Porous items that absorbed fluids, such as carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery, are usually removed. Hard items can often be cleaned and disinfected. The team explains which is which before work begins.

Usually not. Ask the team how keys and access can be arranged. A landlord, property manager or representative can often meet the crew. You can ask the team to set aside keepsakes and papers for you.

How is the waste handled?

Soaked materials are sealed in approved containers and taken to lawful disposal. In Texas, companies that haul other people's untreated medical waste register with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. Ask any team how its waste is hauled.

Workers who handle blood and body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. It calls for protective equipment, safe handling and proper disposal. Ask any team what training it has and how it disposes of waste.

Will the neighbors know about the cleanup?

Crews work quietly and handle the job with discretion. Ask about arrival and parking details when you call. If a landlord needs to notify other tenants, that decision belongs to the landlord.
