Death Cleanup FAQ for The Farm, Colorado Springs, CO: Cost, Insurance and Timing

What is the best way to clean out my parents' home after their death?

Start with safety. If the death was unattended, biohazard cleanup comes first. Then set aside papers, photos and valuables, sort the rest by room and book hauling. An estate cleanout team can do the heavy work while the family makes decisions.

What is considered an unattended death?

An unattended death is one where no one was with the person and they were not found for some time. It may be a few days or much longer. The term describes how the death was discovered, not the cause. Cleanup is needed because body fluids and odor may remain.

Can the home be cleaned out for sale after the biohazard work?

Yes. Many families book an estate cleanout once the affected area is clean and safe. The crew sorts, removes and cleans the rest of the home. Ask whether one team can do both parts so access and timing stay simple.

What happens to personal belongings and keepsakes?

Photos, papers, jewelry and other keepsakes are set aside, cleaned when possible and returned to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Items that cannot be made safe are removed, and the team explains why.

What safety standards do cleanup crews follow?

Workers who handle blood and body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. It calls for protective equipment, safe handling and proper disposal. Ask any team what training it has and how it disposes of waste.

How long does death cleanup take?

It depends on the size of the affected area and how far fluids spread. A small area can be finished in a day, while a larger one or one with odor in the structure takes longer. A cleanup team can explain the timeline after hearing the details.
