What Is Extreme Cleaning?
Extreme cleaning refers to specialized cleaning services that go far beyond the scope of routine or deep cleaning. It’s typically required in environments that are contaminated, hazardous, or in extreme disarray—often following traumatic events, hoarding situations, unattended deaths, or heavy biohazard exposure.
Hazards Involved in Extreme Cleaning
Extreme cleaning can expose workers to a variety of serious risks. These may include:
Biohazard contamination: Bloodborne pathogens, human waste, animal remains, or bodily fluids.
Structural dangers: Weakened floors, broken glass, sharp objects, or collapsed furniture in hoarded spaces.
Chemical exposure: Use of industrial-strength disinfectants and cleaning agents.
Mold and airborne contaminants: Particularly in water-damaged or long-neglected properties.
Pest infestations: Rodents, insects, or other vermin and their waste products.
Emotional toll: Especially when cleaning after traumatic events or in emotionally sensitive scenarios.
Deep Cleaning vs. Extreme Cleaning: What’s the Difference?
| Feature | Deep Cleaning | Extreme Cleaning |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Detailed cleaning for maintenance or hygiene | Hazard removal and health risk mitigation |
| Environment | Homes, offices, public spaces | Crime scenes, hoarded homes, post-mortem sites |
| Protective Gear | Minimal (gloves, mask) | Full PPE (respirators, hazmat suits) |
| Training Required | Basic cleaning skills | Specialized trauma, biohazard, and safety training |
| Emotional Sensitivity | Low | High—often involves sensitive or distressing scenes |
Examples of Biohazards Encountered
- Feces – Unsanitary waste that requires proper removal and disinfection to restore a clean, safe environment.
- Chemical Residue – Hard-to-remove industrial or cleaning chemical residues that can linger on surfaces, affecting hygiene and appearance.
- Other Biohazards, such as human and animal waste, drug residue and small quantities of blood.
We Handle the Toughest Surface Contaminants
If a job requires power washing as part of the cleanup, we can certainly provide it. While we don’t focus on residential work, we’re fully equipped to deliver professional-grade power washing for commercial properties where biohazardous material has been found.
Restaurant Grease & Dumpster Pad Cleaning
At 1st Trauma Scene Clean Up, we powerwash the area around commercial grease containers —eliminating grease, oil buildup, and food waste —ensuring a safer and cleaner disposal site.
One of the biggest challenges restaurants face is disposing of used cooking oil into commercial grease containers (also known as grease dumpsters). Over time, grease splatters and spills around these containers, creating slippery, hazardous conditions and attracting pests. Without proper cleaning, this buildup can become a serious sanitation issue.
