That is up to law enforcement and the case, and it can vary. Cleanup comes after the release. The length of the cleanup itself depends on the size of the scene and how far fluids spread.
It is not advised. Blood and body fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens, and fluids often soak deeper than they look. A professional crew has the gear, disinfectants and waste handling to do it safely.
State the facts plainly: what happened, when, and that the scene has been released. Ask what the policy covers and what paperwork it needs. Take photos if you can and keep every receipt.
Often yes. The crew can close off one area, use barriers and plan around staff and customers. Tell the team about opening hours and entrances so the work causes as little disruption as possible.
Usually not. Many owners set up access by phone, with a key holder or property manager. Tell the team who has the keys and whether the building must stay open around the work.
Crews set personal items aside and clean what can be saved. Items soaked with fluids may have to be removed. The team tells you what it finds so you can decide what matters.
