Specialized biohazard cleanup crews do. They wear protective gear, remove affected materials, disinfect surfaces and treat odor.

Relatives are advised not to clean the room themselves, because fluids can carry germs and the work is deeply upsetting.
Crews work quietly and treat the job with discretion. Ask about arrival and parking details when you call. If a landlord needs to notify other tenants, that decision belongs to the landlord, not the cleanup crew.
