What biohazard cleanup covers:
Before anything is touched, the crew checks for hazards such as sharps and glass. People and pets stay out while protective equipment goes on.
Items that fluids have soaked into are removed, because germs can hide deep inside porous materials. Everything is bagged and labeled as it leaves the room.
Visible material is picked up first. Soaked carpet, padding and other porous items are cut out, sealed and set aside, and the remaining surfaces are scrubbed.
Odor sources are treated, not masked. The team photographs and records the work so insurers, landlords and families have what they need.
