How do you handle a residence with a decomposed body?

The smell from this type of event permeates into porous items. We follow this general practice:

  1. Clean up the biohazard where the trauma happened
  2. Have the next of kin remove items they want to keep from the home
  3. We haul away the remaining belongings
  4. Odor removal

Our odor removal equipment neutralizes the smell in the air not in the belongings so leaving the belongings there does not allow the smell to be eradicated.
