Gloves, eye protection, respirators and disposable suits go on before the crew crosses the boundary. Doors and vents in the work area are managed.

Visible material and items that cannot be saved are removed and sealed. Every surface is then cleaned with detergent, because residue shields germs from disinfectant.

Millbrae Biohazard Remediation Questions, Answered
Can landlords order decontamination between tenants?
Yes. Property managers often call when a unit shows signs of bodily fluids, sewage or neglect. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records for the owner.
Can carpet and mattresses be saved?
Sometimes, but often not. Porous materials soak up fluids, and germs can remain deep inside where disinfectant cannot reach. The team looks at each item and explains which can be saved. Items that cannot be cleaned are removed, sealed and hauled away.
What is the difference between biohazard cleanup and decontamination?
Cleanup removes blood, bodily fluids and other material from a scene. Decontamination makes the cleaned surfaces and the space safe again through cleaning and disinfecting. Most jobs include both, and the crew can explain how it treats each.
Will the neighbors know?
Usually not. Crews arrive in unmarked vehicles, work quietly and keep details private. Tell the team if discretion matters, and it will plan around that.
Can I decontaminate a space myself?
Light, simple messes may be manageable with gloves and the right product, but blood, sewage and infectious material are not. Mistakes can spread germs, and household cleaners often miss what soaked into porous items. Crews use PPE, containment and tested procedures.
What if the contamination came from a death or a crime?
The crew treats the space with care and keeps the details private. Law enforcement must release a crime scene before cleanup begins. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 any time.
