Fingerprint Dusting results is a unique crime scene clean up challenge.  Unlike other cleanup substances like bodily fluids, the fine dust poses no harm. It reveals perpetrators and can help a family locate stolen merchandise. 

However, fingerprint dust simply covers every space in a room with a fine layer that will not dissipate.

The following scenario represents the vital need for professional fingerprint dust clean up:

A burglary occurs in the middle of the afternoon, and jewelry is stolen out of a residence. The police department arrives, briefs the family, and dusts the area for fingerprints.  When the family re-enters the home, dust is everywhere. Pulling out a sponge and bucket, the victims begin cleaning.  Thirty minutes later, the dust not only remains, but it seems it has spread on walls and furniture surfaces.

Frustration results. Why won’t the fingerprint dust wash away?

BEFORE Spaulding Clean Up AFTER Spaulding Clean Up

Spaulding Decon has the answer.

When a forensic team dusts for fingerprints they literally throw the graphite dust onto every surface of the room (or car) being tested. The substance spreads onto both visible surfaces and nooks and crannies. Trying to clean fingerprint dust yourself is futile.  Water actually activates the dust, and it is difficult to get rid of it with over-the-counter cleaning products. The blue dye that is being used to extract fingerprints out of blood is extremely difficult to remove.  Spaulding Decon always has the proper chemicals on hand to remove all signs of the intruder.
