The safety steps are the same, but commercial jobs may involve shared restrooms, customers and business hours. Crews work to close off the area, clean it and keep documentation for managers and insurers.
Crews follow rules designed to protect workers from bloodborne pathogens, including the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, when blood or other body fluids are present. Rental housing and sanitation rules vary by city and county.
Urine is treated with caution, especially when it is mixed with blood or other fluids or has soaked into flooring and mattresses. It can leave bacteria and strong odor behind. A cleanup team removes the soaked materials and disinfects the area.
No single product is best for every surface. Waste is removed first, then an EPA-registered disinfectant is used by the label. Porous materials such as carpet and mattresses often have to be removed rather than cleaned.
Wear gloves, lift the waste with a disposable tool and bag it. Hose down only hard surfaces away from drains, wells and play areas. For large amounts, near a home or on a worksite, a cleanup team can remove and disinfect.
Relatives or an estate sometimes cover the cost. Free help exists in some places for people with low incomes, and a local social services office may know of it. Ask the cleanup team about payment plans too.
