What bodily fluid cleanup covers:
Everyone steps away. The crew sets up barriers and puts on gloves, eye protection, masks and protective clothing.
Crews test how far liquid travelled into carpet, padding, mattress layers and subfloor, since the surface rarely shows the full picture.
Soaked materials are cut out and bagged. Hard surfaces are cleaned, then disinfected with EPA-registered products.
The crew inspects each affected area, hauls away the waste and can provide notes for insurance claims.

Blood and other body fluids that may carry germs are treated as biohazards. Some, such as blood, can carry bloodborne pathogens like hepatitis B and HIV. Cleanup crews handle all of them with the same protection, because the source of a fluid is not always known.
Yes. Touching feces or contaminated surfaces and then your mouth, nose or eyes can spread germs. Wear gloves and eye protection, wash your hands well afterward and keep children and pets away. A cleanup team has the right gear for larger jobs.
Dried waste can still carry germs, and sweeping or scrubbing it can send particles into the air. That is why it is cleaned carefully with protection and a disinfectant instead of dry sweeping or vacuuming.
