- Fluid contamination from an unattended death, a violent event or an accident
- Sealed packaging and disposal of fluid waste as regulated medical waste
- Sharps and broken glass found in or near the contamination
- Bedding, clothing, towels and small items that must be bagged or discarded
- Bodily fluids left after an illness, a fall, a seizure or a medical event

Common Questions About Bodily Fluid Clean Up in Garner
Can you get sick from cleaning up human feces?
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.
Does bodily fluid cleanup include odor removal?
Yes. Odor usually fades once all of the source material is gone. When fluids soaked into porous materials, those materials are removed and the area is treated. A strong smell can mean contamination remains below the surface.
Is vomit considered a biohazard?
Vomit can carry viruses such as norovirus, so it is treated as a contamination risk. A small amount on a hard surface can be cleaned with protection. Larger amounts or vomit that soaked into carpet or bedding call for a cleanup team.
Can I remove feces manually?
A small amount on a hard surface can be removed with protection and a disinfectant. Do not do it with an open cut on your hands, and do not sweep or scrub dried waste. For large amounts or deep stains, call a human feces removal team.
Is commercial feces cleanup different from home cleanup?
The safety steps are the same, but commercial jobs may involve shared restrooms, customers and business hours. Crews work to close off the area, clean it quickly and keep documentation for managers and insurers.
What should I do before the cleaners get there?
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Keep people and pets away from the area, open a window if you can, and do not wipe or spray the spill. Take photos for insurance and note what the fluid touched.
