Has a crime, an accident or an unattended death left a mess in Baraboo? Police and paramedics do not clean up afterward, so you need cleaners to remove blood, bodily fluids and contaminated materials. Call (877) 812-4220.
If anyone is in danger, call 911 first. For a suicide crisis, call or text 988.
Some messes cannot be handled with a mop and household cleaner. Blood, bodily fluids and decomposition soak into porous materials and can carry disease, which is why Baraboo property owners call Baraboo Biohazard Cleanup Help for biohazard cleaning.
Waiting makes biohazards harder to remove, because fluids keep soaking into flooring and odor keeps spreading through the home. Call at any hour, and a cleanup specialist will explain the next steps for Baraboo and the rest of Sauk County.
Renters live in about 37% of homes in Baraboo, so landlords and property managers often need to get cleanup done and sort out who pays with tenants and insurers. The census figure for older adults living alone in Baraboo is 38%, above the Wisconsin average. When someone lives alone, a death can go unnoticed for days, and unattended death cleanup follows.
Infectious materials call for infection control, not just cleaning. Biohazard remediation crews use respirators, gloves and disposable coveralls under the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030), then bag every contaminated item for proper disposal.
Cleaning removes soil, and disinfecting kills germs, so both steps happen. Crews use EPA-registered disinfectants and let them stay wet for the full contact time, then use air scrubbers to pull particles and odor out of the air.
