The census figure for older adults living alone in Detroit is 40%, above the Michigan average. When someone lives alone, a death can go unnoticed for days, and unattended death cleanup follows. Renters live in about 50% of homes in Detroit, so landlords and property managers often need to get cleanup done and sort out who pays with tenants and insurers.
The rule on the wall of every serious crew is to treat all blood and bodily fluids as infectious. Under OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), cleanup technicians use PPE and strict handling steps so germs stay out of the rest of the home and off the people doing the work.
Products matter because a mild cleaner will not kill bloodborne germs. Biohazard cleaners use EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectants, follow the label for contact time and pair them with air treatment for lingering odor.
