1. Initial Hazard Assessment
We begin with a thorough walk-through of the affected area, performing a comprehensive safety hazard assessment in compliance with New Zealand’s health and safety regulations.
2. Establishing Control and Containment
Using cross-contamination protocols, we secure the affected area to prevent the spread of contaminants. We set up a control room if necessary to create a clean environment for our technicians to enter and exit without spreading contaminants.
3. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Our team wears all appropriate PPE, including liquid and airtight suits, gloves, respirators, eye goggles, and face shields to protect against exposure. By strictly adhering to PP protocols we ensure the safety of both our technicians and the public.
4. Identification and Removal
We meticulously identify all biohazards, starting with the primary sources and expanding to any secondary areas affected. We carefully remove unsalvageable items and all visible traces of hazardous materials. This step is critical as it involves handling the most dangerous aspects of the cleanup.
5. Cleaning, Disinfecting, and Deodorising
We use industry-standard disinfectants to clean and deodorise all affected surfaces. Our team ensures that no trace of the biohazard remains, paying special attention to areas that are not immediately visible, such as beneath carpets, behind walls, and within ventilation systems.
6. Testing
After cleaning, we use advanced testing technology to verify that hospital-level disinfection standards are achieved. Final touches include testing under wallpaper and flooring and using UV light sources to sanitise air. This step guarantees that all harmful pathogens and contaminants have been effectively eliminated, ensuring the area is safe for reoccupation.
7. Safe Disposal of Biohazardous Waste
All biohazard materials are disposed of according to New Zealand’s strict regulations. We ensure that waste is handled responsibly, eliminating the risk of further contamination or potential legal issues.
By following this comprehensive step-by-step process, Specialised Cleaning Solutions ensures that every biohazard is thoroughly addressed, creating a safe and clean environment for reoccupation.

We’re the go-to choice for accident cleanups nationwide but don’t just take our word for it. Here are two case studies from clients whose workplaces and homes have gained a sense of normalcy after using our services.
The Challenge
In early 2023, we were called to the site of a manufacturing facility on the outskirts of Auckland. A forklift accident resulted in the rupture of a container holding industrial solvents, leading to the rapid spread of hazardous materials throughout their warehouse. The damage resulting from the spill was twofold: first, it meant workers could no longer operate due to potential health risks and secondly, the warehouse was situated near a river. This meant without swift action the company would steadily lose profits and risk contaminating the surrounding environment.
Our Solution
Fortunately, the Specialised Cleaning Solutions team arrived on-site within an hour of the incident report. We conducted a swift yet thorough hazard assessment to identify the types of chemicals involved and the extent of the contamination.
We then contained the spill, using barriers and absorbent materials to prevent environmental pollution. After identifying the chemicals, we applied neutralising agents to the affected surfaces to render them harmless and prevent any further chemical reactions that could pose additional risks.
We ensured all surfaces, including floors, walls, and equipment, were free from any residual chemicals and conducted testing to verify that the decontamination was successful and that the area was safe for workers to return. The facility was able to resume operations within 48 hours of the incident. No employees were harmed during the process or their return to work, and the risk of environmental contamination was fully mitigated.
The Challenge
In early 2024, a case of unattended death was reported in a residential building in Wellington. The body had been undiscovered for over a week, leading to significant decomposition and contamination of the apartment. The incident posed a potential health risk to other residents in the building due to the presence of bodily fluids and the potential for airborne pathogens.
Our Solution
Our team quickly arrived on the scene and performed a detailed assessment to understand the specific biohazard materials we were working with. We established a containment zone to isolate the affected apartment and prevent cross-contamination to other parts of the building, ensuring the safety of neighbours.
We carefully removed all biohazardous materials, including bodily fluids and any contaminated items, from the apartment. This involved the removal of carpeting, furniture, and personal belongings that were too contaminated to salvage. Enzyme solutions were used to break down and eliminate biological matter. After the initial removal, we performed a deep clean of the entire apartment, including all surfaces, using high-grade disinfectants to ensure thorough sanitisation and deodorisation.
We worked closely with the property owner to restore the apartment to a habitable condition, including replacing damaged drywall and flooring. The owner was particularly impressed with our discretion and meticulous approach during a very distressing situation.
The duration of a cleanup job varies depending on the severity and extent of the contamination. Our team works diligently, often through the night, to ensure the area is thoroughly cleaned and safe for reoccupation as quickly as possible.
Biohazard cleanup involves significant health risks and must comply with strict regulations. Improper handling can lead to exposure to dangerous pathogens and legal penalties. Professional cleaners have the necessary training, equipment, and protective gear to safely manage and dispose of biohazards.
Proper cleanup eliminates the risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens and other biohazards, which can transmit serious diseases such as Hepatitis B and C, HIV, and various respiratory and neurological conditions.
