I quit banking to clean up crime scenes and homes where people have died. It can be absolutely horrific.
I took the plunge and started my own business. I have a team of eight people. They receive training from me in-house.trauma or"crime-scene" cleaningIf a job is small and urgent, like cleaning a house after someone's been stabbed, I work on it alone. I have different staff for different roles. Some are full time, while others are contracted to work in an emergency.
We normally work in three-hour stints before having a break. It's very physical work. Throughout the day you're lifting beds and using every part of your body to clean. When you wake up the next day, you feel like you've been to the gym.We wear personal protective equipment, or PPE, that is tailored to our faces at a fitting. While we're working, we can't really smell anything — but when we come out and take the PPE off, we realize the smell is now on us.
We have weekly one-to-one check-ins, and we always have a focus of the week, like trialing a new cleaning product.If someone had a very elderly grandparent who recently passed away, I wouldn't send them to clean a house that someone's passed away in.
