What vehicle biohazard cleanup covers:
Before anything is touched, the crew looks over the interior for sharp objects, hidden pooling and personal belongings.
Cleaners set up protection, seal off the working area and keep people away from the vehicle.
Contamination is removed piece by piece. Surfaces get a detailed clean followed by an EPA-registered disinfectant.
Disinfectant stays wet on every surface for the label time. The crew then checks the work and takes the waste away.
