Specialised cleaners in Northern Ireland and South Africa manage crime scenes and trauma sites for families after emergency services finish their work.
Northern Ireland company led by women
Alana Gillen runs the only female-owned firm in Northern Ireland that specialises in biohazard cleaning. She previously managed mansions for wealthy clients before shifting her focus to trauma scenes.
South Africa blood sisters team
Charleen Archibald works with her wife Sheridan as part of a group known locally as the blood sisters. They have been cleaning up crime and trauma locations for ten years alongside each other.
Role after emergency services finish
These individuals act as the final point of contact for families following duties by forensic teams. The work is often too dangerous or traumatic for regular cleaning services to perform.
