Biohazard cleanup guide
Can You Clean Up Blood Yourself?
A small household blood spill on a cleanable surface is different from extensive contamination, unknown exposure risks, porous materials, or a trauma scene.
When the situation is more complex
Professional help may be appropriate when contamination is widespread, has soaked into carpet or building materials, involves an unknown source, or is connected to a traumatic event or death.
Protect yourself first
Avoid direct contact with blood and bodily fluids, and do not enter any location that is unsafe, restricted, or still under investigation.
When in doubt
If you are unsure whether a scene is safe to handle, call and describe the situation before attempting cleanup.
Safety note: Do not enter an active or unsafe scene. For immediate danger or medical emergencies, call 911.
