Blood Spill Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Sammamish, WA
Is blood a biohazard?
Yes. Blood can carry bloodborne pathogens such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV, so it is treated as a biological hazard. Cleaning it up follows the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, when workers are involved.
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.
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.
Do blood cleaners handle blood in a vehicle?
Yes. Blood on seats, floor mats, door panels and in trunks is cleaned and disinfected, and heavily soaked upholstery may need removal. Vehicle jobs follow the same protective steps as work inside a building.
Can blood be removed from carpet?
Surface stains may lift, but blood that soaked through carpet and padding can sit in the subfloor and keep carrying germs and odor. In that case the soaked carpet and padding are cut out and disposed of as waste.
What should you use when cleaning up blood?
Use disposable gloves, eye protection, disposable absorbent towels and a disinfectant that is EPA-registered for bloodborne pathogens. Follow the label for how long the surface must stay wet. Bag the used materials and keep them away from other people.
