Crime scene cleaners have revealed some of the worst things they have witnessed in their gruesome jobs - including the outline of a body on a bathroom floor covered in blood, disgusting matted clumps of hair and foul piles of trash.

Professional clean-up technicians Tom DeSena, 23, and Junior Lallbachan, 26, from Florida, US, share TikTok clips of the grim sites they encounter once cops have left, including one where a person was found dead in their bathroom.

The horrific footage, viewed 120,000 times on TikTok, shows vinyl bathroom flooring in a home in Virginia, covered in blood with the duo, who work for a specialist cleaning company, tasked with cleaning the crime scene.

The pair, who work for a specialist cleaning company, were unsure of the cause of death but successfully tackled the mess by removing vinyl flooring, carpet and a mattress.

Other snaps on the account show similarly grisly scenes including one that appears to be the outline of a body left behind on the floor.

The duo, who always don full protective suits and masks before attending a property, are on call 24/7 and work 70-90 hours a week.

The strong-stomached pair share a home in Florida, US, and drive up to 22 hours to handle traumatic and potentially dangerous toxic waste left behind in people's homes once police and forensics experts have left.

Tom, who has been working with the company since 2020, says the pair often go in blind to a job and have to ask clients whether there are animals, drugs or weapons on the property.

He said: "We do all types of clean ups - suicide clean ups, homicide clean ups, all types of death.

"We also do overdoses - fentanyl is definitely a big one. We see it everywhere, and it's one of the most dangerous jobs.

"We always ask the right questions to the customers. We always ask if there's fentanyl, if there's weapons, if there's cats and dogs, or big pit bulls.

"We treat all jobs equally, no matter what it is - whether it's biohazards, hoarding, drugs, mental illness. We do our best to just do it the right way every single time.

"We do our best to make sure that we're safe, we have each other's backs, we always wear full suits and full masks going into a place.

"People say 'how do you eat lunch?' but when I go to lunch I don't think about it. I don't have nightmares, because I don't think about it.

"When I rewatch [the TikToks], I sit back and take the perspective of the viewer and think 'wow, this looks graphic'."

Although Tom enjoys his unconventional career, the 23-year-old admits that it is hard work and potentially dangerous at times.

Tom said: "We usually average 70-90 hours a week, if business is there. We work on call 24/7.

We also drive 22 hours to Texas, so one drive to Texas [and back] is 50 hours. It's a different type of schedule.

"I enjoy the job. Do I want to do this forever? No. It's physically laborious and it's a dangerous job. Everything except for the body is there.

"We get good reviews, no matter what the job is."
