Crime Scene Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Northern Liberties, Philadelphia, PA

Do police clean up crime scenes?

No. Police collect evidence and then release the scene. Blood, bodily fluids and fingerprint powder stay behind. You, as the owner or manager, then book crime scene cleaning with a professional team.

Do crime scene cleaners remove tear gas and fingerprint powder?

Yes. Fingerprint powder and tear gas residue are common after police work. Both need careful methods, because wiping or washing them can spread residue. Crews test the area and clean it with matched products.

Is dried blood still dangerous?

Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and scraping or wiping it can release particles. It should be handled in protective gear and disinfected, which is why crews treat old stains as seriously as fresh ones.

Who cleans up crime scenes?

Crime scene cleaners do, also called forensic cleaners or biohazard remediation crews. Police and first responders do not clean. After law enforcement releases the scene, you, as the property owner, family member or estate, hire a crime scene cleanup company.

When can crime scene cleanup start?

Only after law enforcement releases the scene. Ask the investigating agency directly. Until then, stay out of the area and do not move or clean anything.

Will the neighbors know?

Cleanup can be done discreetly. Ask about unmarked vehicles and quiet work practices when you call. Crews keep what they see private and do not discuss the job with others.

Property in Northern Liberties unsafe after a crime?

Cleaners remove the hazard and handle the paperwork for insurers.
