2. Contain and protect
Crews put on PPE, close off the affected area and keep people and pets out. Air movement is limited so germs are not carried into other rooms.

Crews in protective suits remove contaminated materials and clean hard surfaces from the outside of the stain inward. Waste is sealed as it is collected.
4. Sign off with the owner
The crew goes through the finished space with the owner or manager. Waste leaves in sealed containers and the property is ready for the next step.

Biohazard Cleanup FAQs for Twining and District of Columbia
Is dried blood still a biohazard?
Yes. Dried blood can still carry bloodborne pathogens, and scraping or sweeping it can put particles in the air. Leave it alone, keep people away and have a cleanup team treat it with protective gear.
Can a landlord or property manager set up biohazard cleanup?
Yes. Many calls come from managers who need a unit made safe for the next tenant. The lease and local law decide who pays, and the crew can provide photos and records for the owner or insurer.
How do I choose among biohazard cleanup companies?
Ask what training the crew has, how it deals with waste, whether it works with insurers and whether it can provide references. A good company explains the process in plain words. Then decide if the company is the right fit.
What happens to carpet and mattresses after a biohazard event?
Soaked carpet, padding and mattresses are usually removed and sealed for disposal. Germs and odors sink deep, and disinfectant cannot reach them all. Hard surfaces can usually be cleaned and kept.
Who pays for biohazard cleanup in District of Columbia?
It depends on the cause and the property. Insurance is the first place to look. Without it, the owner, the estate or the family usually pays, and in a rental the lease and local law decide. Some cleanup teams offer payment plans.
What should I do before the crew arrives?
Keep people and pets away from the area, and do not touch or wipe anything. Open an exterior window only if it is safe, and photograph what you can for insurance from a distance. Call 911 first if anyone is in danger.
