Biohazard Cleanup Steps for Opelousas, LA Properties
2. Take out what is contaminated
Items that fluids have soaked into are removed, because germs can hide deep inside porous materials. Everything is bagged and labeled as it leaves the room.
3. Clean before disinfecting
Detergent lifts residue from every surface first. Disinfectant does not work well on dirt, so this step comes before the chemical treatment.
4. Deodorize and document
Odor sources are treated, not masked. The team photographs and records the work so insurers, landlords and families have what they need.
