Odour Removal
Specialised odour elimination treatments remove all traces of biological odours, allowing the space to be used without painful reminders.

Property Restoration
The space is restored to its pre-incident condition, allowing families to move forward without visual reminders of the tragedy.
Why Professional Suicide Cleanup is Essential
DO NOT Attempt Suicide Cleanup Yourself
Suicide scenes contain serious health hazards that require professional handling:
Biohazard exposure risks: Blood and bodily fluids are classified as infectious biohazards. Without proper protective equipment and training, you risk exposure to bloodborne pathogens including HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and other diseases.
Emotional trauma: Family members and loved ones should never have to face the physical aftermath of suicide. The psychological impact of cleaning a suicide scene causes lasting trauma.
Incomplete cleaning: Biological materials often spread beyond visible areas. Blood seeps into flooring, carpets, walls, and structural elements where it’s not immediately apparent. Standard cleaning products and methods cannot properly sanitise these areas.
Legal requirements: Under EPA Victoria regulations, biohazardous waste must be transported and disposed of by licensed professionals. Improper disposal can result in fines and legal complications.
Hidden contamination: What you see is often only a portion of the contamination. Blood and fluids spread through cracks, under flooring, and into porous materials where they pose ongoing health risks.
Professional suicide cleanup protects your health, spares your emotional wellbeing, and ensures complete, legal remediation.
