The Death Clean Up Process, Step by Step, in Haiku-Pauwela, HI

1. Assessment after release

Once authorities release the property, the cleanup team walks the area and notes where fluids and odor have spread. Photos and notes guide the plan.

2. Mapping the contamination

Fluids can travel under flooring and into walls. The team traces how far they went before deciding what to remove.

3. Disinfection and sealing

Cleaned surfaces are disinfected, and bare subfloor is sealed when needed to keep odor from returning.

4. Deodorizing and handback

Odor is treated at its source, the space is checked and the family or owner gets a walkthrough of the result.

What is considered an unattended death?

An unattended death is one where no one was with the person and they were not found for some time. It may be a few days or much longer. The term describes how the death was discovered, not the cause. Cleanup is needed because body fluids and odor may remain.

What happens to the carpet and furniture?
