Renters live in about 58% of homes in Oakland, so landlords and property managers often need to get cleanup done and sort out who pays with tenants and insurers. The census figure for older adults living alone in Oakland is 30%, above the California average. When someone lives alone, a death can go unnoticed for days, and unattended death cleanup follows.
The rule on the wall of every serious crew is to treat all blood and bodily fluids as infectious. Under OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), cleanup technicians use PPE and strict handling steps so germs stay out of the rest of the home and off the people doing the work.
The finish matters as much as the cleanup. After disinfection, HEPA air scrubbers run, odor equipment works on the room, and the crew checks every surface, with ATP testing available to confirm the result.
