Fluids are lifted from every surface they reached. Soaked items are removed and the remaining surfaces are sanitized.
The crew inspects each affected area, hauls away the waste and can provide notes for insurance claims.

A small spill on a hard surface can be cleaned with gloves, eye protection and an EPA-registered disinfectant. Do not do it with an open cut, and do not use the car until fluids that soaked into fabric are removed. For larger spills, call a cleanup team.
Many auto insurance policies cover some losses that are not collisions, and some policies exclude cleanup. Only your policy and your insurer can say. Call before cleanup starts, take photos and keep every receipt.
