Lewis, August 2011.<br />

Bio-Klenz, founded in July 2010, provides<br />

services of a delicate nature to the Texas<br />

Panhandle and surrounding states. The company<br />

cleans and restores areas in homes,<br />

businesses, or other crime or trauma scenes<br />

affected by the presence of biological, infectious,<br />

or toxic waste. Those areas include<br />

crime scenes, sites where an unattended<br />

death has occurred, and locations where<br />

suicide or homicide have taken place. Their<br />

motto is “Extreme Cleaning for Life’s Extreme<br />

Circumstances.” The fully bonded, insured,<br />

and OSHA certified company provides emergency<br />

response service twenty-four hours a<br />

day, seven days a week. Bio-Klenz is locally<br />

and family owned by Brandon and Christie<br />

Barber who bring twenty-one years of experience<br />

to the marketplace.<br />

Bio-Klenz can safely and properly clean<br />

areas affected with infectious body fluids and<br />

other toxic substances. Bio-Klenz is Hazmat<br />

and HAZWOPER trained and certified to<br />

clean areas where biohazard is present and to<br />

dispose of biohazard materials. They comply<br />

with all state and federal laws and guidelines<br />

in biohazard removal and disposal. Bio-<br />

Klenz’s removal and disposal services are<br />

used for decomposition or unattended death<br />

clean up, blood clean up, meth lab remediation,<br />

and transportation of medical waste.<br />

They can also handle some chemical spills,<br />

tear gas clean up, odor removal, and fingerprint<br />

dust removal.<br />

Bio-Klenz provides the unique service of<br />

cleaning up hoards. They are the only top of<br />

the Panhandle extreme cleaning and hoarding<br />

remediation company. They accept referrals<br />

and calls from local governments to clean up<br />

hoards and cluttered properties. They are<br />

also available for commercial and residential<br />

cleaning as well as smoke removal. Our<br />

newest company is Carpet-Klenz.<br />

Additional efforts to assist their customers<br />

in recovering from tragedy include their partnership<br />

with Hospice of the Southwest and<br />

the Hope and Healing Place. Most types of<br />

insurance cover the services Bio-Klenz provide<br />

and often the only financial responsibility<br />

of customers is the insurance deductible.<br />

They also assist victims with applications for<br />

the Victims of Crime Compensation Fund<br />

requesting help paying cleanup costs.<br />

Bio-Klenz supports community causes like<br />

suicide prevention efforts and programs to<br />

assist family members who take in children of<br />

crime victims. They support Big Brothers Big<br />

Sisters and have been involved in cancer<br />

walks. Their efforts to serve their customers<br />

and give back to the community stem from a<br />

desire to operate their company with compassionate<br />

Christian values. They believe their<br />

customers deserve respect, dignity, discretion,<br />

and privacy during times of tragedy. Bio-<br />

Klenz helps victims or surviving family members<br />

with referrals to counseling or other<br />

resources so they can receive help on an ongoing<br />

basis. They work to restore normalcy to<br />

their customers’ lives. Bio-Klenz is privileged<br />

to provide compassionate services during<br />

times of tragedy.<br />
