WE'LL MAKE IT GO AWAY

Most people are used to seeing crime scene investigators collection evidence. But after all their pictures of the scene are taken, someone has to come in and clean up.

Hollywood has often portrayed the crime scene clean-up process.

The film "Sunshine Cleaning" profiles two women who start a crime scene cleaning company. In "Pulp Fiction," actors John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson famously get help from Harvey Keitel to clean up their own crime scene.

And ABC's "How to Get Away with Murder" shows people desperately trying to clean crime scene evidence.

But in real life, the legal clean-up truck that arrives is from SERVPRO Albuquerque Restoration.

The clean-ups are typically paid for with homeowner insurance.

When tear gas is fired, it takes up to three months to clean.

While some may ask who would want to do this job, employees like the fact it's always something different every day at work.
