Common Questions About Blood Clean Up in Elk Plain, WA
Is bleach enough to clean blood?
Bleach can disinfect some hard surfaces when it is used by the label, but it does not reach blood that has soaked into porous materials. It should never be mixed with other cleaners because the fumes can be dangerous. A cleanup team uses a full process.
Should I use cloth towels or paper towels to clean up blood?
Disposable absorbent towels are usually used so they can be bagged and thrown out as waste. Cloth towels that touch blood become contaminated laundry and need careful handling. Either way, wear gloves and never reuse a towel on another surface.
Do I need a blood spill cleanup service after a nosebleed or minor cut?
Usually not. Small amounts of blood on a hard surface can be cleaned with gloves and a disinfectant. A cleanup service becomes useful when the spill is large, has soaked in, reached several rooms or involved another person's blood.
Will the neighbors know a blood cleanup is happening?
Blood cleanup is handled discreetly. Ask when you call about unmarked vehicles and quiet work. Cleaners are there for the property owner, not to draw attention.
What should I do before the cleaners get there?
Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Keep people and pets away from the blood, do not wipe it up bare-handed and take photos if you can. Write down what the blood touched so the crew knows where to look.
What should you use when cleaning up blood?
Use disposable gloves, eye protection, disposable absorbent towels and a disinfectant that is EPA-registered for bloodborne pathogens. Follow the label for how long the surface must stay wet. Bag the used materials and keep them away from other people.
