The Blood Clean Up Process in Los Alamos, Step by Step

1. Walk-through and plan

A technician looks over the scene and explains what can be cleaned and what has to be removed.

2. Protect the rest of the space

3. Removal and disinfection

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

Disinfectant stays wet on every surface for the label time. The crew then checks the work and takes the waste out.

What Los Alamos Residents Ask About Blood Cleanup

Does homeowners insurance cover biohazard cleanup?

Many homeowners policies cover crime or death cleanup after the deductible, but an ordinary injury may not be covered. Renters policies often cover cleanup but not the building. Call the insurer before cleanup starts, take photos and keep every receipt.

Who cleans up blood spills in the workplace?

Employers have to protect workers who may be exposed, and the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard applies. A small spill may be cleaned up by staff who have the right training and supplies on site. Larger spills or blood that soaked in call for a commercial blood cleanup team.

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.

Is bleach enough to clean blood?

Bleach can disinfect some hard surfaces when it is used by the label, but it does not reach blood that has soaked into porous materials. It should never be mixed with other cleaners because the fumes can be dangerous. A cleanup team uses a full process.

Should I use cloth towels or paper towels to clean up blood?

Disposable absorbent towels are usually used so they can be bagged and thrown out as waste. Cloth towels that touch blood become contaminated laundry and need careful handling. Either way, wear gloves and never reuse a towel on another surface.

How do you clean up blood?

Safely cleaning up blood means gloves, eye protection, disposable absorbent towels and an EPA-registered disinfectant used by the label. A small spill on a hard surface can be managed with that protection. Large spills, or blood that soaked into carpet or wood, call for a cleanup team.
