TOP 3 THINGS HOMEOWNERS DON’T REALIZE 👇
1️⃣ Blood, bodily fluids, and drug residues can soak through carpet, padding, and into the subfloor in just hours.
And if blood or drug contamination is involved, carpet cleaning is NOT an approved remediation process. In many situations, simply spraying and extracting contaminated materials can violate proper remediation, transportation, and disposal requirements.
2️⃣ Most carpet cleaners and cleaning companies are NOT licensed, insured, or certified biohazard remediation companies.
And this is important:
A company may be insured for “general cleaning” work… but biohazard remediation often requires completely different environmental and pollution liability coverage.
If a contamination claim happens later and their carrier determines they performed unapproved biohazard remediation work, that claim may not be covered the way homeowners think it is.
3️⃣ Just putting on a mask does NOT mean someone is legally compliant or properly protected.
Respirators require medical evaluations, fit testing, training, and proper PPE procedures specific to that exact mask type.
And water or bleach are NOT approved methods for cleaning blood-saturated porous materials in many remediation situations.
In fact, spraying liquids onto contaminated materials can spread contamination deeper into the structure and create cross-contamination throughout the room.
There’s a reason professional biohazard remediation exists:
containment, removal, decontamination, compliant handling, transportation, and legal disposal.
Cheap cleanup can become a very expensive problem
