WHO CAN CLEAN UP CRIME SCENES?
Authorities, fire departments, and funeral homes, despite being involved in the process, do not clean up blood-soaked areas. According to Portuguese law, only companies with specialized training in biological risk management can clean these areas, with DEATHCLEAN® The pioneering entity and the only one in Portugal to legalize and specialize in this type of service. Blood is a hazardous infectious waste, so its packaging and disposal are based on very strict legal regulations, with associated fines for those who fail to comply.
THE DEATHCLEAN® has specialized and certified to ensure the correct cleaning and disinfection of crime scenes, and is currently the only company in Portugal with expertise in the area of biological risk, assuming full responsibility for all hazardous waste, complying with all current legal parameters.
WHY SHOULDN'T FAMILY MEMBERS CLEAN?
For psychological reasons, due to the trauma involved and inherent in the entire event, and the exposure to the risks involved in cleaning up blood and other traces. Despite being family blood, it can transmit various diseases and infections.
The cleaning of a crime scene, a place where a violent death occurred, must be carried out exclusively by psychologically prepared technicians who have received professional training in the area, who have full knowledge of how to properly remove all traces of the traumatic event and all bloodborne pathogens that may be present.
CAN I DEVELOP POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS FROM THIS TYPE OF CLEANING?
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) consists of intense and unpleasant dysfunctional reactions that begin after an extremely traumatic event. Cleaning a crime scene is an extremely traumatic event, so even if cleaning a place where a loved one died seems feasible, don't do it; you may develop this disorder. Besides weakening your psychological well-being, other difficulties arise during cleaning that you won't be able to resolve, putting other loved ones in contact with traces of the death, also harming them psychologically.
Several studies have shown that family members who clean the places where their loved ones died, contaminated with various biological traces of death, are 75% more likely to commit suicide!

LEGAL SCOPE
Cleaning and disinfection of areas contaminated with blood and other bodily fluids cannot be carried out by companies without specific training in biological risk.
Although authorities, bodies responsible for recovering corpses, and funeral homes play an essential role in the process, they lack adequate training to clean crime scenes. The same applies to domestic cleaning companies, which are unprepared to handle potentially dangerous biological agents, putting public health and the safety of the affected area at risk.
TRAUMA
Even if it seems possible to clean a place where a loved one died, don't! Beyond the emotional toll this task can take, cleaning a place of death involves complex challenges that are difficult to overcome without the right knowledge and resources.
Failure to perform specialized cleaning will expose other family members and friends to biological traces, worsening the psychological impact and putting the health of everyone involved at risk. To ensure safety, consult qualified professionals, prepared to handle these situations effectively and discreetly.
