Situations
Blood and bodily fluid cleanup
A bad fall, a serious cut, an illness at home: sometimes there is more blood or fluid than a household should handle. An independent company can remove it and disinfect the area.

When to call someone in
Small spills on a hard floor can be cleaned with gloves and a household disinfectant. It is different when fluid has soaked into carpet, a mattress or upholstery, run between floorboards, or reached a wall.
It is also different at work. An employer whose staff could be exposed to blood needs an exposure control plan under OSHA’s bloodborne pathogens standard. If yours doesn't have one, a cleanup company is the safer choice.
Where this comes up
- Homes after a fall, a medical emergency or a long illness
- Rental units between tenants
- Shops, offices, gyms and break rooms
- Stairwells, entryways and shared hallways
Questions
Do I need to wait for anyone before cleaning?
Only if police or the medical examiner were called. Otherwise you can call a cleanup company straight away.
Do I have to hire the company I speak to?
No. You can ask questions, ask for a written quote and take time to decide. Nothing is agreed until you agree it.

Whenever you are ready
There is no rush and no obligation. Call to ask questions, get a quote, or simply understand what would happen next.
Talk it through first
Call when you are ready. Say what happened, where, and whether police or the medical examiner have released the place. An independent cleanup company can then explain what it would do.
