Trusted Cleanup for the Horse Capital and the Bluegrass

Lexington is the second-largest city in Kentucky and the heart of the Bluegrass, a community of more than 320,000 governed jointly with Fayette County as the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government. Known as the Horse Capital of the World and the Athens of the West, it surrounds the University of Kentucky and reaches out from a busy downtown to neighborhoods like Chevy Chase, Ashland Park, Kenwick, and Masterson Station, then on to the horse farms and rural roads that ring the county. ACT Cleaners serves all of it, around the clock, with discretion and care for every family.

Our IICRC-certified technicians respond to the full range of biohazard situations: unattended death, suicide, homicide, blood and bodily fluid incidents, hoarding, and infectious disease decontamination. We clean to OSHA bloodborne pathogen standards using EPA-registered, hospital-grade products, and we confirm every scene with ATP verification testing before the work is done.

Why Professional Cleanup Matters

Blood and bodily fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV, and ordinary cleaners do not neutralize them. Lexington’s housing runs from historic homes near downtown and Ashland Park to newer subdivisions and rural properties across Fayette County, all of which can hide contamination in flooring, subfloor, and wall cavities long after a surface looks clean. Our technicians clean to OSHA standards, wear full PPE, and verify results with ATP testing. And no family member should be the one who cleans up after losing someone. Letting our team handle it protects your health and spares you a memory you cannot take back.

Working With Lexington and Fayette County Authorities

In Kentucky, the county coroner investigates sudden, violent, and unexpected deaths. The Fayette County Coroner’s Office works alongside the Lexington Police Department, which has jurisdiction across all of Fayette County, and the Kentucky State Police where applicable. ACT Cleaners is available to assist when called, and we never enter a scene until investigators have released it. Once they do, we coordinate access directly with law enforcement, a property manager, or a family member, so you are not asked to be present.

Lexington Pro Tip: rentals, farms, and properties checked on after a gap

Lexington blends a large university-rental market with rural horse-country properties, and in both, an unattended death can go undiscovered for longer, which makes the cleanup more involved. If you manage off-campus housing near the University of Kentucky, or you own a farm or rural home and have not been able to reach someone, do not enter and attempt to clean it yourself. Call the authorities to check on the person first, then call us. The sooner a certified team handles the scene, the more of the property can be saved, and the lower the risk to everyone.

Help With the Cost in Lexington

Most Lexington families pay little or nothing out of pocket. Homeowner’s insurance commonly covers biohazard and trauma cleanup, and we bill your carrier directly. When a crime is involved, Kentucky’s Crime Victims Compensation program may help on top of insurance. As of 2024, the program raised its maximum award to $50,000, increased funeral reimbursement to up to $10,000, and specifically added crime scene cleanup to its list of reimbursable expenses. Contact the Kentucky Crime Victims Compensation Board at 502-782-8255, and we can help you understand whether your situation may qualify.
