Some messes cannot be handled with a mop and household cleaner. Blood, bodily fluids and decomposition soak into porous materials and can carry disease, which is why Ingleside Terraces property owners call Ingleside Terraces Biohazard Cleanup Help for biohazard cleaning.
Discretion is part of the work. Vehicles are unmarked, the crew keeps its voice down and nothing about the job is shared with neighbors. Coverage includes Ingleside Terraces, San Francisco and the surrounding area of San Francisco County.
With roughly 2,006 residents, Ingleside Terraces is a small community, and biohazard cleanup is available here the same way it is in a big city. About 76% of homes in San Francisco were built before 1980, and older carpet, subfloor and wood trim absorb fluids deeply.
Household gloves and a spray bottle do not meet the standard for infectious materials. Biohazard decontamination follows 29 CFR 1910.1030, which sets rules for protective equipment, handling and disposal when blood or other potentially infectious materials are present.
Hard surfaces get deep cleaning and a hospital-grade disinfectant from the EPA-registered list. Porous materials such as carpet, padding, mattresses and drywall that hold contamination are cut out and removed, because they cannot be made safe by wiping.
