Who cleans up suicide scenes?
Specialized biohazard cleanup crews do. They wear protective gear, remove affected materials, disinfect surfaces and treat odor. If you wonder how to clean up suicide scenes safely, the answer is to leave it to the crew. Relatives are advised not to clean the room themselves, because fluids can carry germs and the work is deeply upsetting.

It can be if the person was not found right away. Odor comes from fluids soaked into carpet, padding and subfloor, and sprays only cover it for a short time. The source must be removed and the air and structure treated.
