Cleaning and disinfection after the death of a pet

All living beings are mortal and our pets are no exception. If your pet has died, it is necessary to carry out a thorough cleaning and disinfection. This is very important  because after death the body of the animal begins to decompose and emit poisonous odors, leaving traces that are difficult to remove. A more serious disinfection of the premises is needed if the death of a pet was caused by an infectious disease. It’s necessary to use biohazard cleaning services, which will do the cleaning and disinfection professionally.

Why it is necessary to disinfect the apartment after the death of a cat

One way or another, after a certain time every living organism begins to release a whole complex of carcinogenic compounds and bacteria in the form of gas that spreads throughout the premises and settles on surfaces. Touching dead animals and inhaling putrid odor leads to the poisoning through the respiratory tract and skin.

If the dead pet stays in the apartment or a house for a long period of time (more than three hours) body fluids begin to be released. They contain both a high concentration of cadaveric poison and are a breeding ground for putrefactive pathogenic bacteria.

Manual washing of the premises with detergents is not effective. Airing the room won’t help either because toxic deposits and bacteria will remain hard-to-reach places. In this case the help of biohazard cleaning services is a must.
