, contact a blood and biological waste cleaning service as soon as possible. Call Exit!

All of our biohazardous waste is professionally gathered, contained properly, removed and destroyed by a Medical Waste handler. The Property where the blood or other biological materials were, is cleaned or removed and the area disinfected and inspected to ensure all issues have been removed.

As far as the cost, it is hard to say. Each situation is different and filled with thousands of variables that need to be determined and understood.

The short answer is no. I'm not saying that you cant actually clean it, Im saying you cant leagally charge someone to clean it without proper training. Why? Because it's dangerous for you and others. 

A: OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogen Standards; 29CFR1910.1030, states that employees must be provided with information and training prior to dealing with blood or other potentially infectious material (OPIM), including:

• The Bloodborne Pathogen Standard
• Epidemiology, symptoms and transmission of bloodborne diseases
•  Your facility’s exposure control plan (most business are required to have one)
• PPE (personal protective equipment) provided at no cost by the business
• Information on the Hepatitis B vaccine and information on how to receive it
• Provide a method to safely remove and/or store biohazardous waste

Only if your business complies with these actions and 29CFR1910.1030, can you allow an employee to cleanup a trauma scene. It requires a great deal of training and experience to rid the area of any potentially dangerous issues as well as any source of biological material that may have migrated to other areas of the property. It may have run under walls, through floors, into the subfloor or concrete. it will often look like a small area to clean but often has found its way under the tiles, through the subfloor and into areas not imagined where it's a lot more material than originally thought. If not cleaned, this will decay, smell and cause more problems to an already hard situation. That's why you call EXIT.

A: Only if you know that they comply with OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogen Standard, 29CFR1910.1030 (see above). You are ultimately responsible for whom you choose to clean up a biohazardous situation and most maid services or general janitorial or cleaning services will not do this kind of cleanup or even want to show up. It's not something they are prepaired for, trained for or even can handle. That's why Exit Cleanup is here.

Yes, we can clean up any vehicle from any crime or accident involving blood or biological hazardous materials. Just like any property, we can clean it. Automotive and body shops are not trained to clean up this biohazardous waste and what looks very simple to clean may not be. Don't be fooled, it's often a very complex cleanup. Blood and various materials have a way of getting in and around a vehicle. Simple things such as towing the vehicle can easily cause things to migrate to other areas and if not inspected and cleaned, they will remain and cause problems. The vehicle can't be handled or sold without professional clean up. Let us help you restore things back to normal. As complex as it seems, we can handle it.

Crime scene cleanup is inherently dangerous work and not for the faint of heart. Professional cleaners must undergo rigorous training.
