Bloodborne pathogens

08 Dec 2025 10:06 AM | Tina Tkachanko

Bloodborne pathogens—such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV—are microorganisms carried in human blood and certain bodily fluids that can cause serious and lifelong illness. Even small amounts of contaminated material can pose a risk, and these pathogens often survive on surfaces longer than most people realize. Because they are invisible to the eye, it’s easy to underestimate the danger during cleanup.


Cleaning areas contaminated with blood or bodily fluids requires more than everyday household products. Professional cleaners are trained in proper disinfection procedures, safe handling of biohazards, and correct disposal methods that meet health and safety regulations. They use hospital-grade disinfectants, protective equipment, and protocols designed to eliminate pathogens at the source.


Hiring trained professionals ensures that a space is fully sanitized and safe for anyone who may enter afterward. It protects homeowners, employees, and the public from accidental exposure and prevents cross-contamination that could cause illness. Proper biohazard cleaning isn’t just about tidiness—it’s about protecting health, meeting legal standards, and giving peace of mind.
