In Hesperia, biohazard cleanup is the removal and disinfection of blood, body fluids and other material that can carry disease, after a crime, a death at home, a suicide, an accident or a hoarding situation.

It covers homes, rentals, businesses and vehicles.

Across San Bernardino County, the cleanup falls to whoever is responsible for the property: the family, the executor or the landlord. The funeral home takes the person into its care but does not clean the room. Death cleanup removes the affected flooring and furniture, disinfects the room and treats the odor at its source, so the home can be lived in, rented or sold again.
Who is responsible for crime scene cleanup?
The property owner, the tenant or the family arranges it. Police and the medical examiner leave once the scene is released, and the cleanup is left to whoever is responsible for the property. Crime scene cleanup, also called homicide cleanup, removes the blood and soaked materials, cleans away fingerprint powder and disinfects the room.
