Cleaning up after an unattended death is not as simple as removing the body and wiping down the surfaces. A specialised industrial clean and home restoration is required to ensure the safety and cleanliness of the premises. At Mrs Muscle Cleaning, we provide thorough forensic cleaning services in Melbourne. Our team is highly trained in crime scene clean up, ensuring that every aspect of the affected area is meticulously cleaned, disinfected, and deodorised.
Our Forensic Cleaning Process
Initial Assessment
Once the local police and emergency services have been notified and the premises are secured, our team conducts a thorough assessment to determine the extent of the biohazard.
Disinfection and Decontamination
We use specialised trauma cleaning services to disinfect and decontaminate the area, addressing any hazardous substances, including infectious agents and harmful gases like ammonia and hydrogen sulfide
Biohazard Removal
Our biohazard cleaners are equipped to safely remove any contaminated materials, including fluids and other biohazards that may have seeped into furnishings or structures.
Deodorisation
We ensure that all unpleasant odours are eliminated, restoring the premises to a safe and sanitary condition
Restoration
Our goal is to restore the space to a state where loved ones can grieve and begin the healing process. We take every measure to ensure the premises are safe and habitable.

Common Risks Associated with Unattended Deaths
Some of the most significant risks include:
- Infectious agents, such as hepatitis, covid-19, and viral hemorrhagic fevers can remain present and active in decaying matter, so correct precautions need to be taken even when the body has already been cleared away.
- Harmful gases, such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, are naturally released after death, and exposure to these gases can cause respiratory complications.
- Fluids containing active pathogens released from a body after death can seep into hard and soft furnishings and remain present after the body has been removed, and these fluids can be hard to spot.
- An unattended death can attract insects such as flies and cockroaches, who lay their eggs at the scene and cause further contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is forensic cleaning, and how does it differ from regular cleaning services?
Forensic cleaning involves the removal and decontamination of biohazards, such as blood, bodily fluids, and other potentially infectious materials, following traumatic events like unattended deaths, crime scenes, or accidents.
Unlike regular cleaning, forensic cleaning requires specialised training, equipment, and adherence to strict safety protocols to ensure the area is thoroughly sanitised and safe for future use.
How quickly can your forensic cleaners respond to an emergency?
We understand the urgency of forensic cleaning situations and strive to respond as quickly as possible. Once you contact us, we aim to have our team on-site within a few hours, depending on the location and the specific circumstances of the job.
Are your forensic cleaning services confidential?
Yes, confidentiality is a top priority for us. We handle every case with the utmost discretion and respect for your privacy. Our team operates with sensitivity, ensuring that all details of the situation remain confidential.
Do I need to prepare anything before your team arrives for forensic cleaning?
There’s no need for you to prepare anything before our arrival. Our forensic cleaners are fully equipped to handle all aspects of the cleaning process. We do, however, recommend that you secure the area and avoid disturbing the scene until our team arrives to prevent further contamination or hazards.
What happens to the items that cannot be cleaned or restored?
In cases where certain items are too contaminated or damaged to be safely cleaned and restored, our team will securely dispose of them following all local regulations and guidelines. We will consult with you before disposing of any personal belongings to ensure transparency and respect for your wishes.
I have just discovered an unattended death - what do I do next?
If you are the person who discovered the scene, we must stress that it is of utmost importance that you contact the relevant emergency services without delay. The coroner and (if necessary) police officers will need to attend first and foremost to safely remove the body. The next step will be to secure the premises, which will eliminate the risk of exposure to biohazardous toxins or unexpected trauma to those not safely equipped to enter, eg. family members or neighbours.
How does the cleanup process work?
Cleaning up after an unattended death is not as simple as removing the body and wiping down the surfaces. A specialised industrial clean and home restoration is what is required. At Mrs Muscle Cleaning, our highly qualified and trained team ensure that every part of the premises is thoroughly disinfected, cleaned, and deodorised with the highest quality certified products and equipment. Where necessary, we can remove porous and semi-porous materials and soft furnishings, and we are also qualified in the safe removal of biohazardous materials, sharps, and residue from drug contaminants.
