Not everyone is afraid to dirty their hands in order to get a decent salary. Stacey Foyster resigned from her position at the bank and became a crime scene cleaner. Now a woman earns three times more, but she has to do very dirty work. She is forced to clean the surfaces of bloodstains and restore order in smelly dens. Nevertheless, the British woman is happy with her occupation, because it brings good money. Find out how she came up with the idea to clean up the murder scenes from our material.

33-year-old Stacy decided three years ago to change her stable job in a bank to cleaning crime scenes. She was inspired to do this by one of the most famous British cleanliness experts, Mrs. Hinch. Now the woman earns more than 80,000 pounds (about 7.6 million rubles) a year, and in a banking position she received only 28,000 pounds (about 2.7 million rubles).

A resident of Kent says that she was tired of sitting in the office all day, so she decided to work with her hands. Stacey always liked to clean, she was a fan of Mrs. Hinch, known for her cleanliness life hacks. At first, the British woman began to clean up in the office of a friend as a side job.

One day Stacy saw a TV show about crime scene cleaners, and this topic interested her very much. She wanted to try herself in a similar field. The woman took courses on biohazard and disinfection, and in 2018 opened her own company Cleansed.

A first-class cleaning team works 24 hours a day. She should get to any corner of the UK in 2-3 hours. Specialists clean up the premises where murders, suicides have occurred, clean up drug dens. They also clean up where people died of natural causes. During the coronavirus pandemic, disinfection cleaning became popular.

Stacy admits that cleaning up places where violent crimes have been committed is not a pleasant thing. But her main motive is a good income and the opportunity to help her family and friends. The only thing that makes her squeamish is feces. The worst thing she had to see at work was a toilet that had not been flushed for several months, which was in the house of a mentally ill person. Then she even threw up.

The British woman uses special toxic deodorants that help eliminate the fetid odors of decomposing bodies. A team of cleaners cleans the walls and floor of the premises from nicotine stains. But blood stains from the tissue, as a rule, cannot be removed.

Crime scene cleaning specialists treat their work with respect. Before the cleaning begins, they light a candle to honor the memory of the deceased with a minute of silence, and then do their job conscientiously.
