Take Care of the Essentials First
If authorities are involved, let them complete their work and release the scene before anything is touched. There is no need to rush the cleanup — your safety and wellbeing come first.
Please Don't Clean It Yourself
Biological material can carry pathogens that ordinary cleaners don't eliminate, and the task can be deeply re-traumatizing. This is exactly the kind of situation certified professionals are trained and equipped to handle.
