Hello. I am studying forensics and I am thinking of taking up crime scene cleaning as my career. I have heard so highly about crime scene cleaners from my late uncle who was a forensic professional, that I have started developing respect for them.
What are the qualifications required for this type of job?

cool. I'm also studying forensics, so it'll be interesting to see what someone posts. Do crime scene cleaners come in after the evidence techs?

No, crime scene cleaners come in after the criminal but before the techs...what they do falls under "obstruction of justice".

How do they clean w/o destroying evidence and ruining the chain of custody?

You want a job cleaning crime scenes? I got some East coast based Italian 'business associates' who could use someone with your skills.
