Crime and Trauma
Animals left "to fend for themselves," abandoned, starving, and even developing serious illnesses, end up dying from malnutrition or weakened by the diseases they contract.
Scenarios where decomposing animal carcasses are found are considered a public health risk, requiring specialized cleaning and disinfection, as the carcass releases blood and other bodily fluids from the decomposition of the animal's body.
As with human decomposition, animal decomposition is also characterized by the release of bodily fluids and the presence of a very characteristic odor.
DEATH
FRESH
The brain and internal organs begin to shut down. Without brain activity, the body's average temperature drops, matching that of the environment.
SWELLING
Various gases are produced that fill the body, reaching a stage where the body swells completely, eventually expelling bodily fluids.
ACTIVE DECOMPOSITION
Bacteria and insects will take over the body, beginning to deteriorate it. It's the odor that begins to emerge from the body's decomposition that attracts the insects.
PUTREFACTION
At this stage, the organs rot, starting with the intestines. The odor intensifies, attracting even more insects, which consume the animal's body.
SKELETONIZATION
At this stage, the bones and some cartilage remain in the body. The bones change color, becoming white, until they break.
We eliminate all biological risks on site, ensuring your safety and removing all organic traces.
We treat all odors arising from biological decomposition, regardless of their intensity, purifying the entire air.
We use certified biocides to eliminate various insects associated with decomposition, such as larvae and flies.
We remove, package, transport and dispose of all hazardous waste, assuming full legal responsibility.
Several studies and analyses carried out by international entities confirm that contact with corpses, whether human or animal, presents potential risks to human health, associated with the various pathogenic microorganisms (viruses, bacteria and fungi) present in corpses and even in the places where decomposition occurred.
A space where decomposition has occurred is always a contaminated place and poses a high risk to public health, which before being used again must be professionally cleaned and disinfected by a specialized and certified company such as DEATHCLEAN®.
A decomposing body produces a variety of gases and organic compounds, many of which are harmful to human health and can even cause a variety of dangerous respiratory tract infections. While not all gases produce odors, several have recognizable and unpleasant odors, such as putrescine and cadaverine, which smell like rotting flesh; skatole, which has a strong fecal odor; and hydrogen sulfide, which smells like rotten eggs.
Some compounds released by decomposing bodies are known as Volatile Organic Compounds – VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), which are very toxic and quite dangerous substances, with a characteristic smell, and exposure to them for very long periods is very harmful.
You should not enter a place where a decomposing body has been, even if it was the body of an animal, as you will certainly become contaminated by inhaling all the gases and organic compounds still present, even after the corpse has been removed.
The site must be intervened by DEATHCLEAN® , to ensure safety and health, removing all gases and existing contamination.
No, they cannot. Only specialized companies that have obtained technical accreditation in the area of biological risk, such as DEATHCLEAN® , the only company in Portugal that has such legal qualifications, is that they can legally carry out the cleaning of places where a death occurred, classified as biological risk, a danger to public health.
Domestic cleaning companies, pest control companies, industrial cleaning companies, or other non-specialized entities without any type of certified qualifications cannot clean biological risk areas where a death has occurred.
DEATHCLEAN® is a national company founded in 2008, creating the first specialized and certified service for cleaning and disinfecting death sites, where bodies sometimes decompose. We have all the technical capabilities, products, and specific equipment necessary to successfully eliminate all contamination and unpleasant odors present at the site. Eliminating all the unpleasant odors resulting from the biological decomposition of a body is only possible with specialized companies and appropriate technical training.

Animals left "to fend for themselves," abandoned, starving, and even developing serious illnesses, end up dying from malnutrition or weakened by the diseases they contract.
Scenarios where decomposing animal carcasses are found are considered a public health risk, requiring specialized cleaning and disinfection, as the carcass releases blood and other bodily fluids from the decomposition of the animal's body.
These scenarios, in addition to biological residue from decomposition, sometimes contain animal feces and urine, considered biohazardous sites, where several dangerous pathogens can transmit dangerous diseases and infections to humans. The most common cases of decomposition are those of domestic animals, such as dogs and cats, or pests, such as pigeons and rats.
THE DEATHCLEAN® has been on the market since 2008, with specialized training and certification to assist in the cleaning and disinfection of cases considered to be of public health concern, which include places where decomposing animal carcasses have been found.

As with human decomposition, animal decomposition is also characterized by the release of bodily fluids and the presence of a very characteristic odor.
During decomposition, the body rots from the inside out. Most organs are devoid of microorganisms when alive; however, shortly after death, the immune system ceases to function, allowing them to proliferate freely throughout the body.
A site where an animal has died, with decomposing animal carcasses releasing bodily fluids, is considered a biologically contaminated space. The goal is to reduce risk, and this risk can only be reduced by properly cleaning and disinfecting blood and other bodily fluids, eliminating all organic matter, and making the site safe.
One of the important parts of cleaning a place where a decomposing body has been is removing the odor, a arduous task that is very difficult to perform even by those who do not have training or are not specialists in the area of odor control, as it is such a characteristic and intense odor that it spreads to all areas, completely contaminating the place where the death occurred.
Handling and disposing of contaminated organic matter requires appropriate techniques, machinery, and products. Only those who specialize in biological risk management have the knowledge to clean and disinfect a site where a death has occurred, DEATHCLEAN® the only company holding international certification in the area of biological risk, environmental microbiology and odor control and elimination.

Does exposure to a decomposing corpse cause infection?
Several studies and analyses carried out by international entities confirm that contact with corpses, whether human or animal, presents potential risks to human health, associated with the various pathogenic microorganisms (viruses, bacteria and fungi) present in corpses and even in the places where decomposition occurred.
A space where decomposition has occurred is always a contaminated place and poses a high risk to public health, which before being used again must be professionally cleaned and disinfected by a specialized and certified company such as DEATHCLEAN®.
What gases are released during cadaveric decomposition?
A decomposing body produces a variety of gases and organic compounds, many of which are harmful to human health and can even cause a variety of dangerous respiratory tract infections. While not all gases produce odors, several have recognizable and unpleasant odors, such as putrescine and cadaverine, which smell like rotting flesh; skatole, which has a strong fecal odor; and hydrogen sulfide, which smells like rotten eggs.
Some compounds released by decomposing bodies are known as Volatile Organic Compounds – VOCs (VOCs, in the English acronym), which are very toxic and quite dangerous substances, having a characteristic smell, and exposure to them for very long periods is very harmful.
You should not enter a place where a decomposing body has been, even if it was the body of an animal, as you will certainly become contaminated by inhaling all the gases and organic compounds still present, even after the corpse has been removed.

Can house cleaning companies clean these places?
No, they cannot. Only specialized companies that have obtained technical accreditation in the area of biological risk, such as DEATHCLEAN®, the only company in Portugal that has such legal qualifications, is that they can legally carry out the cleaning of places where a death occurred, classified as biological risk, a danger to public health.
