Suicide Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Poletown East, Detroit, MI

What safety standards do cleanup crews follow?

Workers who clean up blood and body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. It calls for protective equipment, safe handling and proper disposal. Ask any team what training it has and how it deals with waste.

What should I ask a suicide clean up company before hiring?

Ask how it contains the area, what protective gear it uses and how it disposes of waste. Ask what the price includes and whether you get records for an insurer. Ask how it treats odor and what happens if a smell remains.

Can a home be sold or rented after a suicide?

Yes, once it has been cleaned and any repairs are done. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent. A cleanup team can provide records of the work.

Do I have to see the room?

No. Many families never enter the room. The cleanup team can work while you stay elsewhere, and you can ask a friend, landlord or representative to meet the crew for access. Photos and records can be shared if you want them.

Who pays if the person was a tenant?

Lease terms and local law decide. A landlord may handle cleanup through the owner's insurance, or the tenant's estate or renters policy may apply. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can explain the details for a specific case.

How long does suicide cleanup take?

It depends on the size of the affected area and how far fluids spread. A small area can be finished in a day, while a larger one or one with odor in the structure takes longer. The team can explain the timeline after hearing the details.
