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.
Crews put on PPE, close off the affected area and keep people and pets out. Air movement is limited so germs are not carried into other rooms.
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.
Disinfection and odor control come last. The crew walks through the finished area with the owner and answers any questions about what was done.
