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.
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.
Crime scene cleaners wear protective gear, contain the area, remove soaked porous materials and lift blood from hard surfaces. They then disinfect with EPA-registered products and haul the waste away. The goal is to remove the hazard, not just the stain.
At a home, the owner or the family usually pays. At a rental or a business, the landlord, property owner or employer often gets the cleanup done. In a rental, the lease and local law decide, and a landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say.
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.
Items heavily soaked with blood or that could release liquid blood are handled as regulated medical waste. A small amount on a lightly stained item is treated differently. A blood cleanup company can sort what must be removed and how.
