Historically, crime scene cleanup has usually been done by the victim's family. For many, facing the ghastly scene of such personal trauma was too much to bear and had lasting effects. In addition, scientific advancements in the 20th century have raised concerns over exposure to bloodborne pathogens and chemical residue. The need for trained technicians has given way to Bio-One being one of the nation’s leading crime scene clean up companies.
Recently, one of our crime scene cleanup technicians commented, “We never know what we’re going to walk in to, so we go in with the mindset that we're there to help and we’ll do whatever it takes to get that family and their home back in order. It’s really the only way you can handle the things we see and touch”.
Our work is done in honorable silence and we keep it as discreet as we can. If there were a suicide or homicide in your neighborhood, it’s true that you would want to know. However, the details are not for everyone and we certainly want to respect the privacy of such delicate matters for the family members.
This job is not for everyone because the work can be both physically and emotionally taxing. On the other hand, it is one of the most rewarding professions one can do. There truly are jobs that make us lose our faith in humanity but then, when the work is complete and the family members cannot thank us enough for helping them, I realize why I personally am in this business and why our employees are so dedicated.
At Bio-One St. George, our mantra is helping first, business second, and we mean it. We are always professional, discreet and compassionate and treat you like we’d like to be treated. To set up your free estimate or if you just have questions you need answered, call Bio-One St. George today. We’re available 24/7 to help you.

The Holidays seem to bring out the giving spirit in all of us. With the pandemic presenting a very different season in 2020, this New Year’s Eve we’d like to take a quick look at where we’ve been and what all of us can do in 2021.
At Bio One, our mantra is “Help First, Business Second”; this means that we are focused on serving the community 24/7. We know first-hand the incredible effect that one act of kindness can do for someone in need. It’s what we do! The giving spirit is in all of us and this was quite evident in 2020 as so many paid their respects to the tireless efforts of our First Responders. With over 1000 pies and cookies delivered by Bio-One St George to our police, fire, and sheriff’s departments, we were one of many in the generous Southern Utah community. Cheers to all of you for an amazing holiday season and Thank You!
As we open the door to 2021, the pandemic looms large. The loss of a loved one or a job along with financial and personal insecurity weigh heavy on everyone. Let us all consider our part of making a difference in the New Year: Here is a helpful list of ways to inspire you, your family, and your friends to give back.
Get in The Giving Spirit
Are you able to give money, your expertise, your time? What works for you? There are a multitude of ways to participate. Many of us have been hit hard financially this year. If you cannot give money that’s ok! Here are some other ideas on how you can help:
Social Media – Like, Follow, and Share updates from your favorite non-profits. It doesn’t cost a thing and it’s an easy way to invite others to join in giving.
Donate – Clean out that closet or pantry and donate items to those in need. Don’t forget our furry friends! Animal Shelters are always looking for blankets and pet supplies.
Give Blood – You can give the gift of life, most literally! Blood donors are in high demand and it’s a great way to save lives.
Helping the Elderly – Is there a senior in your neighborhood that could use a hand? Help them with some yard work, walk their dog, or maybe run an errand for them.
Say goodbye to 2020 with a positive spirit and support for others. Say hello to 2021! We can all make a difference, one act of kindness at a time.
Happy New Year from all of us at Bio-One!
Attention Property Owners
Attention property owners and realtors! We can help you more than you know. Just this week we, Bio-One St George, have helped two different property owners who own properties for a secondary income- one for a hoarding/sanitation project and the other being a cat urine remediation. Having had a rental property ourselves, we understand what messes can be left when the previous tenant or owner walks away from the property for good. From hoards, to gross filth, to feces, to urine, to mold, to unbelievable horrific odors, we can help get the property ready for sell and ready for a new family.
Renters do not always treat the home they reside in as if it were their own- this is no secret. Once a renter moves out and the owner assesses the residence for what repairs need to be made, sometimes more issues come up than expected. Even though that lease states that smoking cigarettes in the residence is prohibited, many tenants ignore that rule. We can help with tobacco odor removal! Pets can damage a home by either defecating and/or urinating on the flooring and or walls which not only leaves an awful smell, but a bio-hazard that is not easy to remove. We can help with feces and urine remediation and odor removal from those situations! Hoarding and neglect of throwing away food and/or items that are soiled cause mold and a bad distinguished odor. We can help with hoarding removal, mold remediation, and the awful smell! How about just a deep clean/sanitation of a residence that looks like it has not been properly cleaned in a long time- our chemicals are stronger and better than anything that can be bought over the counter. We can make that residence sparkle!
There really is a long list of what Bio-One can do to help others. Once someone has seen and smelt what our chemicals and machines can do, they are convinced- Bio-One can greatly help in a timely and proficient manner while doing the project properly/the right way. Keep us in mind when you or your clients are forced to deal with any of these issues, and more- we are only a call away!

Professional Disinfection For the Most Vulnerable
December 11, 2020 by Kimberly Harrison
The global Covid-19 outbreak has changed the way we all think about pathogen spread and virus disinfection. As we reach the end of 2020, Covid has claimed the lives of more than 100,000 Long Term Care Residents and Staff. And this number continues to grow.
Recent surges in infection nationwide indicate that up to 40% of all coronavirus deaths are in Long Term Care facilities. The need for fast, efficient, and effective disinfection in these facilities is critical to controlling the spread. At Bio-One, we fulfill this need with the use of our EPA-N list chemicals and electrostatic sprayers.
Electrostatic technology works by charging and atomizing the disinfection solution allowing it to reach and uniformly coat surface, even those missed by manual cleaning. In a recent study at the Cleveland VA Medical Center, a group of doctors looked at pathogens in a 215 bed acute care facility. What they found were significant levels of pathogens on portable equipment, wheel chairs and in waiting rooms. Using approved disinfectants and an electrostatic sprayer, they noted significant reductions in pathogens on all surfaces.
The importance and role of disinfection in preventing the spread of Covid-19 is clear. Hiring a professional cleaning service allows Long Term Care facilities to focus on patient care. Choosing the right service to assist with cleaning protocols is key. Bio-One is the nation’s leading bio-hazard response company. We are proud to offer highly trained, licensed, and insured technicians to aide in the application and effectiveness of disinfection protocols at healthcare facilities.
If you need virus disinfection for your facility or home, please call us at 435-703-4142 or visit us at www.BioOneStGeorge.com.
