Cleaning Up After A Suicide And What To Expect

When suicide cleanup services are needed in a home, or on a property knowing what to expect can be an important step in the suicide scene cleanup process. Once a trauma cleaning provider of your choice has been employed they may ask you to leave the scene. The main reasons are for safety and not wanting to add any more emotional stress to your tragedy. In the case of a self-inflicted gunshot on a chair, sofa or bed mattress these items may need to be removed from the residence if a thorough cleaning cannot be completed.
