1) Why call a Cleanup Company?
K R I Crime Scene Cleanup technicians are trained in the removal and disposal of
Bio Hazardous waste. According to OSHA and the CDC for cleanup of Blood borne
Pathogens and some airborne Pathogens, like Hepatitis A,B,C, and TB

professional cleanup service you can feel safe in the knowledge that all of the
infectious diseases have been removed and decontaminated, and is no longer a
health risk.
