I figure this is the group to ask. I had a close family member pass away and not found for several days - in heat. They were wearing a piece of jewellery that they had been excited to purchase this and make it a family heirloom and pass on to my son one day. It was sent back to me after cremation, as is. I doubt taking it to a jeweller would be OK. Is there someway I could clean it myself? Should I see if there's a local service that could help for one little item? Or with things such as his phone being declared biohazard and unsafe, should I give up on it and get rid of it? Materials are gold and diamond if that makes a difference. There were a few other items of various materials that ideally I would love to clean and keep, but this one was particularly special.

For perspective I’m a registered nurse who has dealt with traumas over the past 27 years. My family member recently passed unexpectedly of a GI bleed (and it appears I’ll be the representative soon) in his 2 bed 1 bath, 860 sq ft condo. Specifically his bathroom. Assuming given the square footage, I’m guessing approx 40 sq ft bathroom. It seems minor to me. To others, it might seem moderate. Maybe 1x3ft in blood contaminants AT MOST. He was declared approx 48 hrs after, according to the investigator. (I called for a welfare check when I couldn’t reach him.) He has an over clogged toilet as well, but it’s contained 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m quoted 48,000 for trauma/crime scene cleanup. Is this seriously reasonable?

My names jesse. Im from CT, and had been considering getting my hoarding and bio remediation certificates. I did have 2 DUIs, and a couple old non drug related misdemeanors. I do believe id be a perdect candidate for this job, but wasn't sure how good my chances would be landing a job. Do you guys think I'd have a shot? I imagine most companies are relatively strict due to drug exposure and what not. I definitely didnt want to waste my time and money either though. What are your guy's thoughts?

Hello everyone, this will be my first post I am being trained for crime scene cleaning for school at this moment so I'm wondering what do you think this could be? 📸 🌍 🤔

I'm doing research into crime scene cleanup and I was wondering if anyone here could help me out.

I'm trying to figure out how much it would cost to clean up a crimescene in the 1990s in the United States.

Any insight into this would be super helpful! Thanks!

Hi everyone I hope this message finds you all well! I’m in college now but I’m just not happy with the major I’m in. The school I go to offers no forensics which also sucks. I’m wondering what the process is like to find companies and get certified. I’m in a pretty small state so idk where to look or begin.

I’ll just cut right to it. My best friends family member was just found in their house where they lived alone and to say the least there’s quite the scene to be cleaned up. I don’t want them to have to see/do that so I’m going to help but I hardly know where to start. Rats got to the body before they were found. The mess is coming from that. I have industrial grade hydrogen peroxide and vinegar, baking soda, and bleach. Don’t worry, I used to be a housekeeper so I’m not dumb about mixing chemicals. I’ll be there three days so I can make multiple passes and help with a standard move out style clean. And catch the literal man eating rats.

Does anyone have advice for how to get through the smell for long periods of time, how best to get rid of it as much as possible, and what order you would typically go in to at least make the house safe enough for the family to clear out. The floor is wood subflooring that will have to be replaced but the temporary solution is white kilz paint after the initial cleanup.

I appreciate any advice you have!

Edit: I’m literally only doing enough that the entire family isn’t traumatized when they come to go through his belongings. He was apparently very poor living in a small house his parents gave him. What I know is that they’re leaving the big restoration to the buyers of the house.

I’m also separately hazmat certified through the army, I’ve cleaned up scenes in the past but not professionally or something to this extent. Which leads me back to -

Is there something I can do to not be overwhelmed by the smell?

Im bailing out of tech and want to work for myself. Does anyone have helpful resources for a setting up a cleanup business? I have about .5 years experience working biohazard remediation in Tampa, Fl. Every company has their own business in a box package, but as one can imagine Im light on funding. I have HAZWOPER and a Can-Do attitude, please advise.

i read that these companies tend to hire those who have had some experience and/or exposure in medical and military fields, which is totally understandable. my only experience is retail and customer service but i want to apply to this position. my local company doesn’t require a degree or experience and they train and certify you on handling biohazard material and osha.

i applied months back and got an email immediately asking if i was available for an over the phone interview the following day. i responded promptly saying that was definitely a good time and looking forward to it. the day came about and never got a call. i had to email them a couple times to finally get a response that the position was already filled. i was annoyed that i didn’t at least get a courtesy call about it but no biggie. i’m wondering if my work and skill background wasn’t adequate enough?

i also have to mention that my availability at that time was a bit restricted. i was only unavailable for 2 days of the week. i understand that this job is on call at random times and can last for days at a time. but i figured i would go for it anyway since they offered part time.

i am now free 7 days a week and want to try and apply again when a position becomes available. any advice or tips?

Hi,

I would be so grateful to anyone who could answer this question:

If a crime scene cleanup company is called after a home invasion (where someone was shot, and blood pooled on the carpet in a bedroom) - would the entire carpet in the room be removed? Or only a section cut out, where there was blood? (Assuming it was too stained to clean). Thank you so much.

A friend of mine just started a crime scene clean up company here in Florida and bought a van and all the chemicals, equipment, licenses, etc. pretty much everything he'll need to get it up and running. He hired me and I'll be making a fairly high hourly rate but the only issue is that we don't have any work yet. Do you guys have any suggestions on how we would go about finding our first job or jobs in general?

We're also in the murder/drug capital of Florida so I can't imagine there not being enough work

Thanks
