Greenwich Crime Scene Cleanup
We specialize in crime scene cleanup and tragedy cleanup. We emphasize ‘tragedy’ clean-up, since little of our work involves active crime scenes. Homicides and Self-Inflicted death (suicide) are not the only type of tragedy cleaning we perform. Just because blood may not be readily visible, body fluids may potentially have a high enough concentration of pathogens to be classified as “Other Potentially Infectious Materials” (OPIM) according to OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (reference 29CFR1910.1030).
Our service is equipped and ready to respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Once summoned to a scene, whether commercial, industrial, residential or auto, our technicians will evaluate the extent of the damage and prepare a written proposal. When our proposal is accepted, we immediately begin the restoration procedures. We clean, disinfect and deodorize all affected areas along with proper disposal. All biohazardous waste is disposed of through a federally licensed waste company.
In addition, we offer extensive disaster cleaning services including fire damage restoration where we use the most up to date document drying processes when those irreplacable papers are threatened by water damage.

Crime Scene Cleanup & Medical Enzyme Detergents
Crime and violence has seen a dramatic increase in recent years. Not only that, perpetrators of crime and violence have been more brazen in their activities that virtually anyone can fall victim to these senselessness. With these new and challenging social phenomena, there is now a need for a new breed of professionals, persons and groups who specialize in one thing and one thing only - crime scene cleanup.
In most crime scenes, police authorities and other personnel have usually performed this chore of crime scene cleanup. However, because of the changes in the nature, frequency, and intensity of crimes committed, these authorities have given up the dirty job of cleaning up the mess in any crime scene. Thus, crime scene cleanup professionals were born.
The science involved in crime scene cleanup is anchored in the understanding of human anatomy and basic chemistry. Since the major substance that needs cleaning up in a crime scene is human blood - although at times, there will be other tissues like human flesh, tissue membranes, and other body fluids - professional crime scene cleaners will find knowledge of human blood greatly helps them in their job of crime scene cleanup.
Human blood is composed of a liquid portion, known as plasma, and solid particles. The plasma is usually made up of water, electrolytes like sodium, potassium, chloride, and magnesium and some other substances important to various body functions like blood clotting and management of inflammatory conditions. The solid particles are suspended in the plasma component. These particles include the red blood cell, the white blood cell and platelets. The major composition of these blood cells is protein in various forms. Protein is a very large molecule which plays a very important role in building the many tissues of the body, including blood. And like in any building project, there should be a form of a mixture that binds the different building blocks together. The human blood, therefore, is a massive building project, with each component being glued to one another by substances and molecules that support life.
In crime scene cleanup, professionals should use a solution that effectively dissolves the connections that bind the different blood components. Technically, any solution can do the job but since the blood is composed of different chemicals, chemical reactions may differ according to the type of solution used. This is the reason why medical enzyme detergents are especially useful for the purpose of crime scene cleanup. Enzymes are naturally-occurring large protein molecules that speed up the rate of chemical reactions, especially in terms of breaking down one large molecule into its component parts.
Enzyme-rich cleaners and detergents are effective in the removal of human blood stains from crime scenes because it effectively breaks down the connective tissues that bind individual blood components together. The result is that the blood stain will be easily removed. As such crime scene cleanup professionals almost always use some sort of an enzyme-rich cleaner in the management of a crime scene. Although there are other chemically-similar solutions in the market being used for the same purpose, the relative safety of medical-enzyme detergents puts the solution at the top list of the professionals.
