The team confirms the area is clear of people and pets, then suits up and sets the working limits of the room.
Fluids are traced across floors, walls and furniture, including seams, baseboards and places that are easy to miss.
Fluids are lifted from every surface they reached. Soaked items are removed and the remaining surfaces are sanitized.
Disinfectant stays wet on each surface for the label time. The crew then checks the work and takes the waste out.

Dried waste can still carry germs, and sweeping or scrubbing it can send particles into the air. That is why it is cleaned carefully with protection and a disinfectant instead of dry sweeping or vacuuming.
Urine is treated with caution when it is part of a contamination, especially if mixed with blood or other fluids. Large amounts that soak into flooring or mattresses are cleaned with protective gear and disinfected. Odor often stays behind unless the soaked materials are removed.
It depends on the cause and the policy. Sudden events are more often covered than long-term neglect. Ask the cleanup team whether it can supply the paperwork an insurer asks for and whether it bills the insurer directly.
Breathing the odor of feces is unpleasant and can irritate the nose, throat and eyes. Dried waste can also release particles when it is disturbed. Ventilate if you can, avoid sweeping or scrubbing, and call a cleanup team for large amounts.
Blood and other body fluids that may carry germs are treated as biohazards. Some, such as blood, can carry bloodborne pathogens like hepatitis B and HIV. Cleanup crews handle all of them with the same protection, because the source of a fluid is not always known.
There is no single best product. Waste is removed first, then an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label on the surface in question. Porous materials such as carpet and mattresses often have to be removed rather than cleaned.
