The Biohazard Cleaning Process in Elsberry, Step by Step
2. Contain and protect
Crews put on PPE, close off the affected area and keep people and pets out. Air movement is limited so germs are not carried into other rooms.
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. Disinfect and finish
An EPA-registered disinfectant stays wet on each surface for its full contact time. The team treats odor, hauls waste and checks the work before leaving.

In many cases no. Owners, family members and property managers can set up access with the crew, and the team can work while you are away. Say so when you call if staying elsewhere is easier.
