Suicide Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in South of Six, Detroit, MI

Can the home be cleaned out afterward?

Yes. Many families book an estate cleanout once the affected area is clean and safe. The crew sorts, removes and cleans the rest of the home. Ask whether one team can do both parts so timing stays simple.

Who cleans up suicide scenes?

Specialized biohazard cleanup crews do. They wear protective gear, remove affected materials, disinfect surfaces and treat odor. If you wonder how to clean up suicide scenes safely, the answer is to leave it to the crew. Relatives are advised not to clean the room themselves, because fluids can carry germs and the work is deeply upsetting.

What happens to personal belongings and keepsakes?

Photos, letters, jewelry and papers are set aside, cleaned when possible and returned to the family. Tell the team what to look for. Items that cannot be made safe are removed, and the team explains why.

I found someone at home. What do I do first?

Call 911 and leave the room. Do not touch anything. Once the authorities have finished and released the property, a cleanup team can take over. Be gentle with yourself, and know that 988 offers support by call or text if you need to talk.

Can I clean up after a suicide myself?

It is not recommended. Fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens, and soaked materials hold odor deep below the surface. Cleanup is also emotionally hard. A professional team protects your health and spares you from seeing the room.

Does a cleanup team replace grief counseling?

No. A cleanup team cleans the room and takes care of the physical aftermath. Grief is a separate and important matter. Counselors, faith leaders and support groups can help, and 988 is open to anyone in distress at any hour.
