No single product is best for every surface. Waste is removed first, then an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label. Porous materials such as carpet and mattresses often have to be removed rather than cleaned.
There is no safe rule for how long. Germs in waste can remain on surfaces and in dust after the waste has dried. That is why aged waste is still cleaned and disinfected with protection.
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt or ill. Keep people and pets out of the area, open a window if you can, and do not spray or scrub the waste. Take photos for insurance and note what the waste touched.
The price depends on the amount of waste, how long it sat, how deep it soaked in and how many rooms are affected. A cleanup company gives a price after seeing the affected area. Some teams offer payment plans, so ask when you call.
It depends on the cause. Many homeowners policies cover sudden events, such as a toilet overflow, while some exclude long-term damage or neglect. Renters policies often cover the renter's belongings but not the building. Call the insurer before cleanup starts.
The odor is unpleasant and can irritate the nose, throat and eyes. Dried waste can release particles when disturbed, so avoid sweeping or scrubbing it. Open a window if you can and call a cleanup team for large amounts.
