Why blood cleanup can be different from ordinary cleaning
Blood can contact porous and non-porous surfaces, spread through foot traffic or handling, and be present in locations that are not immediately obvious. Cleanup decisions should match the actual extent of contamination.
Common situations
Blood cleanup may be needed after an accident, injury, traumatic incident, released crime scene, or other event that leaves biological material on property surfaces or contents.
Before you attempt cleanup
Limit unnecessary contact with the area. Do not handle sharps or unknown contaminated items unless you are trained and equipped to do so. For larger or uncertain situations, call for help.
Call about the affected property
Describe where the blood is located, the approximate size of the area, and whether porous materials such as carpet, upholstery, drywall, or bedding are affected.
