Los Angeles Crime Scene Cleanup
Los Angeles Sees Frequent Need for Crime Scene Cleaning
Since the dawn of television, crime dramas have been a popular genre, and Los Angeles has been the backdrop for many. From shows like “Dragnet”, which transitioned from radio to television in 1951, “Adam 12,” and “Columbo” to more modern shows like “Southland,” “The Rookie,” and “NCSI: Los Angeles,” the streets of the City of Angels have been portrayed as home to all manner of thugs.
L.A. has been the setting for more than its share of both fictional and real-life violent crimes and homicides. In a sprawling city of over 12 million people, there’s going to be a lot of crime.
While the Los Angeles murder rate isn’t as high as TV would lead us to believe, the L.A.P.D. reported 327 homicides in the city in 2023. This is actually a decrease from 2022 but still 327 too many.
Every one of these homicides represents a tragic loss for someone, and on top of the grief, many survivors are left with the horrific task of homicide cleanup.
Los Angeles Crime Scene Cleaners
Crime scenes frequently involve a great deal of blood and bodily fluids, so the risk of contamination by biohazards is high. Few people realize that crime scene cleanup is the responsibility of the property owner, and most people are not equipped to deal with such a traumatic, risky job.
If you don’t know what you’re doing, you run the risk of spreading contaminants all over the place or being infected by bacteria, viruses, or toxins that may be present at the crime scene. Bloodborne pathogens include Hepatitis B (HBV), Hepatitis C (HCV), Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Malaria, Syphilis, and COVID-19, just to name a few.
Unless you have proper training, personal protective equipment, the right cleaners and disinfectants, and knowledge of and licensing for biohazard removal and transport, you have no business trying to deal with crime scene cleanup.

Los Angeles Hoarder Cleanup
Hoarding has gotten a lot of attention lately, thanks to TV shows like “Hoarders” and “Hoarding: Buried Alive.” The amount of detritus piles in homes where hoarding occurs usually contain all kinds of gross filth and biohazards.
Homes that are so crammed with trash and piles of useless items become impossible for residents to clean. Rotting food and garbage provide an ideal breeding ground for all kinds of dangerous bacteria. Hoarding situations also create the perfect conditions for mold.
In addition, many hoarders have pets–sometimes many of them. If animals are in the house, there may be pet waste everywhere, unattended litter boxes, and open food cans.
All of these contaminants call for specialized knowledge and training to effectively clean up a property.
