A typical blood spill cleanup job includes:

  • Odor removal from the affected area once the blood is gone
  • Sealed packaging and disposal of blood waste as regulated medical waste
  • Dried blood that has hardened and must be softened and lifted safely
  • Soaked carpet, padding, rugs and subfloor cut out and removed as waste
  • Blood in vehicles, including seats, floor mats, door panels and trunks

How Blood Cleaners Work in Alexandria, TN

1. Assessment

The team looks at where the blood spread, what it soaked into and which surfaces are involved.

2. Soak-through check

Crews test how far blood travelled into carpet, padding, grout and subfloor, since the surface rarely shows the full story.

3. Removal and disinfection

Soaked materials are cut out and bagged. Hard surfaces are cleaned, then disinfected with EPA-registered products.

4. Inspect and document

The crew inspects each affected area, hauls away the waste and can provide notes for insurance claims.

Blood Cleanup Questions Answered for Alexandria, TN

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.

What should I do before the cleaners get there?

Call 911 first if anyone is hurt. Keep people and pets away from the blood, do not wipe it up bare-handed and take photos if you can. Write down what the blood touched so the crew knows where to look.

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.

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.

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.

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.
