Crime Scene Cleanup Compensation

Crime scene cleaners use protective gear consisting of a whole body bio-hazard suit that covers every part of their body, and a respirator to avoid infection by pathogens or bio-hazardous materials found at every crime scene. They are equipped with heavy duty plastic bags that are used to collect the bio-hazardous material and cleaning equipment like mops and sponges, disinfectants, ionizer to remove the odors, knives and other scraping tools. They carry restoration tools which include sledgehammers, saws, spackle, paint brushes, cameras for video shooting the crime scene before and after the cleanup job and transportation for disposing off the waste. Crime scene cleaners are paid $100 to $600 an hour, based on the intensity of the crime and the volume of the bio-hazardous material found at the scene of the crime. In some cases, they may charge $1,000 to $3,000 for cleaning rooms with excessive blood and body remains.
