What Dry Creek Residents Ask About Blood Cleanup
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.
Do I need a blood spill cleanup service after a nosebleed or minor cut?
Usually not. Small amounts of blood on a hard surface can be cleaned with gloves and a disinfectant. A cleanup service becomes useful when the spill is large, has soaked in, reached several rooms or involved another person's blood.
How long do diseases last in dried blood?
It depends on the germ and the conditions, and nobody can judge it by looking at a stain. Hepatitis B, for example, can survive on surfaces for a considerable time. That is why dried blood is treated as infectious until it has been properly disinfected.
How long does blood cleanup take?
It depends on the size of the spill and the materials involved. A small spill on tile is a short job. Blood that reached carpet, padding or subfloor takes longer because materials must be removed and the area disinfected.
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.
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.
