How To Rid Your Home Of Cigarette Smoke Odors
Getting rid of cigarette smoke odors is one of the toughest smells to tackle. Due to the nature of smoke and how it can permeate through surfaces, infiltrate the mechanics of things and linger for years - this is not a task suited for the typical house cleaner.
Bio-One is one of the few companies here in Alabama who are licensed, trained and able to tackle any smoke odor removal job - no matter how tough.
Some basics to know: First, you probably will not be able to rid the smell yourself - save your frustration and hire a professional. Second, expect the professionals to do more than just wipe down your walls. Depending on the severity of the job, Bio-One and others may have to clean all surfaces with chemical, chemically fog your home, treat your home with ozone, take apart things like ceiling fans to clean inside, seal your walls with primer and repaint - or many other techniques that may be required.
Don't worry, it isn't impossible to rid your home of this odor, but just be prepared for it to be timely and somewhat complicated. Bio-One is here to help you with this process, and won't let you down or unnecessarily overcharge you like many competitors will.

How To Clean A Vehicle After A Deadly Car Accident
Car accidents are unfortunate, and unfortunately very common. After such an accident results in the death or injury of one or more of its passengers, a proper cleanup must be done to achieve complete decontamination.
As a biohazard cleanup company, we get called quite often by collision centers, insurance companies, car rental companies, etc about this type of cleanup. These companies know we handle such extreme cleanups like crime scenes, suicides, decomposition and hoarding, and they trust us to handle the cleanups of their vehicles throughout Alabama.
Working with insurance (if we can) to avoid any out of pocket, we approach the cleanup after a car accident like any other cleanup job. We use proprietary chemical to treat, remove and decontaminate all blood and biohazards from the seats, flooring, dashboards and all services, without causing any damage or discoloration to the components and materials.
If necessary, we may need to remove seats, carpet, door panels, etc to clean underneath and in areas where fluids seeped through the cracks and crevices. Some items of the vehicle may need to be disposed of and replaced, but we do our best to ensure the minimum expense necessary while achieve absolute decontamination.
If you or anyone you know is ever faced with this situation, call Bio-One at 256-677-6111. With offices in Huntsville and Birmingham, we are here to service your needs throughout North and Central Alabama.
The Top 5 Crime Scene Cleaning Companies in Alabama
When faced with the traumatic and impossible task of cleaning up after the death of a loved one, choosing the right after-death cleaning company is a necessary but sometimes challenging task.
Oftentimes the most effective way to find out about the most trusted and local company is to ask the police or sheriff's investigator, or coroner. However, if that isn't an option, searching on the internet is likely your only other alternative.
There are some things to look for when choosing a company to clean up after a homicide, suicide, accidental death, unattended death and/or decomposition.
First, make sure they are professional, certified and insured.
Second, check to see if the biohazard cleanup company is local to you. In doing your online searches, you will notice that many companies appear to be local, but are actually several states away from you, and dispatch temporary strangers to your home.
Third, check out what the company actually specializes in. Many restoration and remediation companies will perform, or advertise that they will perform postmortem cleanup services, but sometimes that means they aren't experienced, aren't certified or will be much more expensive.
Here in Alabama, there are definitely some great companies to consider when you are unfortunately faced with that situation. Bio-One is one of them, and are here to help you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Bio-One is local to Alabama with offices in Birmingham and Huntsville, and are professional, certified and insured, and specialize in biohazard cleanup services. Bio-One works with your homeowner's insurance so you won't have to worry financially in your time of loss. And, Bio-One cares about you and your situation, and will ensure our job is done right, and make your life a little more normal under the circumstances.

Who Cleans Up After A Suicide Occurs?
It's not a question most people need an answer for, nor hope to ever ponder - but for those who have experienced a suicide in their family, it is all too relevant.
When a loved one takes their own life, and especially if done with a firearm, their grieving family is left to clean up the event where it took place. Many people may assume law enforcement takes care of the clean up - but they don't.
Because of this, the family is essentially forced to compound more trauma on top of trauma by enduring the task of cleaning up a situation like that. The one fact that many people aren't aware of though, is that homeowner's insurance almost always covers this type of clean up. This means that for only a deductible, or no cash out of pocket at all, the family can get it cleaned up by professionals and don't need to take on that task themselves.
Aside from the obvious benefits this brings to the wellbeing of the loved ones, having a licensed and experienced Bio and Trauma cleaning company doing this for you ensures your home a bacteria-free, blood borne pathogen-free, safe environment where you can move on and grieve without any additional angst.
Who cleans up after a suicide in Alabama? Bio-One is the most experienced bio cleanup company in the state. With offices in Huntsville and Birmingham, Bio-One is here to help you get your life back together and allow you to start grieving without worrying about the details. Bio-One is licensed and experienced in the cleanup of suicide, homicide, blood spills/accidents, biohazards, mold remediation, decomposition, bodily fluid, feces & urine, odor removal and many others.

How To Properly Clean Up Blood Stains & Blood Spills
Blood is one of those substances that when spilled on something, most people don't know what to do. Chocolate, red wine, ink - these usually fall into the same category. Cleaning up blood spills however is a special task that should be treated seriously, since blood harbors bloodborne pathogens can be potentially harmful to you and your family.
Though there are many products on the market that probably can get the blood stains out, there are really only a couple that work effectively, and work to kill any potential bacteria, diseases, pathogens, etc that may be present in the blood. Hydrogen peroxide is one such solution that is highly recommended, inexpensive, and effective at getting rid of the stains and potentially killing the pathogens. However, depending on what you are applying the peroxide to, and what color your carpet/upholstery/etc is, the peroxide may permanently damage or discolor it.
Another tried and true solution is utilizing a form of bacterial enzyme cleaner on the blood stain or spill. This type of cleaning agent is highly effective at ridding blood stains at the molecular source, and does not have any potential for fabric staining.
Blood stains and especially blood spills can stain your carpet, ruin your clothing and damage your furniture - but most importantly, can be hazardous to your health. A perfectly healthy person may harbor an unknown pathogen in their blood that may be harmful to you. Make sure you clean any blood from your home correctly, and if you are unsure about what to do, or how to properly protect yourself against pathogens, please call a local professional to help you.
Here at Bio-One, we specialize in not only cleaning up but killing what is in the blood. We will clean it up properly the first time, and are bloodborne-pathogen training certified to know what to look for, and to make sure your home is safe. We are trained in not only cleaning up blood, but cleaning up after a homicide, suicide, accidental deaths, decomposition, biohazards, hoarding, feces/urine/bodily fluid and many others.

Losing a loved one in an accident is incomprehensibly painful. The seeming unfairness and randomness of the moment is almost impossible to accept at first as grieving friends and family members try to rationalize what happened. They often feel guilty for not doing enough to prevent the death despite the fact that the incident was entirely out of their control. But nobody can prepare for the sudden and unexpected. Accidental deaths are by definition unnatural and unintentional. They include slips and falls, traffic accidents, poisonings, accidental weapon wounds, drownings, fire injuries, head traumas, industrial accidents, choking deaths, explosions, and natural disasters. Fatal accidents have always been a leading cause of death in America. But unfortunately, they are becoming more common.
According to the non-profit National Safety Council, accidental deaths increased 96 percent over the last 25 years. Though they decreased significantly between 1950 and 1980, fatal accidents have been growing rapidly since the mid-1990s.Despite our innovation in creating safer technologies, today’s rate of 52.2 deaths per 100,000 people hasn’t been seen since the mid-1970s. Now, accidents are the number one leading cause of death for people aged 1 to 44, according to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For all demographics, they are the third leading cause of death nationwide, with 169,936 deaths reported by the CDC in 2017.
While researchers have not reached a consensus on why accidental deaths are increasing, the NSC points to three trends to explain the rise, including increases in poisonings, motor vehicle deaths and falls among older adults. All of these injuries are preventable, they say, arguing on their website that institutions “have not consistently prioritized safety at work, at home and on the road”. Poisonings, the leading unintentional injury among CDC data, increased 11 percent between 2016 and 2017 . The NSC attributes the growth to the opioid crisis, which claimed the lives of 47,000 Americans in 2017 .
To put the CDC data into perspective, 466 people die from accidental injuries every day The number of friends and family members affected by the death of a loved one is even higher, resulting in an ever-growing community of people who must find ways to manage their grief. Bio-One works with these families every day to facilitate their steps towards recovery.
When fatal accidents happen, we dedicate our resources to helping families restore their home or business in a safe, private and efficient manner. Because first responders do not decontaminate crime scenes after they respond to a call, we step in to ensure that families are not exposed to disease and other dangers. Crime scenes harbor harmful bloodborne pathogens that contaminate the immediate area, leaving everyone on the property vulnerable to Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Our licensed technicians use powerful, environmentally safe chemicals to thoroughly disinfect the area so you can rest assured that your family will be safe. We work with an appreciation for your valuables and will replace furnishings if need be. In hoarding situations, we remove clutter that may present a danger to other inhabitants, including feces and other biological waste.
When you give us a call at your local Bio-One office, we’ll immediately connect you with a representative that will address your unique situation. Because we value your time during this difficult moment, a team will be dispatched to your home or business within an hour to complete the service. When they arrive, they’ll come in unmarked vehicles to safeguard your privacy. Our team approaches their work with the sensitivity it demands and endeavors to address your needs with the compassion it deserves. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We are on standby 24/7/365.
We often forget about the people left behind in the wake of a homicide. News stories reveal who died but often fail to identify how their death impacts their loved ones. When someone is murdered, their family, friends and significant others endure one of the most traumatic experiences that anyone can face. These survivors are some of the least researched crime victims in America, and they are everywhere. According to the most recent FBI data, 16,214 Americans were murdered in 2018. For every one of those individuals an average of 7 to 10 relatives were severely impacted, according to an estimate by Lu Redmond, a homicide grief expert.
If the murder rate remains consistent, Redmond’s estimate means between 113,000 and 162,000 Americans will become homicide survivors each year. That’s in addition to the pool of survivors who already lost loved ones in previous years. Though the lack of research makes it impossible to quantify how many total homicide survivors there are in America, the number is high enough to warrant concern for how they are treated by health professionals.
For survivors, the grieving process is almost impossible to endure. Though loved ones will grieve in different ways depending on their relationship with the victim, the loss is shocking, unimaginable and absolute. They never had a chance to say goodbye to their loved one, and the plans they both shared will never come to fruition. This realization may be sudden. In some cases, it may take years. Some survivors find it difficult to accept a loved one’s death at first, resulting in a delayed reaction that is triggered by a situation that reminds them of the victim. According to the National Center of Victims of Crime, grief symptoms include shock, disbelief, numbness, changes in appetite and sleeping patterns, difficulty concentrating, anger, confusion, increased anxiety and fear. Financial loss, depression and family conflict are also common symptoms.
Discovering a murdered loved one in the home can trigger post traumatic stress disorder. After the first responders leave the scene, some survivors may feel compelled to clean up the aftermath themselves. Confused that the paramedics don’t complete this work, they may think the cleanup process is their responsibility and act immediately. After all, they want to restore the scene as quickly as possible. Operating in a state of shock, they’ll remove the blood stains, body tissue and contaminated materials from the home without recognizing the threat to their physical and mental health. In addition to exposing their body to dangerous bloodborne pathogens, survivors may experience traumatic flashbacks of the experience in the future and suffer from heightened anxiety and emotional numbness. These PTSD symptoms prolong the recovery process, making it even more difficult for survivors to cope with their new lives.
Bio-One works with communities across the nation to avoid this outcome. We employ certified technicians that respond to scenes of violent crime and clean up dangerous biohazards that pose a threat to you and your family. When we receive a request for our services, we’ll send a team to the job site within an hour to assess your situation and perform a comprehensive cleaning solution that restores the property. Our powerful, environmentally friendly chemicals eradicate harmful pathogens that spread Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV, giving you assurance that you will be safe long after the area is decontaminated. We’ll dispose of the infected materials that cannot be salvaged and replace flooring and other furnishings if we need to. Once the area is thoroughly cleaned, we’ll return it to its pre-incident state so you can focus on recovering.
We conduct this work because we want to help people who have been left to deal with a difficult, painful task. That’s why our company motto is “Help first, business second.” We don’t ask for payment until after the job is complete because we want to remove the safety threat from your home as quickly as you do. Every person on our team will arrive on-site with an understanding of the trauma you are going through and a respect for your privacy and personal needs. Contact your local Bio-One office today and we’ll immediately connect you with a representative that can assist you. We are available 24/7/365.
