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.
The team inspects the affected area and notes every surface the contamination touched. It explains what can be cleaned and what has to be removed.
Contaminated material is removed and sealed. Every affected surface is cleaned, then disinfected with products that stay wet for the full contact time.
Disinfection and odor control come last. The crew walks through the finished area with the owner and answers any questions about what was done.
