Death results in a fleeting change in the structure of the body, so disinfection after death is a necessary condition for maintaining a healthy indoor environment. The body of the deceased begins to decompose within half an hour after the cessation of life processes. In this case, cadaveric poison and pathogenic bacteria are released. After 2-3 hours, the decomposition process becomes active. Physiological fluid begins to be released from the body. Gradually a cadaverous smell appears. It is very corrosive, capable of saturating not only the bed, but also furniture, wallpaper, and floor coverings. The appearance of an obsessive odor indicates that bacteria have begun to spread intensively.

For Jur. persons
Relatives of a deceased person should seek the service of complete disinfection of the apartment at a licensed sanitary institution, which will help get rid of unpleasant factors. Organization of thorough sanitization becomes necessary if
- the deceased had lain in the apartment for more than 48 hours;
- a person has suffered from a serious illness, especially an infectious one, for a long time;
- the body of the deceased is kept in hot conditions before the funeral, which accelerates the decomposition processes;
- the deceased person was discovered a long time after death.
In such cases, cleaning the premises yourself will be ineffective. Toxic substances can only be removed with a professional approach. The premises should be sanitized as soon as possible using professional disinfectants and special equipment. It is possible that in some cases it will be necessary to destroy the deceased’s belongings and carry out repairs.
The causes of death may be different. The deceased is sometimes discovered due to the spread of miasma. Neighbors of a “problem” apartment should know that disinfection work does not cause harm to the residents of the entrance, but allows them to get rid of the unpleasant consequences and smell resulting from the death of a person
What methods are used for disinfection?
Professional disinfection after death is carried out using a whole arsenal of methods that are selected in accordance with the current situation. It is possible to restore the sanitary and hygienic conditions in the home after the apartment has been vacated by disinfection. The following methods can be used:
- high temperature exposure;
- boiling treatment;
- use of ultrasound;
- exposure to ultraviolet radiation;
- the use of biological filters and biochambers for processing things;
- chemical exposure to special compounds and gases in the area where the deceased lived.
"Sanitary and Epidemiological Station Moscow" uses high-tech methods and productive modern drugs. Let's consider the features of some procedures.
Air ozonation
Ozonation allows you to get rid of the cadaverous smell. The use of ozone is completely justified. This gas, unlike chlorine-containing drugs and formaldehyde, does not harm the environment and is safe for people and pets. Ozone is released from the air through a special apparatus and distributed throughout the room using a pump.
This method not only removes the terrible smell from the air, but also gets rid of it from things in the room.
Irrigation of the premises
Irrigation of the area after death is carried out by spraying a disinfectant through a pump apparatus. The substance, which is sprayed over every centimeter of area, does not harm the objects on which it settles. There is no unpleasant odor left after the procedure. However, the humidity level in the apartment will be noticeably increased, which will require preliminary de-energization of electrical appliances and subsequent ventilation of the room.
This method does not require much time. But it can only be used in rooms where there is not a lot of furniture.
Using hot fog
If the apartment is densely packed with furniture, use hot fog, which can penetrate hard-to-reach places. Hot fog is produced using a special generator. This method is considered the most productive for processing an apartment after the death of a person.
The components contained in the hot fog eliminate the effects of cadaveric poison and the resulting bacteria and free the room from unpleasant odors.
Application of complex processing
If the consequences of a person’s death can spread to adjacent rooms, comprehensive disinfection is required. In this case, processing is carried out in stages.
- The stage of irrigation of the area in the apartment where the person died.
- Spraying hot mist into hard-to-reach areas.
This organization of sanitization will be most effective if a large room is zoned with partitions or is heavily crowded with furniture.
Comparison of traditions of cleaning the room after removing the dead in other religions and among atheists
Cleaning the floor is extremely important, even when the deceased did not believe in God. At the same time, the meaning of the custom remains the same, because joining the faith or its denial does not affect the Divine laws that have existed for a long time; they will continue to operate in the future. Sweeping or washing the floor after the deceased makes it easier to say goodbye and let go of memories of the death of the deceased.
A Muslim will not clean the floor after a funeral. This is due to the fact that those who profess Islam do not commemorate the dead and do not follow many other Christian customs. They do the cleaning, but later. It is believed that for the first 7 days after a tragic event, nothing should be taken out of the house.
Disinfection of the premises on your own
When deciding to clean the room yourself after the death of a relative, you should remember that ventilation and wet cleaning will only reduce the concentration of pathogenic substances, but will not get rid of them completely. Putrid decay can continue if pipe substances have seeped into furniture or walls and floors. Toxic substances can cause serious harm to the health of people in the premises. It is unlikely that you will be able to get rid of ingrained odor using household products.
Cleaning a smelly room yourself can cause poisoning of the body, which will manifest itself as nausea, vomiting, and headache.
Cleaning and self-disinfection is effective only in the case of a short-term stay of the deceased person in the apartment.
According to experts, it is recommended that when cleaning a house on your own after a deceased person, you do the following types of work:
- Prepare and use rubber gloves, safety glasses, a respirator and a special gown during the process;
- Organize active ventilation by opening balcony doors and windows. This requirement is mandatory, regardless of the time of year. Fresh air must be available for at least 12 hours.
- Get rid of the bed or sofa on which the corpse lay. It is practically impossible to clean them of harmful bacteria during cleaning. Even if at first it seems that everything is in order, the return of the unpleasant odor is possible after some time. Remaining bacteria will cause a pathogenic process.
- Throw away all unnecessary things that have already absorbed the cadaverous smell.
- Bedspreads and bed linen should be boiled if possible or washed using the hottest water setting.
- Carpets and upholstered furniture are cleaned using an aqueous vinegar solution and then left to air.
- All surfaces must be wiped with a “Whiteness” solution
Disinfection after the death by one’s own efforts is considered productive if no decomposition process has occurred and the body has lain in the house for no more than 2 days.
Floors
The floors are washed immediately after the deceased is removed. It is believed that if they are not washed, the deceased will find his way home. He will not only come, but in a dream he will be able to take with him the other one he loved most.
To prevent more troubles from happening, you need to know how to wash the floors after a deceased person.
Pregnant women should not do this.
Cleaning brings negativity not only to the mother, but also to the fetus .
How to properly wash floors after removing a dead person:
- Ritual washing begins from the threshold and walls.
- No need to use detergents. It is better to add a little vinegar to a bucket of water to eliminate the unpleasant odor at the same time. You can also use essential oil.
- Washing is carried out from the far corners of the room to the front door. When you approach the place where the coffin with the deceased stood, put down the ax. A sign that there will be no more deaths in the house.
- They finish washing the floors in the place where the coffin stood.
Used water should be poured into the toilet. Throw away the rag and mop. They are immediately taken away from the house.
If by chance you forgot about this, you can send the spirit of the deceased away by sweeping. In some homes, this is the only custom that is encouraged. The broom is thrown away.
If you forgot about cleaning, you remembered when you arrived at the cemetery, do the following: let a stranger enter the house and cross the path inside with brooms.
This ancient ritual has long been forgotten. After such a ceremony, everyone who came to say goodbye can go to the house of the deceased.
What to do before processing
Calling SES specialists for disinfection is the right decision in cases where the deceased has been in the apartment for a long time.
- The sanitary and epidemiological station employee will first determine the method for cleaning the premises.
- After this, the deceased’s belongings need to be sorted out in the room. Throw away everything unnecessary. Pieces of furniture with which the deceased came into contact must also be disposed of. If you don’t want to do this yourself, you can entrust this part of the work to SES employees.
- You should not sweep in an infected room to prevent bacteria from spreading into the air. Only wet cleaning needs to be done. Surfaces must be wiped with a wet cloth.
- To ensure that the active substances get around during sanitization, it is advisable to move the furniture out of the corners.
- After a corpse has been left for a long time, the liquid released during the decomposition process penetrates the floor covering, bringing with it a terrible odor. In this case, the floor covering will have to be removed.
- Pack personal items and food in sealed bags.
- Remove pets and leave yourself before starting work.
- Meet the specialist at the agreed time and arrange access to the apartment.
Why is it better to hire professionals?
Cleaning an apartment after the death of a person differs from the usual complex and thorough sanitary treatment. As a rule, cleaning of the premises should be carried out by specialists who work in funeral homes or companies specializing in cleaning - these are professional cleaners who know first-hand all the intricacies of the procedure.
Cleaning the premises should be carried out by specialists
In Russia, unlike Europe, this method has not yet been adopted, and if grief occurs in a family and a person passes away, relatives unanimously help each other and do not use the services of agencies of this kind, considering this matter intimate and personal.
It is necessary to treat walls and cracks with an antiseptic to prevent the spread of infection
It is also beneficial to use the services of professional cleaners because they have special equipment that can eliminate the cadaverous odor and destroy bacteria in the shortest possible time.

What to do after treatment
The duration of disinfection depends on the chosen treatment method. After completing the work, you must follow the instructions of the Moscow Sanitary and Epidemiological Station specialist.
Cleaning after treatment can be carried out by SES workers. They will ventilate and vacuum the floor covering.
You can do subsequent cleaning yourself. But psychologically it will be much more comfortable to enter a completely cleaned home. This part of the work will also be performed by SES workers by agreement. After final cleaning, furniture, curtains, and carpets are returned to their places. Sanitation after the deceased is considered completed.
Personal protection rules
Modern approaches make some rituals easier. Floors are washed using rubber gloves. Water absorbs not only possible pollution and dust, but also negativity, fears, and despair experienced by a person on the verge of death and his loved ones. Such water should not be allowed to fall on a person after cleaning. Of course, he can wash it off with a thorough shower, but as noted, regular rubber gloves will make the job easier.
Windows should be opened during and after cleaning. This is beneficial energetically, and is also recommended for medical purposes, since ventilation is one of the best ways to disinfect rooms.
Professional help from SES
Professional disinfection in Moscow is carried out in accordance with a plan that is agreed upon with the relatives of the deceased. The process includes a preliminary inspection of the room and the selection of adequate means and methods for treatment, and a convenient time is negotiated. The scope of work is being specified. At the client’s request, the company’s employees can not only perform complete disinfection, but also dispose of the deceased’s belongings and dismantle unsuitable floor coverings.
A disinfection specialist will arrive on site with the necessary equipment and a set of protective equipment. High-quality disinfection and deodorization of the place will be carried out. All surfaces and furniture will be cleaned of bacteria and corpse odor. If desired, not only the room of the deceased, but also the entire living area can be disinfected.
During the sanitation process, substances that have been certified and approved from a safety point of view are used.
Disinfectors work professionally and quickly. The whole process takes about an hour. After ventilation, the room is ready for further use.
By entrusting the hard work of cleaning an apartment after the death of a person to professionals, clients save their own effort and time and avoid the danger of poisoning.

The church’s opinion on cleaning: how it helps both the grieving and the deceased
The procedure for cleaning the floor of the deceased is welcomed by the church. But its basis is different. It is different from the vision of the pagans. Thus, washing the floor is a necessary part of saying goodbye, but not to the body of the deceased, but to his soul. It is believed that this will help to quickly forget the moments of the funeral.

User comments
Washing floors after a deceased person is a very old tradition. Previously, the floor was not washed, but swept to sweep away all troubles, illnesses and death. It was believed that in this case, death would not be able to return to the house, since there would be no traces of its presence.
Read the article about this and calm down, almost all the signs are related to maximum disinfection in old houses with earthen floors, so that the people who lived there simply do not get sick.
I don’t know any signs at all, except that the mirror is covered and that’s it
Breaking up is the most difficult thing everyone faces after the death of a loved one. It’s hard to deal with this alone; it’s better to ask friends for help or call a cleaning company.
Cleaning up after death is a specific task and requires a special approach. After it, there should be no unpleasant odors or stains on household items in the apartment.
Apartment cleaning
In order to make a room safe for people, disinfestation is sometimes required - the removal of insects attracted by decaying flesh. Complete disinfection is only possible with the use of ultraviolet lamps.
The cleanliness of furniture is achieved by removing sources of odors from it using specialized preparations that are not available for sale in ordinary hardware stores. The main difficulty is that contaminants can penetrate into the structure of porous materials in such a way that surface treatment will not be sufficient.
Cleaning service specialists perform their work professionally, quickly, and in accordance with clear instructions. If you smell a specific smell after being in the apartment of a corpse, you are unlikely to be able to get rid of it by ordinary ventilation, wet cleaning and washing the bed linen.
