What bodily fluid cleanup covers:
Before anything is touched, the crew looks over the room for sharp objects, hidden pooling and fragile belongings.
Crews test how far liquid travelled into carpet, padding, mattress layers and subfloor, since the surface rarely shows the full picture.
Contaminated materials come out first. Surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, and odor is treated at its source.
The crew inspects each affected area, hauls away the waste and can provide notes for insurance claims.
