Taos Pueblo Biohazard Remediation Questions, Answered
How do you decontaminate after COVID-19 or other illness?
Crews clean, then disinfect touch points, bedding, floors and shared surfaces with products suited to the germ. They wear PPE and bag soiled items safely. The same process applies to C. diff, norovirus and other infections.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Keep people and pets out of the affected area. Do not wipe, vacuum or scrub anything. Take photos from a safe distance for your insurer, and call 911 first if anyone is in danger.
Does decontamination remove odors?
It does when the source is removed. Smells from sewage, fluids or decay live in porous materials and subfloors, so crews take those out and treat the air. Air fresheners cover a smell for only a short time.
How long does decontamination take?
A small area with hard surfaces can take a few hours. Larger or more complicated spaces, heavy odor or many porous items take longer. The crew can offer a better timeline after seeing the site.
How do I choose among biohazard remediation companies?
Ask what training the crew has, how it deals with waste, whether it works with insurers and what records you get. Request references and a clear description of the steps. Then decide whether the company fits your needs.
Why does cleaning come before disinfecting?
Disinfectant does not work well on dirty surfaces, because residue can shield germs from the product. Crews remove visible material, clean every surface with detergent and then apply disinfectant for the contact time on its label. Skipping the cleaning step is a common reason a job fails.
