Sanitation
Death causes tissue decomposition and turns the body into a breeding ground for pathogenic germs, as well as a source of putrid smell. This poses a risk of contamination.
According to the medical research, dead tissue decomposition starts as early as 30 minutes after death. Statistically, a deceased person on the average stays at home about 2-3 hours before being taken to the morgue. During this time, decomposition intensifies drastically, which makes the residential space dangerous.
That’s why sanitation is a must in most cases. To avoid the risk, it is always advisable to have it done.
Non-specialist cleaning is not efficient and cannot eliminate all the health hazards. The premises need sanitation and odor removal, i.e. specialized treatment to remove infectious germs and toxins. In order to prevent a risk of contamination, the deceased person’s family need to have the premises sanitized.
Disinfectants
Various sprays, solutions, and reagents based on artificial and natural disinfectants are used. This range includes the latest IV-V Safety Class compounds, as well as mobile medical UV devices.

Medical disinfection of the premises
Residential space treatment after a person’s death takes 2 to 3 hours depending on the complexity and includes the following:
- Disinfect the focus, i.e. the spot where the body had been located, slits and cracks. Treatment intensity depends on how long the body had been in contact with the surface and/or objects, the temperature and humidity in the room.
- Examine floor/furniture and decide whether to treat or recycle them (fabrics, wood and many other materials strongly absorb the smell);
- General sanitizing with HealthMin approved sprays, solutions, and reagents;
- Find the residual odor sources, deodorize and ventilate the premises.
