Why Crime Scene Clean-Up Isn't a DIY Project
If you find yourself looking at a crime scene, your initial reaction may be to clean it yourself. You may want it to be gone as soon as possible and that's completely understandable. Here's some reasons why you shouldn't do that.
1. Fluids! Coming into contact with bodily fluids, especially blood, can be harmful. It can carry disease and pathogens that you just don't want on or near your body!
2. Invisible to the eye! If you don't take care of all of it, you can still recieve harmful effects. This means if you try and clean it and leave behind any traces of the scene (even germs and pathogens you can't see), your home won't be as sanitary as you think it is. You know how they say won't you don't know won't hurt you? Well in this case, it can.
3. Don't stress! While you may be worried that you can't afford crime scene cleaners, your insurance will usually take care of it! Don't let this detail keep you from getting the professionals in the door! Our team will help you contact your insurance company, and find out if your policy helps to aide in the cost of the clean-up.
Never try to clean a crime scene yourself! You'll be happier, more sanitary, and less stressed when you let the professionals come take care of it. If you need help or contact us at 520-771-5960. Bio-One of Tucson is here to help.
The Facts of Biohazardous Waste Disposal
August 15, 2020 Amanda Perkins
Biohazardous waste is the subset waste accumulated at health care facilities like hospitals, blood banks, medical laboratories, nursing homes, crime scenes, and in home environments during unattended deaths. Usually, this waste settles while contaminated by blood, body fluids, and infected medical materials. Although other elements like household disinfectants, industrial fuels, fertilizers, and pesticides contain hazardous substances; medical waste is a more serious concern and must be disposed of properly to avoid potential serious consequences
Why is the disposal of biohazardous waste important?
Facts have proven that out of total medical waste 85% is non-hazardous and the remaining 15% is hazardous waste yet affects the most. The improper management of biohazardous waste would result in the following hazards:
CDC guideline states that, the dispose of medical waste should be properly packed in bio-waste containers, transferred by a certified company, and disposed of at a certified waste disposal facility. If the guidelines are not followed then that waste will not be collected and can potentially spread or cross contaminate environments not healthy for human occupation.
As per CDC Guidelines, Infections liberated by not disposing of the bio-hazardous waste could be:
Bio-One of Tucson is a certified biohazardous waste clean-up and transporter of biohazardous waste to secure disposal facilities within the Tucson and surrounding areas community. If you or someone you know encounters a biohazardous situation do not try to remediate the situation yourself. The CDC imposes large fines if biohazardous waste is not properly contained and disposed of in the correct manner. In making sure you have a certified company handle these matters you are not only protecting yourself from liability, but your responsible actions help to keep all those in your community safe.

Your home should be your refuge. When we have an unpleasant odor in our home or business, and we can't pinpoint the location of it or what causes the smell it can often be very troubling and disrupts our quality of life.
Our sense of smell is very sharp. It's able to detect around 10000 different scents according to neuroscientists. Having an odor that you don't like can have a huge impact on your entire mood and state of mind, and it is best to get rid of it right away. If one thinks about how some smells can remind us of happy memories we can make a direct correlation to how a persistent unpleasant odor can have a negative impact on our well being.
Some odors can be easily eliminated with household cleaning products. However, what do we do with the persistent odors caused by food stains, smoking, mold, or pet feces over a period of time? If you are experiencing odor in your environment from these tough smells there's a high chance that they have attracted bacteria that are feeding them and that's the source of the unpleasant odor. If this is the case you should contact a certified professional to address the problem right away because that bacteria might be biohazardous and may endanger the well-being of yourself and those in your care.
It can be a daunting task to deal with unpleasant odors, and our team at Bio-One of Tucson is extremely committed to helping those that have issues with unpleasant odors under the motto "Help First, Business Second". Our approach is professional and respectful in every way and we are committed to restoring the safety of your home quickly and efficiently.

Digging Out of Hoarding
August 6, 2020 Amanda Perkins
Finding Help with Hoarding
When confronted with the reality of a hoarding situation many do not understand how a person living with the mental illness of hoarding can allow their environment to come to what it has. It is our goal to shed some light on what hoarding is, and what factors are important when approaching someone who needs help in cleaning up their environment.
Dr. William C. Shiel Jr. advises that, "Pathological hoarding is the excessive hoarding of material goods, and is a condition that affects up to 40% of those suffering from Obsessive Compulsion Disorder (OCD)." It can result in an extreme emotional attachment to personal goods that many would not deem of value and can ultimately manifest into an environment that is unsafe to continue to reside in for both those that are ill and their families. It is this inability to give away personal items that overtime can result in uninhabitable living environments that need to be remediated by a certified company.
When approaching the subject of cleaning up a hoarding environment, many that struggle with this disease are reluctant to reach out for help. There can be a degree of shame and guilt with allowing outsiders to see what their environment has accumulated too. However, many times the task of cleaning up the hoard can at the same time feel overwhelming and insurmountable. It is for these reasons that many times hoarders continue to live in a tough situation without seeking help. Bio-One of Tucson has committed to the service of helping these very people in our community. We understand the potential dangers to health and well-being that continuing to reside in these environments pose, and we approach each client with the dignity and respect that they deserve as we help them get back to a safe living environment.
Many times, there can be underlying health concerns related to a hoard such as biomedical waste, or additional hazards that need to be disposed of in the proper manner by a certified company to keep in compliance with state and federal regulations. It is important that the professional company that remediates the hoard is also certified to properly transport and dispose of biohazardous waste so that the liability of the homeowner is protected.
When one needs to dig out of hoard it can be an extremely emotional process. The team at Bio-One of Tucson is committed to our motto of, "Help First, Business Second." In that we approach the person, the personal effects, and the residence with the respect and dignity they deserve to return their home back to the safe place it should be. If you, or someone you know needs help with cleaning up a hoard please contact us at 520-771-5960 to schedule a free estimate of services.
What You Need To Know About Unattended Death Remediation
August 3, 2020
An unattended death often occurs in solitude. It can often take several days before somebody suspects that something is wrong. When phone calls, text messages and emails go unanswered, friends, family members and landlords check in on the person at home, only to find that they’ve passed. If you’ve been in this position, you’re not alone. Whether an intentional act, or due to living alone the reality of unattended death happens more often than you might think in our community.
Discovering an unattended death can be an emotionally wrenching experience. It’s even more traumatic when the victim is a loved one. Although you may feel obligated to clean up the remains yourself, it is in your best interest to protect yourself from possible disease and liability by allowing a certified company to assist you during this time.
For one, it’s dangerous. Body fluids from corpses can release dangerous pathogens into the immediate area, creating a hazard for anyone without personal protective gear. To understand why this happens, you need to know how the decomposition process of the human body works. When someone dies, bacteria in the body lose the nutrients that keep them sustained. They look for other food sources to nourish themselves, and end up settling on the organs. These organs, which include the liver, the pancreas and the intestinal tract, are broken down with remarkable speed. To put this feeding process into perspective, there are trillions of bacteria in our bodies. That averages to about four pounds of bacteria for a 200-pound adult. Operating all at once, bacteria remove all the organs from the body within a 48-hour window.
Depending on the temperature and humidity of the room, the skin will begin to tear within this timeframe, allowing biohazardous materials to seep from the body. Rising pressure from the body’s gasses will quicken the process, releasing a terrible odor that’s often referred to as the stench of death. Sometimes, these gases will even cause the body to explode. As harmful pathogens pool on the floor, they release noxious gasses into the air, which can be inhaled through the nose and mouth. People who haven’t been trained to deal with biohazard remediation should remove themselves from the scene to escape these fumes and other threats from the decomposing body. Although it may not be obvious, people who approach a body without safety equipment risk exposing themselves to disease. Proper precautions must be taken, which brings us to another reason you shouldn’t embark on this endeavor yourself. This is why it is important to ask a certified company to remediate it for you and to ask if their technicians have been certified in bloodborne pathogen training.
You likely don’t have the training, equipment, or certifications to safely and legally dispose of human remains. Gloves, goggles, respirators and body suits are necessary to protect yourself against airborne and bloodborne pathogens. But they’re not enough to keep you safe. Bio-One of Tucson follows a regimented process to disinfect the area safely and effectively. The chemicals allotted to clean decomposing bodies are regulated by the state. Thus, over-the-counter solutions simply aren’t powerful enough to remove and decontaminate body fluids soaked into the floor. While a surface may look clean, harmful pathogens will linger behind and pose a threat to others if the proper chemicals haven’t been used. Our certified technicians have the training and materials to thoroughly disinfect and disinfect an area contaminated by biohazardous waste. Moreover, they carry chemicals that can effectively deodorize the scene, which often proves difficult to do for death odors. Additionally, Biohazardous materials must be transported and disposed of in compliance with state and federal guidelines. It is imperative that you hire a company that is licensed to transport and disposed of correctly.
Additionally, many times the cost to remediate an unattended death is covered through Homeowners Insurance. We are experts in helping you navigate the insurance claim process to incur the least amount of financial stress during an already stressful time.
Bio-One is available 24 / 7 / 365 at (520)-771-5960 to speak with you regarding this or any of the services we provide. We pride ourselves in handling the hard part of the clean up so that you can focus on the happy memories of your loved one. We complete this work across the nation with compassion and confidentiality. Give us a call if you have any questions and we will help you.
3 Ways to Help Your Community Today during the Covid-19 Pandemic
July 28, 2020 By: Amanda Perkins
With all of us hunkering down at home practicing safe social distancing we may start to get a lil case of the grumps from being cooped up. However, I have always found that giving always seems to help bring perspective and lighten the heart. As leadership expert Robin Sharma says “Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.” So here are three things that we can do today to help our Tucson Community.
Donate Blood or Plasma. Right now more than ever is a great time to donate blood or plasma. Many hospitals are experiencing blood shortages due to COVID-19. When COVID-19 hit our communities, schools, churches, dentists, doctors and so many other businesses had to shut their doors. And do you know where a lot of blood drives take place? In those same places. Because of that, many blood drives have been canceled for the foreseeable future. Blood transfusions are needed for premature babies, women in labor, people with blood disorders, people who have experienced a trauma, and so many more things. Blood saves lives. Please consider donating or even sponsoring and putting on a blood drive. CSL Plasma center typically compensates about $70.00 per donation, however, you can now not only donate plasma, but you can also choose to donate the compensation you would have received to front line health care workers! That's a double whammy of giving for just a small bit out of your day! There are 6 area locations you can donate plasma which you can access here.
What is also wonderful is that for those people who have contracted Covid-19 and recovered successfully and might be feeling at a loss on how to connect back with their community according to the American Red Cross they are a much needed asset. Those that have successfully recovered from the Covid-19 virus have much needed antibodies that can attack the active virus in those struggling with severe cases of Covid-19. To learn more about blood and plasma donation visit the American Red Cross for details.
Help take care of local animals. With the pandemic hitting hard on the economy many local animal shelters and rescue organizations are seeing a rise in the amount of animals that need help. This Wednesday July 29, 2020 is #Woofdown Wednesday! Where over 20 local restaurants have partnered with the Southern Arizona Humane Society to help raise funds to take care of our furry friends. Dine-in, Take-out a meal tomorrow and feel good about the fact that you are helping our community at the same time! Click the link above to find all participating restaurants! Additionally, the Southern Arizona Humane Society is providing free pet food assistance every Sunday morning from 8am-10am. Maybe take a Sunday morning to go grab some for a family you know in need, or an elderly neighbor that is having trouble getting out to get their own.
Get Ready to Walk! The Southern Arizona Aids Foundation has transitioned their annual benefit walk into a virtual event! Register your team (registration opened on July 1st) and then take a video of your team walking anywhere and upload it October 12th-18th. You can have fun with this! Make shirts for your team, make a fun playlist to walk too, find a great trail to hike and/or maybe bring it inside and do a crazy walk on treadmills. Whether you are a team of one, a family, or an office this is a great way to give back while still practicing social distancing. To register find more information here.
These are just 3 easy things we can do today to help the socially distanced person next to us. As always, we at Bio-One of Tucson, are here to help with any Covid-19 disinfection needs, or any of the additional services we provide. #TucsonTogether
COVID-19 Disinfection Expertise
Are you Hiring an Expert
SEP 01, 2017 by PAUL MARVEL
With COVID-19 cases on the rise here in Arizona, a lot of companies including Pest Control Companies, Dry Cleaners, General Contractors have been jumping on the bandwagon to offer disinfection services, however, are they qualified to perform this vital service.
Here are a few items to keep in mind when choosing a company to disinfect your home or business:
1. What experience do they have disinfecting for Viruses: Here at Bio-One, we have been disinfecting for Viruses for close to 20 years. We have worked with disinfecting homes and businesses for C-Diff, MRSA, HIV, H1N1, Ebola just to name a few.
2. Does the company you are hiring follow strict CDC and OSHA protocols when performing these important services: You can find OSHA's standards for disinfecting for COVID-19 here, https://www.osha.gov/SLTC/covid-19/standards.html . As these standards indicate, ask for a copy of their Respiratory Protection Plan, Copies of their Bloodborne Pathogens Certificates as well as what Personal Protective Equipment do their technicians wear.
3. Are they insured for doing this kind of work. Since the outbreak, all but 1 insurance carrier has put exclusions in their policies for doing any type of COVID-19 Disinfection Services. What this means is if they break or damage anything in your home or business while performing these services, they do not have any insurance coverage to protect you or cover the cost. We at Bio-One do carry this important coverage and can provide you with proof of coverage.
4. Is the company you are hiring making false claims about how long their Disinfection lasts on surfaces. In Houston TX there was a company making false claims about how long their disinfection lasts, read about their claims here: Houston Business Shut Down There aren't any procedures or chemicals that will last weeks or months. The disinfection services last as long as a carrier does not re-enter the space.
As you review these 4 points, you need to ask yourself if the least expensive service provider is the best. Here at Bio-One, we realize their are companies charging both less than we do as well as more than we do. However, with how unpredictable this virus has proven to be, don't you want to trust a company that has the experience, is knowledgeable about the correct procedures, follows OSHA and CDC protocols and does not try and make false claims about their services.
We are here to help you make your home of business safe again. We are open 24/7/365. Call us at 520.771.5960 or visit our website at www.bioonetucson.com to get a free no obligation quote and to discuss your individual needs.
Mold and Your Home
Living in Arizona does not mean you don't have to worry about Mold
July 20, 2020 by Amanda Perkins
With a naturally desert dry climate some Arizonians may not feel the need to worry about mold related damages and health concerns. However, mold spores are around us everyday, and will increase as we enter monsoon months because the moisture in our climate will increase. This is why it's important that you know how to respond if you encounter a mold issue.
What is Mold?
Mold is a microscopic spore which travels in the air, and plays a much needed role in nature to breakdown dead plants and trees. However, when those airborne spores float into our homes and businesses it can cause damage to our property and endanger our health.
Although, we live and work in a naturally dry climate mold can still grow when we aren't keeping a close eye on areas where it can easily develop. To help prevent a bigger problem make sure to keep an eye on any of the following:
*Roof leaks (Especially during peak Monsoon months)
*Improperly vented clothing dryers
*Any small dark spaces such as Crawl Spaces, attics, etc.
*Plumbing Leaks
*HVAC Leaks
*Cooking Steam
*Overuse of Humidifiers
*Overwatering Plant beds or faulty soaker hoses
In order for mold to grow there must be three key elements present. There has to be a food source for the mold. This can be items such as leaves, wood, paper, and drywall. The nutrient combined with the airborne mold spores will then need both a dark space with consistent moisture levels to begin the mold growth cycle. This is why it is important to keep an eye on the above likely areas mold could infiltrate and develop.
If you see a small area of mold you can dry the area within 24-48 hours and wipe the area down with detergent and water. However, if you see a large area of mold and/or mold that is black in color, or mold that has grown inside of the walls, you will need to contact a professional mold remediation company such as Bio-One Tucson.
According to the EPA, mold can have dangerous impacts on your health if left without remediation. These health concerns include but are not limited to severe allergies, asthma attacks, skin rashes, and other severe respiratory complaints. It can even go as far as to digress into pneumonia. (Mayoclinic) In order to prevent the spread of mold in your home the EPA recommends a moisture level of 30-60% by reducing indoor humidity.
Dr. Michelle Neil-Sherwood of the Function Medical Institute advised that the 11 signs of possible mold related illness could be identified as:
1. Brain Fog, Memory Problems, Trouble Focusing & Headaches
2. Fatigue and Weakness
3. Unexplained Muscle Cramping, Aches and Pains in Joints, and Persistent Nerve Pain
4. Numbness and Tingling
5. Eye Problems (red eye/light sensitivity)
6. Asthma and Sinus problems (persistent cough/shortness of breath)
7. Tremors and Vertigo
8. Digestive issues (Diarrhea, Nausea, Abdominal Pain)
9. Metallic Taste in Mouth
10. Night Sweats
11.Excessive thirst/Increase in Urination
Dr. Neil-Sherwood advises that it can not only be the food we eat but also the air we breath that can make us sick. To learn more read her article here.

SEP 01, 2017 by PAUL MARVEL
Tonight Bio-One of Tucson received a phone call in the middle of the night from a mother who had just lost her adult aged son to suicide. He had lost his job due to the Covid-19 pandemic weeks ago and was silently struggling. Her story was tragic and unfortunately not unique, and when I was finished helping her schedule for us to provide immediate Biohazard services I hung up with tears in my eyes. Not only had she lost a son, but she also was facing the challenge of how to afford to pay for the services she needed to clean up the area left behind, and plan a funeral. It was heartbreaking, and a story that I had heard multiples times this past week from a wide range of our Tucson community. Mental Health affects all of us in this community, regardless of socio-economic status, ethnicity, orientation, or age.
Mental health professionals around the globe have expressed how the social isolation, economic and medial stress, and the barriers to in-person mental health care created by the current pandemic can cause "the perfect storm" when it comes to mental health. The Journal of American Medical Association wrote an an article that detailed the stressors that can be significant during this time https://www.cnbc.com/2020/05/12/coronavirus-crisis-creates-perfect-storm-for-suicide-risk-as-job-losses-soar-and-people-remain-isolated-at-home.html
Therefore I felt the imperative need to reach out to you and let you know that right now, more than ever it is important to check on those in your immediate circle of influence and reassure them that they are not alone. Check on your friends and family frequently, send cards to those isolated in nursing homes that can no longer have visitors, teleconference those that can not travel... you can make an impact on your circle.
Bio-One of Tucson provides the type of services that we hope our community homeowners and business owners never need to call us for. However, with our current environment, the number of active Corona Virus cases continues to increase along side the increasing number of unattended deaths occurring in the Tucson area. These circumstances cause individuals and businesses alike to face the need to be able to find affordable remediation solutions, and we are here to help you work through those challenges.
What Solutions Can I Communicate to Someone Who Experiences an Unattended Death?
Bio-One of Tucson experts strictly adhere to the to the stringent OSHA and CDC regulations surrounding the decontamination of and removal of biohazardous waste. When there is a large loss of blood or human decomposition it is especially imperative that these guidelines are followed stringently to properly disinfect the area and prevent further health risks to the surviving family, friends, and the public that may interact in those areas in the future.
When it comes to these services unfortunately the majority of the clean up costs are the burden of the homeowners or business owners. However, what many are unaware of is that for unattended death most Homeowners Insurance policies provide some type of of coverage. We urge you to call your insurance carrier and ask what coverages your policy provides to see if it might help ease that financial burden. Bio-One of Tucson is well experienced in working with insurance carriers to determine coverage, and is happy to work with homeowners to help identify what coverage they may be entitled too in order to help alleviate costs.
For those services that are not widely covered by insurance carriers such as Covid-19 disinfection services we can help provide third party financing options to help you afford what needs to be done to keep you safe.
We believe in the enormous heart of our Tucson community and their desire to take care of their families, friends, employees and the public. However, none of us planned for this pandemic, or can plan for an unattended death in our circle. These situations can be unexpected, and it's our aim to help provide resources to assist in navigating unchartered waters. If you, or someone you know, needs help answering these questions please give us a call at 520-771-5960 24 hours a day. We are here to help.
In the midst of COVID-19, it’s more important than ever for all of us to be paying special attention to our cleanliness, both at home and during our day-to-day activities. COVID-19, also known as Coronavirus, has been sweeping through our news cycles, and it’s beginning to impact us more and more every day. Arizonans have been told to stay home, save for essentials, and as we experience an unprecedented state of shutdown, it’s tempting to give into panic.
But before you start envisioning the worst possible outcome, take a moment to sit down, breathe, and listen to this good news: there’s a lot that you can do at home to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Indeed, while Coronavirus has inspired a wide amount of fear among the populace and provoked strong government responses, there’s some good news. COVID-19, at the end of the day, is pretty wimpy in the face of soap and water. If you apply the right cleaning agents, the virus molecules easily fall apart. Ergo, as long as you’re staying disinfectd and applying appropriate measures in your home, there’s a good chance that you can prevent its spread should you come in contact with it.
In this blog post, we’ll look at what you can do at home to combat Coronavirus, and what we’re doing here at Bio-One.
Keeping Your Home Clean From COVID-19
The reason why COVID-19 has provoked such a strong response is that it’s a sneaky little virus that spreads around while its host shows no symptoms. Most of the people who start showing the telltale fever have actually had it in their system for a week or two (according to current estimates), which means that you could potentially be exposed to the virus without even knowing it.
This means that you need to be extra proactive in keeping your home clean. Even if you have no reason to believe that family members or visitors have caught the virus, it’s possible that they could be spreading it around without showing symptoms. Instead of waiting around for the problem to happen, get ahead of it. Here are some things you can do to curb the spread of Coronavirus in your home:
Sanitize All Surfaces That Are Frequently Touched
While much research is still being done on COVID-19, current research suggests that it spreads in two ways — airborne transmission (similar to a cold or flu) and surface-to-surface contact. There’s not much you can do about the former, except for distancing yourself from carriers. But with the latter, you can stop the spread of germs by disinfecting surfaces where the virus may be dwelling.
Coronavirus is capable of surviving on various surfaces for different periods of time. The more solid and smooth the surface, the greater the likelihood of it sticking around. Here are some estimates of how long COVID-19 can dwell on various surfaces, based on current research:
As you can see, steel, plastic, and glass are the troublemakers here. COVID-19 can literally last for days if it makes contact with one of these surfaces, and all it takes for someone to catch it would be to touch the said surface (thus transferring some of the virus to their fingers) and then get it into their airways — something that is highly likely if you touch your face.
With that being said, here are some surfaces you should consider wiping down regularly:
Keep Your Phone Clean
While this could easily be lumped in with the point above, we believe it deserves its own special mention in this post, due to how glued we are to our phones every moment of the day.
Remember that bit above about how COVID-19 can survive on glass for up to four days? Yeah, that’s bad news, given that the overwhelming majority of smartphones have glass screens. Suppose one of your friends or family members has caught the virus, and you don’t even know it. Suppose you let them use your phone to snap a photo or show you a funny video. Now you’ve potentially got nasty COVID-19 molecules hanging out on the device that you carry around everywhere.
During this pandemic, it would be prudent to be careful about who you loan your phone to, even if it’s just for a moment. And, to be safe, you should wash it down at least once a day with soap and water. It’s important to be delicate — many phones aren’t waterproof, so you don’t want to overdo it. Disinfectant products and a slightly damp, lint-free cloth should do the trick, and good ol’ disinfectant wipes are also an option. You just want to make sure you’re not letting out too much liquid, if any at all — if anything gets into your phone’s internals, it could be the end of the line for your device. Be careful!
Wash, and then Disinfect
We’ve talked about cleaning the common surfaces of your home, but it’s important to know how. If, heaven forbid, somebody sneezes COVID-19 molecules all over your home, you need to be going about sanitization the right way.
Due to the nature of Coronavirus, it falls apart easily when exposed to normal soap, due to its lipid membrane layer. For DIY cleaning tasks, we recommend washing down surfaces with hot soapy water first. After you’ve done a few good passes, spray it or wipe it with a disinfectant product. To make things easy, the EPA has a comprehensive list of disinfectant products that are eligible to fight COVID-19.
The best practice is to leave the surface wet for the cleaning product’s recommended time. This allows the disinfectant to settle in and fight against any viral cells that might remain.
Wear Gloves
We confess that disinfectant gloves may be difficult to come by right now, joining the mythical ranks of toilet paper and hand disinfectr as products that are impossible to find in stores. But if you have any type of protective gloves, you’ll be better off wearing them while you clean.
It’s not like you have to put on protective gear and religiously wipe down every surface of your home every single day. But if you suspect you may have come into contact with someone who has the virus, it’s better to err on the side of caution.
What If My Home Has Been Exposed to COVID-19?
While we’ve outlined a list of general tips for keeping your home nice and disinfectd, these are all intended to be preventative measures just in case the virus might be spreading without you knowing. But if you’ve come into direct contact with someone who has been tested for the virus, you don’t want to take chances, especially if you have someone in your home who falls into one of the at-risk groups. In this kind of scenario, it would be wise to call a team of professionals to ensure that your home has been properly disinfected.
COVID-19 Cleaning Services in Tucson and Surrounding Areas
In many areas, all non-essential businesses have begun to shut down. But at Bio-One, we’re as essential as can be, due to our ability to thoroughly cleanse and disinfect areas that have been exposed to the virus. As a cleaning company that specializes in biohazards, we are uniquely equipped and trained to combat COVID-19. On days where we aren’t helping Tucson businesses and homeowners to clean up after the virus, we are doing other jobs such as blood spill cleanup, mold remediation, crime scene cleanup and more.
There is no cleaning method in the world that guarantees total and complete elimination of pathogens. But when you work with us, you’ve got the strongest fighting chance. We have been working around the clock to help protect Greater Tucson from the spread of Coronavirus. If your building has been exposed, we encourage you to give us a call today.
