What Biohazard Decontamination Means for Sharswood Properties
Biohazard remediation, sometimes called biological remediation or biological cleanup, is the full process of containing, removing and treating biological contamination. Decontamination is its finishing stage, where cleaned surfaces are disinfected and checked.
If you need biohazard decontamination at your home, rental, office, shop or vehicle in Sharswood or across Philadelphia County, call Sharswood Biohazard Cleanup Help. The cleanup team works in PPE and explains each step as it goes.
Renters make up about 48% of households in Philadelphia, so landlords often order decontamination between tenants. About 83% of homes in Philadelphia were built before 1980, and older flooring and trim hold contamination deeper than newer finishes.
The work often covers:
- Treatment of rooms where a person with an infectious illness stayed
- Sealing and labeling of contaminated waste for regulated medical waste hauling
- Disinfection of hard surfaces with EPA-registered products and the full labeled contact time
- Containment barriers that keep clean rooms separate from the work area
- Detailed cleaning of floors, walls, ceilings and fixtures before any disinfectant is applied

Questions About Decontamination and Disinfection in Sharswood, Philadelphia, PA
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Keep people and pets out of the affected area. Do not wipe, vacuum or scrub anything. Take photos from a safe distance for your insurer, and call 911 first if anyone is in danger.
What is biohazard decontamination?
Biohazard decontamination is the process of cleaning and disinfecting a space after blood, bodily fluids, sewage or similar material. Crews wear protective gear, remove items that cannot be saved and apply a disinfectant matched to the germs involved. The goal is a space safe to use again.
Can a car or truck be decontaminated?
Yes. Crews remove soiled mats, seat covers and cushions, clean the cabin and disinfect seats, belts, door pulls and vents. Fleet managers and rideshare drivers often call after a medical event or a mess that cannot wait.
How do you decontaminate after COVID-19 or other illness?
Crews clean, then disinfect touch points, bedding, floors and shared surfaces with products suited to the germ. They wear PPE and bag soiled items safely. The same process applies to C. diff, norovirus and other infections.
Can carpet and mattresses be saved?
Sometimes, but often not. Porous materials soak up fluids, and germs can remain deep inside where disinfectant cannot reach. The team looks at each item and explains which can be saved. Items that cannot be cleaned are removed, sealed and hauled away.
Can I decontaminate a space myself?
Light, simple messes may be manageable with gloves and the right product, but blood, sewage and infectious material are not. Mistakes can spread germs, and household cleaners often miss what soaked into porous items. Crews use PPE, containment and tested procedures.
