STERI-CLEAN® INDIANA - Fingerprint Dust Cleanup
I am sure you have seen this on TV when the CSI team arrives on the scene of a crime and they begin dusting all the surfaces. They are trying to gather the critical “who dunit” information necessary to bring criminals to justice. This dusting for prints can be the crucial step in solving a crime, but it can also be a real nuisance to the property owner who is left with the cleanup.
Fingerprint dust is, most often, made up of a black graphite powder requiring a complex cleaning treatment. Simply put, it is one of those frustrating substances when you spray it doesn’t seem to get wet and when you try wiping it you only spread it around. So Frustrating…
Steri-Clean has developed techniques and chemicals to properly remove and neutralize fingerprint dust as well as other substances investigators use. (I.e. Luminol)
Fingerprint Dust Cleanup
If your home, auto or business has been the scene of a crime and requires fingerprint dust cleanup it is important to understand the type they used and which chemicals are most effective lifting the dust from affected surfaces. Certain situations require significant dusting in order for investigators to gain the information they need. In these cases, it is highly recommended one should shut down air handling equipment to the affected areas as soon as possible. This will help prevent the spread of this very fine dust all over the place
Your first instinct may be to clean it yourself. CAUTION: If the powder gets wet, you may have a bigger problem. Consider what would happen if you poured water on cocoa powder, then try wiping it. Nothing good happens, right? Now, use sugar, milk and a little heat. MMM, good right? This is a similar concept to cleaning fingerprint dust.
