Rentals are common in Milwaukee, at about 58% of households, and the lease decides who pays when a unit needs decontamination. Older housing is common in Milwaukee, around 84% built before 1980, and porous materials there often need removal, not just disinfection.

What biohazard decontamination covers:

  • Cleaning of equipment, tools and furniture that can be safely kept and reused
  • Removal of carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery that germs have soaked into
  • A second, careful disinfection pass after a first cleanup left areas untreated
  • Surface inspection after treatment, with notes on what was done and where
  • Detailed cleaning of floors, walls, ceilings and fixtures before any disinfectant is applied

Gloves, eye protection, respirators and disposable suits go on before the crew crosses the boundary. Doors and vents in the work area are managed.

3. Remove, then clean

Visible material and items that cannot be saved are removed and sealed. Every surface is then cleaned with detergent, because residue shields germs from disinfectant.

Biohazard Decontamination FAQs for Silver Swan and Milwaukee County

Is bleach enough to disinfect?

Not always. Different germs need different products, and the product label says what it targets and how long it must stay wet. Never mix bleach with other cleaners, because some mixes make harmful gases. A local team picks products that match the germs involved.

What should I do before the crew arrives?

Keep people and pets out of the affected area. Do not wipe, vacuum or scrub anything. Take photos from a safe distance for your insurer, and call 911 first if anyone is in danger.

Is it safe to stay in the house during decontamination?

Usually it is better not to. The affected area is sealed off, products are in use and the air is being managed. Ask the crew whether other parts of the house can stay in use.

Does insurance cover decontamination?

Sometimes. Some homeowners and renters policies cover cleanup after a covered event, and some exclude certain causes. Call the insurance company before work starts, take photos and keep every receipt. Ask the team whether it can supply paperwork.

What is the difference between biohazard cleanup and decontamination?

Cleanup removes blood, bodily fluids and other material from a scene. Decontamination makes the cleaned surfaces and the space safe again through cleaning and disinfecting. Most jobs include both, and the crew can explain how it treats each.

How long does decontamination take?

A small area with hard surfaces can take a few hours. Larger or more complicated spaces, heavy odor or many porous items take longer. The crew can offer a better timeline after seeing the site.

Is your Silver Swan space safe to use again?

Day or night, the call starts with listening.
