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.
Detergent lifts residue from every surface first. Disinfectant does not work well on dirt, so this step comes before the chemical treatment.
The crew goes through the finished space with the owner or manager. Waste leaves in sealed containers and the property is ready for the next step.
