Renters live in about 48% of homes in Philadelphia, 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 Philadelphia is 38%, above the Pennsylvania average. When someone lives alone, a death can go unnoticed for days, and unattended death cleanup follows.
Decontamination starts with protecting people. Crews suit up in PPE, set up barriers so contaminants cannot drift into clean rooms, and work to OSHA bloodborne pathogen protocols (29 CFR 1910.1030) from the first step to the last.
Cleaning removes soil, and disinfecting kills germs, so both steps happen. Crews use EPA-registered disinfectants and let them stay wet for the full contact time, then use air scrubbers to pull particles and odor out of the air.

When a death goes unnoticed for days, decomposition fluids reach flooring and subfloor and the odor spreads. Death cleanup removes the affected materials and treats the odor at the source.
An average July high of 89 degrees in Strawberry Mansion speeds up decomposition after a death. The sooner the scene is released and cleaned, the less the odor and fluids spread.
About 83% of homes in Philadelphia were built before 1980, and older carpet, subfloor and trim hold fluids deeper, which can mean more material to remove.

Crews wear protective equipment, remove porous materials that cannot be made safe, and dispose of the waste under medical waste rules. It goes far beyond ordinary housecleaning.

It varies by the germ. Hepatitis B can survive on surfaces for at least seven days, and other pathogens last for different periods. Because nobody can tell by looking, all blood is treated as infectious until it has been properly disinfected.
