FROM blood and bodily fluids to used needles, maggots and mouse-droppings, there isn’t much that crime scene cleaner Lauren Baker hasn’t seen – or smelled.

Major crime leaves a trail of devastation – and once police have completed their forensics they call in a crack team of crime scene cleaners like Lauren.

These aren’t your average cleaners. They are highly trained professionals who clean up dangerous hazards, including everything from airborne infectious diseases and killer drug fumes, to explosives, dirty needles and booby traps.

In a new Channel 4 documentary – Crime Scene Cleaners – bodycam footage takes viewers beyond the police tape into the heart of the tragedy.

Trauma cleaning expert Lauren brings years of experience to the most harrowing and dangerous scenes in Kent and Essex.

“I had a gentleman in a flat that was a full decomposition and that was quite bad,” she tells The Sun. 

“The first thing that hits you when you walk through the door is the smell. And if it isn’t the smell it is the flies and the maggots that come with it.”

Lauren had worked in a pub and as a domestic cleaner before becoming inspired to set up her own business as a specialist bio-hazard cleaner.

And now she’s well-known in the business for her signature post-cleanse ritual – opening a window at the end to let the spirit of the deceased person be free.

“I had done a clean in a really grotty property, and the gentleman I helped had been suffering physically and mentally, and carers hadn’t been in there,” she explains. 

“I thought I could help people like him. So I went home and researched it as much as I could. 

“I realised I actually enjoyed the filth and the grime, and I knew there was a market out there. I realised I could help a lot of people through the power of cleaning.”

Toughest job

But being a specialist crime scene cleaner is not for the faint-hearted, as they can be faced with murder scenes, suicides and unattended deaths where people have died alone at home and may not have been found for weeks – or months.

Lauren, who runs LIT biohazard, says: “It is a lot more intense and it takes a lot more of a mental strain on you than a physical strain.”

She admits the toughest job is to clean up a home after someone has sadly taken their own life.

“Obviously they are not your everyday clean up and there is a big story behind them,” Lauren says. 

“I remember one of the first ones I went to and it was more of a mental strain than anything. 

“We were the ones who found the [suicide] letters, we were the ones who had to take the note off the door and I can still remember what that note said word for word.

Lauren Baker

“Sometimes people do it in such a calculated way. 

“We then have to go to the families and tell them what we have found. This one person had emptied bank accounts and left envelopes on the side with money in and named who it should go to. 

“They had left individual letters. The note on the door was written in red pen saying ‘Do not enter, call 999, there is a dead body inside.’

“That one will always stick with me. It really touched a nerve. You can see how they planned exactly what they are doing, and you can see how they are living as well, which led them to this point, not many belongings, not much food in the cupboards.

“You have got to be strong-minded to do this job. I listen to a lot of music. Sometimes I go home and I do have a little cry in the shower.”

Stench of death

Whenever people find out what blonde-haired mum Lauren does for a living she gets a barrage of questions.

“It sparks quite a reaction when I tell people what I do,” she chuckles.

But there is one question she struggles to answer – what does death smell like?

“You do get used to it. But the smell of death I can’t really describe, it is such a distinctive smell,” she says. 

When I first started I remember going home and thinking I smelled of death… one day I even scrubbed myself in Dettol and had about four showers and I could still smell death

Lauren Baker

“We do have strong masks so usually you can’t smell a lot of it. But we swear by putting a bit of Vicks underneath your nose, then your mask, and then you are good to go.

“But when I first started I remember going home and thinking I smelled of death. Psychologically because that is what I’d been smelling all day, that is what you think you smell of. 

“One day I even scrubbed myself in Dettol and had about four showers and I could still smell death.”

Hazardous

Crime scene cleaners must wear top-to-toe PPE which is disposed of every day to shield them from dangerous biohazards, like blood-borne pathogens, harmful bacteria and toxic chemicals.

Lauren’s top priority is always keeping her team safe.

She explains: “My first thought is how long have they been there? Is there any decomposition? 

“How bad is the clean-up going to be? We could be walking into a bloodbath. We could be walking into needles everywhere. 

“You can have faeces, you can have bodily fluids, we don’t know what we’re walking into.”

In the show Lauren’s American counterparts are seen dealing with the scourge of fentanyl addiction and deaths – which pose their own dangers as inhaling airborne fentanyl fumes can cause serious side effects to police officers and crime scene cleaners.

We could be walking into a bloodbath. We could be walking into needles everywhere. You can have faeces, you can have bodily fluids, we don’t know what we’re walking into

Lauren Baker

But thankfully that isn’t something she and her team have experienced in the UK – although they do face different risks on a daily basis.

“There are risks – we have to be vaccinated to do our job,” she says. 

“If we have a person who has passed away in his home and he has an infectious disease, that then can become airborne as his body decomposes.

“We have gone into homes and done needle sweeps before and you will be surprised where you can find needles. 

“You’ve really got to have your wits about you and to be prepared for every situation.

“Most of the time people are generally found within three to four days. But you can have cases where people have been sat there for weeks. 

“And if that is the case then you get an awful lot of decomposition to clean up and that is when you get flies, maggots, all sorts start to fester in there. 

“When someone passes, fluid leaks from every hole in their body.”

Strong stomach

Lauren says hoarder homes are often heartbreaking to visit[/caption]

Lauren’s firm also tackles hoarder cleans and mental health crisis cleaning. 

“A lot of people who are suffering with their mental health, the first thing that takes a hit is their home,” she says.

“They tend to get to a point where they think, ‘I will just step over it,’ and then it gets to a point where there is no walkway to just step over but they are so far in with it that they don’t know a way out. 

“That’s where we step in – a messy house is a messy mind. You can’t get yourself back on the road to recovery with a messy home.

“It all depends on the person. We have done houses where it has been box upon box of empty cereal boxes. 

We have been in properties where we have picked a can up thinking it was empty and it was full of urine

Lauren Baker

“A lot of the time these people have experienced trauma in their past, or their parents had lived like that so it was just normal. But some of them find themselves in such a state. 

“Alcoholics for example. Sometimes they will urinate in bottle after bottle and keep hold of that. 

“They have got to the point where their toilet is overflowing and they don’t know how to unblock it so they go in the bottle or the can. 

“We have been in properties where we have picked a can up thinking it was empty and it was full of urine.”

Biohazard cleaners like Lauren certainly need a strong stomach as well as a strong mind. But Lauren would not have it any other way.

She says: “I absolutely love my job. I’m helping people through cleaning and I wouldn’t choose to do any other job in the world.”

CRYSTAL PALACE are eyeing Middlesbrough’s £15million-rated star Hayden Hackney.

And Palace could be eyeing a £27m double swoop on the Riverside.

That is after also running the rule over his Dutch team-mate Rav van den Berg at the Under-21 European Championship.

Midfielder Hackney, 23, was part of England’s triumphant Under-21 squad.

Premier League clubs, including Tottenham, have been watching his displays for his hometown team for over a year.

Stuttgart are keen and Porto had a £9m bid rejected for him on January’s deadline day.

Hackney, who came through Middlesbrough‘s academy, has already proved he can cut the mustard against the big boys in his standout displays against both Chelsea and Aston Villa in the cups last season.

New Boro boss Rob Edwards would love to keep their prized asset.

But Edwards knows any cash generated from a big sale would help him fund his own transfer splurge.

He first caught the eye of Palace’s former sporting director Dougie Freedman.

And SunSport has learned that he has remained on the Eagles’ radar despite the Scot no longer being at Selhurst Park.

The South London club’s scouts have been spotted at several matches throughout the Under-21 Euros, where Hackney featured four times for England in the run-up to the final.

Meanwhile, we revealed this week that Palace’s talent spotters had also been monitoring £12m-rated Van den Berg out in Slovakia.

A PAIR of white linen trousers or a white T-shirt – two staples in our summer wardrobe this season.

But as chic as they may make us look, light-coloured garments are also prone to stubborn stains that are often impossible to get out.

One cleaning whizz shared how to get your whites sparkling again with a 40p hack[/caption]

The best part? You probably have the item you need in your home already[/caption]

However, there’s a mistake that’s very easy to make, she warned[/caption]

While there are plenty of store-bought powders and products to tackle this, turns out, you can also use alternative methods for a fraction of the price.

Lynsey Crombie, the Queen of Clean, has shared a simple, cost-effective solution to bring back their brightness without spending a fortune.

The best part? You probably have the item you need in your home already.

If you – or your little one – have been enjoying some time in the grass, the whizz told This Morning viewers how any cheap toothpaste can work wonders to remove stubborn green stains.

However, when trying out this trick, there’s an easy mistake not to make, she warned.

”Don’t go and get the blue one – because you’re just gonna make a mess.

White toothpaste, she explained, has got bicarbonate of soda, which helps lift stains and brighten clothing.

To make your garments sparkle, simply apply the white toothpaste directly to the stain with a drop of water.

Rub in with an old toothbrush and leave to sit for ten to 15 minutes.

Pop it in a cold water wash and leave to dry in the sun.

According to the expert, not only will your clothes come out looking like brand new, they will also have that refreshing mint aroma.

”And don’t go buy a really expensive one – they’re 40p in one of the major supermarkets.

”Keep it in your cupboard, rub it in and then just leave that for a bit.”

Zesty trick

But if you don’t have toothpaste at hand, lemons work a treat too, another guru, Thomas Bird, textiles expert and owner of Fabric Online, previously shared.

“Lemon juice is a natural and affordable solution to making your whites even whiter”, he insists.

“Lemons contain citric acid, a natural bleaching agent that effectively breaks down even the toughest stains.

“Unlike chemical whiteners, such as bleach, it lifts stains from your clothes without the risk of damage making it the perfect alternative for brightening your whites.”

A pack of lemons costs just 69p in Aldi, making it a very affordable hack.

Beyond its stain-fighting power, Thomas points out that lemon juice also leaves your clothes with a fresh, citrusy scent whilst eliminating any unpleasant odours.

To use lemon juice in your laundry, simply squeeze three lemons into a glass, which should equal about half a cup of lemon juice.

Next, add the lemon juice directly to your washing machine along with your regular laundry detergent.

Then set your washing machine to the normal spin cycle and let the magic happen.

After the wash, let your clothes dry as usual, and watch the noticeable difference appear as they dry.

IT’S been her favourite fashion combo for years.

And Bianca still reaches for a floral dress and denim jacket whenever she wants to feel stylish and comfortable.

Fashionista Nerys is known for sharing “brutal” style advice and recently took aim at the “frumpy” denim jacket and floral dress look[/caption]

But she was left questioning her ensemble when style maven Nerys Middleton labelled it a fashion crime – insisting it’s “frumpy” and “ageing” when worn by a woman over 50.

However, in a video on her TikTok page, Bianca, 51, insisted she doesn’t understand what’s so offensive about the outfit.

“Why am I being told I shouldn’t wear this outfit?” she asked.

“My initial thoughts are, you can wear what the hell you like – it’s none of anybody’s business what you put on your body.

“What is wrong with a woman of 50 wearing this?

“Is it frumpy? Does it age me? Am I out of a loop that I should be in?”

Bianca went on to say that the outfit has worked for her on virtually any occasion – from a festival to a garden party to a pub brunch.

“In fact, I want to be buried in this outfit,” she declared.

After asking whether or not it’s “wrong for a woman over 50 to wear a floral dress and a denim jacket”, Bianca suddenly said: “You know what?

“They can stick that where the sun don’t shine. I like it. I think it looks good. I’m wearing it.

“I’m out of here!”

She then cheekily directed her conclusion at Nerys, as she said: “She can kiss my ass!”

The comments section was almost immediately filled with people debating the style choice, with some agreeing with Nerys.

“You answered your own question when you said you’ve been in love with this combo ‘for years’ … yep. Dated,” one sighed.

“It’s because everyone looks the same. It’s like an over 50’s uniform!” another added.

“Sorry, I’m with Nerys.”

“She doesn’t say you can’t, she just says it’s ageing on woman over 50,” a third commented.

“But you’re right, wear what you like and just scroll past if you don’t like her content.”

“She’s entitled to her opinion, I don’t understand why people are so triggered by her!” someone else insisted.

“Wear what you want!”

As another diplomatically wrote: “Do you know, you DO look really good.

“However, many of us don’t and Nerys is quite right.

“In this situation, you’re both right!”
