Our 7-Step Professional Lab Cleanup Process
IMMEDIATE RESPONSE
Upon receiving your call, we quickly arrive on-site, fully equipped for any type of lab cleanup in Chicago.
INITIAL ASSESSMENT
We begin by conducting a thorough inspection of your laboratory to identify areas requiring deep cleaning, potential hazards, and the most effective cleaning methods.
CONTAINMENT SETUP
We set up containment areas to prevent cross-contamination and ensure the cleaning process remains isolated from active lab operations.
WASTE DISPOSAL AND DISINFECTION
Hazardous materials are safely disposed of, and all affected areas, including air ducts, are thoroughly disinfected and sterilized.
HEPA VACUUMING AND SURFACE DISINFECTION
We use HEPA vacuums to remove dust and debris from floors, walls, and surfaces, followed by disinfecting workstations, equipment, and high-touch areas with approved solutions.
AIR SCRUBBING AND FOGGING
Our industrial air scrubbers and advanced fogging systems clean, disinfect, and deodorize the lab, ensuring optimal air quality and sanitation throughout.

FAQs
How is lab cleaning different than regular commercial cleaning?
Specialized lab cleaning services involves the use of advanced equipment including HEPA vacuums, air scrubber filtration and fogging systems.
What types of laboratories can be cleaned?
A wide range of business and institutional laboratories in Chicago can benefit from laboratory cleaning. This includes universities, healthcare organizations, research facilities and more, and both sterile and non-sterile labs.
Does your lab cleaning company provide adequate security assurances?
Yes. Our lab cleaning technicians are insured, bonded and industry certified. They understand the importance of on-site safety and security and strictly adhere to all OSHA and EPA regulations as well as established in-house protocols.
Why can’t I clean myself?
Laboratories often contain hazardous materials, including chemical spills, biohazards, and other contaminants that pose serious health risks, such as exposure to toxic substances or infectious pathogens. Improper cleaning methods can spread contamination, create unsafe environments, and violate safety regulations. Never attempt to clean a laboratory on your own—professional teams are trained to handle these hazards safely and effectively.
