3. Strip, scrub and sanitize
Porous materials that cannot be cleaned are cut away. The rest is scrubbed and sanitized in layers, so no spot is left to chance.
4. Sign off with the owner
The crew goes through the finished space with the owner or manager. Waste leaves in sealed containers and the property is ready for the next step.

John Day Biohazard Cleaning Questions, Answered
Does homeowners insurance cover biohazard cleanup?
Often, yes. Many homeowners policies cover crime or death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain causes. Renters policies may cover cleanup of belongings but not the building. Call the insurer before work starts, take photos and keep every receipt.
Can I clean up a biohazard myself?
It is not recommended. Bloodborne pathogens can survive on surfaces, and household products often miss germs that soaked into porous materials. Professional crews use PPE, sealed containers and disinfectants that match the hazard.
Can a landlord or property manager set up biohazard cleanup?
Yes. Many calls come from managers who need a unit made safe for the next tenant. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records for the owner or insurer.
What is considered a biohazard?
A biohazard is any biological material that can make people sick. Common examples are blood, bodily fluids, human waste, sewage, needles, decomposing remains and some animal waste. If you are unsure, stay out of the area and ask a cleanup team.
Is dried blood still a biohazard?
Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and scraping or sweeping it can put particles in the air. Leave it alone, keep people away and have a cleanup team treat it with protective gear.
Do I need to be home during the cleanup?
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.
