Homicide Cleaners Serving Greater Hilltop and Franklin County
Homicide cleaning is the last step after an investigation closes the scene. Police and investigators do not clean, so a separate cleanup crew removes the hazards and returns the space to a safe condition.

Most homes in Columbus are newer, but carpet, padding and drywall still absorb fluids, so crews check beneath the surface. About 56% of households in Columbus are renters, so many homicide scenes involve a landlord, a lease and a tenant's insurance.
The work often covers:

- Fingerprint powder and chemical residue removal left by investigators
- Careful sorting and cleaning of personal property and keepsakes where possible
- Packaging and disposal of regulated medical waste under Ohio rules
- Private, quiet work done with respect for the family and neighbors

Homicide Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Greater Hilltop, Columbus, OH
Is the family expected to clean the scene?
No, and it is not advised. Cleanup involves health risks and can be hard emotionally. Professional crews handle it so the family does not have to see or touch the affected area.
How do homicide cleaners clean up a homicide?
They seal off the area, wear protective gear and remove soaked flooring, drywall and furniture. Hard surfaces are cleaned and disinfected. Waste is hauled as regulated medical waste, and the air is treated for odor.
Is blood from a homicide dangerous after it dries?
Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and wiping or scraping can release particles. Crews wear protective equipment and use hospital-grade disinfectants to make the area safe.
What paperwork is needed for the claim?
Expect to supply a bill or receipt, itemized costs and an insurance declaration page or a statement of no insurance. Ask the cleanup crew what paperwork you get. There is no fee to apply, and no lawyer is required.
Will the smell go away?
Yes, when the source is removed. Odor often comes from materials fluids soaked into, so crews take those out, then clean and deodorize the space. The air is filtered to finish the job.
Is there emotional support available?
Many families find support through victim services, counselors and faith communities. If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 anytime. The cleanup crew focuses on the property so you can focus on healing.
