Blood Cleanup Questions Answered for Shoreline, WA
Can blood-soaked items go in the regular trash?
Items heavily soaked with blood or that could release liquid blood are handled as regulated medical waste. A small amount on a lightly stained item is treated differently. A blood cleanup company can sort what must be removed and how.
Can I clean a small blood spill myself?
A small spill on a hard surface can be cleaned with gloves, eye protection and an EPA-registered disinfectant. Do not do it if you have an open cut, or if blood has soaked into carpet, wood or grout. When in doubt, call a blood cleanup company.
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 cleans up blood the best?
No single product is best for every surface. Blood is lifted first, then the area is disinfected with a product made for bloodborne pathogens. Porous materials such as carpet or drywall often have to be removed instead of cleaned.
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.
What do hospitals use to clean up blood?
Hospitals use hospital-grade, EPA-registered disinfectants after the visible blood has been removed. Professional blood cleaners use the same kind of products, matched to the surface and the germ list on the label.
