    Feb 9 2026

    What happens after the police tape comes down? In this episode of America’s Home Experts, host John Bujak sits down with Kirk from Steri-Clean Detroit to pull back the curtain on one of the most intense blue-collar industries in the world. From cleaning up high-level crime scenes to the deeply emotional work of hoarding remediation, Kirk shares what it’s like to balance a strong stomach with a heart for empathy.

    • The Transition: How Kirk went from the Ford Motor Company launch team to owning a franchise seen on A&E's Hoarders.

    • The Science of "Doing it Right": Why you can't just clean biohazards with Lysol (and why it's like water—it always finds the subfloor).

    • The Psychology of Hoarding: Understanding the trauma behind the "stuff" and why empathy is a required tool for the job.

    • Hidden Dangers: The surprising risks of bird droppings, rodent waste, and কেন "human soup" is a term the pros actually use.
